I'm sure McCain intends well. But he can't even tell the difference
between Shiite and Sunni when the situation calls for it.

McCain, for all his desire to win, doesn't understand *this* enemy.

and what we are fighting for."

Kidney Stones Tied to Global Warming

(July 15) -- Global warming could do more than hurt polar bears: It
could force a rise in kidney stones, scientists warned Monday.

"We see a relationship between kidney stones and temperatures
everywhere," says study co-author Margaret Pearle of the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. "Even in places with air
conditioning, warmer temperatures mean more stones."

Kidney stones result from salts crystallizing in the kidneys, often
triggered by dehydration, causing famously painful blockages.
Nationwide, kidney stones strike about 12%% of all men and 7%% of women
over their lifetime.

Warm southeastern states get 50%% more cases than northeastern ones.
The new research says global warming will drive this so-called kidney
stone "belt" north triggering at least 1.6 million new cases by 2050.
