    My re-post is a hint that I'm not impressed with that answer.

    I think he went to Canada once, but cancelled out on Switzerland for fear of arrest.

    Who is interested in impressing you? The fact is that he has traveled out of the country and is a private citizen involved in his and Laura's charitable endeavors. That really is all you have a right to know.

    Yeah!

    Sprightly had an awful lot to say about the Clenis so has a helluva nerve here.

    Is she a hypocrite or what?

    No one has a right to know what he's doing unless he wants you to know. Including me. No one had the right to illegally access his or his family members e-mail and spread it around the Internet. Deal with it.

    You know what? I think people are going to go on knowing things regardless of how much you disapprove. Deal with it.

    And I will continue to express my opinion. Deal with that.

    And if you crazies had any real interest in knowing what he was doing, a little research would give you the answers that you seek. But let's get real, you don't, which is why you won't spend the sixty seconds doing so. I hope that one day your private information is spread all over the Internet. I hope that you will not feel too violated or embarrassed.

    But he'll never win an award for his art work. BTW can you name any republican politician who has received a Nobel over the past 15 years ? Me neither.

    No but Ronald Reagan did more for peace and freedom by helping to win the cold war than Obama could do with ten terms.

    You counter action with political words. Carter had a lot of good words. Not much on the results. I will take results over words any day.

    Reagan had action --- like arming the moral equivalent of America's Founding Fathers so they could fight against the Soviet Union.

    He said it about the Mujahadeen fighters who had fought and won against our enemy at the time. Those men later went on to fight the Taliban. But he did not say those words about the Taliban which had not yet even formed. It becomes a little more complicated so you will need to do some research.

    He was born in the bin Laden family to billionaire Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden in Saudi Arabia. He studied there in college until 1979, when he joined the mujahideen forces in Pakistan against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

    He helped to fund the mujahideen by funneling arms, money and fighters from the Arab world into Afghanistan, also gaining popularity from many Arabs.

    In 1988, he formed al Qaeda.

    The original Taliban was formed as local resistance to warlords who robbed and demanded money from people who traveled along the roadways. The movement became more and more powerful and it's original intent perverted. Good history of this in The Loomimg Tower.

    If Reagan didn't praise the Taliban specifically he certainly praised groups every bit as boorish, violent and corrupt. This is a case of something being true even if it never happened.

    You would do great in government.
