Self-determination, as far as the Cayman Islands is concerned, is being in a position in which we can look after ourselves financially and keep the door open for the UK to represent us around the world and to be a part of the British system, judicially or otherwise.
In the case of the Cayman Islands, it is a convergence of political, economic, psychological and socio-cultural forces which is at play.
The islands do not have a history of this and the leaders, careful as they must be, to maintain the viability of the economy which is anchored in tourism and banking, are constrained by this fact and, hopefully, are unlikely to jeopardize the future of the islands for political gain.

In short, Democratic Party leaders have a lot to be upset about, and a lot of ground to make up before the 2006 elections, but the list of vulnerable points in their rivals' camp is long and growing ever longer.
The laudable tendency among Democrats who opposed the destruction of Afghanistan is to engage the DLC on the real merits of the argument.
Their assumption is that the Democratic party has, by some magical process, become what they have always wanted it to be - a Big Blue Money Machine, rolling on toward some great payday for them and their friends, one day soon when the Republican gravy train runs out of steam, all in due course.
