And the US will win again when Russia takes over the G8 presidency next year. All these clowns want to see is if the US would take the plunge before they'll act. They're only pressuring the US as a typical rah-rah bandwagon jumping rhetoric. Certainly, China, Mexico, Brazil, and India would not be able to survive the economic impact if they were to buy into the Kyoto Protocol. They don't have the slightest chance. So, all they can say is, "Yeah, you first." Good thing it isn't Pres. Clinton who is being pressured right now or else we'd be utterly screwed. Bush will not succumb to this half-baked strategy. He's too smart to know that it won't work and there are other ways that are more viable. We shall win again next year when Putin is putting on his rah-rah facade.
Mr. Putin, let's see you go first. We promise to follow if your half-baked Kyoto Protocol propaganda is making any significant environmental change and isn't killing your economy.
