On the Roseola front, the fever broke yesterday am, and Rose seemed so much better, we went to the Beltan fest all day yesterday and were gonna go out today, then she went to sleep *on her own* (weird) and woke up with the telltale rash and a low fever. So no park for us.
This from Rob Breszeny (sp? would go check but Rose screameth)

Heh, that was hard. And Iraq isn't a democracy as a direct result of our gov't bombing them either. Maybe it's premature to think so, but wouldn't that happen directly and it would be obvious that it was going to happen right? And the track record. Oh my.
Quite a long list of necessary targets I must say. All in a good half-century's work =D.
Actually, much as I hate to admit it, there is one country on the list where a case could be made for a democratic (by US standards) result, Grenada.
I like you're site
