Several weeks ago, with much media fanfare, the James Baker-Lee Hamilton Committee submitted to President George W. Bush its long-awaited, bipartisan report on the U.S. war in Iraq. On balance, the report provided Bush with a face-saving strategy for pulling out all U.S. combat forces by the beginning of 2008. The Baker-Hamilton report favors an increase of U.S. advisers being embedded inside Iraqi troops & direct negotiations with regional powers Iran & Syria.

Bush, however, almost immediately distanced himself from key proposals in the Baker-Hamilton report. He now seems prepared to flagrantly flaunt his contempt for the majority of American voters, who purged both the Senate and House of their Republican majorities last November. Why does Bush defy public opinion by pursuing this unpopular war? Do you believe it is America's need to "combat Islamic terrorism"? Or perhaps the economic necessity for the USA to control international markets and natural resources? Neither?

I've gotten in over my head. Some of the debt is my fault but I was recently hurt in a seriously bad accident and now I'm in BIG debt. The helicoptor ride alone was almost $12,000. I'm suing the kid who hit me but until I win in court, which could take up to two years, I have to pay for everything. I'm about ready to lose my house. I feel like such a failure. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. If anyone knows of a program that would help me with my debt or something like that please let me know. Just in case you're wondering no I didn't have insurance. We couldn't afford to. Thank you for reading my question.

It's one thing if you keep to yourself and not bother anyone, but if you're going to dish it, shouldn't you be able to take it?

This summer I went out with a girl for 3 months. At the end of the summer, there were some issues with both of our families that caused her to say that her life was too hectic to have a "Boyfriend" right now. I was ok with that because my life was pretty crazy at the time too. I started dating on and off since, but within the past month she's been calling, emailing, and we've hung out watching movies.

I guess the issue is we were getting pretty serious in our relationship before we stepped back. I don't want to rush anything but I don't know if we have to start from the beginning or do can we pick up from where we left off.

I have never taken a relationship serious enough to go the long haul.Now I have a friend that wants us to just take things slow and Im not for sure how to do this.Like most we have already had sex. Hes a really nice guy and stays on me about my appearance and how I carry myself around others.Like telling me I should wear a skirt and wear my long hair down instead of in a ponytail.When I go to see him which is 3 hours away,he makes sure I have fun etc.He comes to my state once a month or more to see his family and take care of business.I called him one night to check on him and he sounded as if he was sleep and had a few drinks&was not that much interested in talking to me.When I told him he apologized&wanted to make it up to me.I told him I did'nt want to drive all the way there 4 dinner&drinks.We already planned 2 C eachother the weekend.then he apologized about 3 times on my voicemail 4 being greedy.At what point will I know if we are in a relationship?I felt the apologies uncall 4

I alrady have a baby. I had a period a couple of weeks ago and I have not missed one yet, but I keep feeling sick and and back is sore (which i had this at the begining of my previous pregnancy). My nerves are getting the better of me but i know a test would not show anything yet (i dont think). How early does your body show symptoms of pregnancy?

Meaning, all of the Shi Tzu, poodle, pomeranian, etc. mixes that are being sold at common petstores as pure breed or a new breed, for thousands of dollars. Most "new breed" owners say look at my rare dog... I just laugh and say "you paid what for that?" I have a Dalmation mix that I adopted from the shelter and he's great. People with money to burn will never learn that just because it has a high price tag doesn't mean it's the real deal or that it will have a good bloodline. If anyone has anything to add or discuss feel free to respond.
