A Dove In The Hand

Tao Te Ching is a great text which can be easily put to practice, if one 
is willing. However, the notion that Bush might even "listen to Lao Tzu" 
lies in the realm of fantasy, not to mention absurdity. The war on Iraq 
has been decided many months ago (in fact, before the attack on 
Afghanistan). No matter how many protests take place in the US (he 
doesn't give a damn about protests in other countries anyway), the war 
will still happen, because he and his counsellors feel it would be good 
for the economy, which hasn't been doing well lately. And in this day 
and age, unfortunately, economy is a primary concern.

By the way, you should never chill red wine. It suppresses its aroma.
