If I were on the bridge team, I''d keep my bridge trophy and frame the menu. The openness and the integrity of these bridge players already lead me to believe that they have probably performed more community service as upstanding members of the communities in which they live, than many people are required to do by the court system. The members of the US Bridge Team are all ACES in my eyes.

Martel is as stupidly arrogant as Bush and Cheney are.

Sorry, most European & Asian tourists have ALREADY EXPERIENCED European/Asian curiousity of the present state of the U.S. government -- even bellhops ask U.S. tourists: "How did this happen in the U.S...", "What on earth did your country do to have these sad state of affairs...", "We like Americans as a people...but your government..."
These foreigners SPEAK ENGLISH, READ AMERICAN PAPERS - Reuters & BBC News carry more about U.S. than American papers...
Americans try to "shrug" off these questions - but a whole week as these Bridge Players played in heavily contested serious competition -- IT PROBABLY SEEMED THEIR ONLY REPLY...
America (actually the Bush Administration) should remember the old adage: Walk softly & carry a big stick!
Sadly, Diplomacy is a LOST CAUSE in current U.S. foreign tactics!

tell it to fascist nazi terrorislam nancy,,,

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

USA''s PLEDGE 2 THE WORLD GIVEN BY JFK!!

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961

One ought never to turn one''s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein

Switching Sides: Inside The Enemy Camp

But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.

"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.

Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.

Martel, president of the United States Bridge Federation, can suck boogers out of Bush''s head, just plain wrong. Those players can do what they want, and anyone who would edit them is seriously in the wrong. What, is some deep dark secret that a huge majority of Americans hate Bush? That he lost the majority in his first one, and barely got it in the second? Where does that say there is a mandate we are all supposed to "toe the line"? I figure folks in other countries hate Bush, but don''t need to hate us.. lets give them a reason not to, and that little sign sure says it, concisely, without drama. Unless they have clear cut statements that these players signed directly stating NO POLITICS or EXPRESSION then they are free to do as they wish. They can come make stuff up restriction wise after the fact.

The history books accounts of current times will be chock-full of examples of moon-battery from these kinds of kooks.

It will make the hippies of the 60''s look clean and articulate, in comparison - and will be the bane of the Democrat Party for generations.

This is disgusting. No matter how you feel about a politician, you don''''t disgrace your country in this manner. This team should move to Mexico or Venezuela.
