The joke in our family is that whenever we go anywhere, we are prepared for anything, even nuclear war. However, news stories continue to tell us about families hitting the road without planning for emergencies, and leaving their common sense behind. Yet, somehow, their essential stupidity is ignored by the media and they are presented as heroes when and if they are finally rescued from their own incompetence. What do you think?

Smokers in the U.S. think they have the right to pollute the air that other's breathe, and that it's okay to endanger other's lives despite soaring healthcare costs. Why is that?

Do you support terrorism?
The western world(US and the followers) strike nations without a responding strength like Afghanistan and Iraq and maybe Iran soon and then expect a peaceful world? I think terrorism is an outcome of inability of a nations to launch a full out war.
It is a fact that most nations start stagnating after a while, will US stagnate and the BRICs come to power. Is it true that America is run by foreigners on most high post while Americans remain unqualified and incapable of running their nation if it is true that most American doctors engineers and scientists are Indian and Chinese and if they went back to develop their own countries would US hire pizza delivery boys in NASA .
Should the world follow communism and sustainable development? It is essential that the US be destroyed soon or the pollution it causes will destroy the world in the coming century.
They had trouble with Iraq can they stand China or India war?
Is the western world going to end soon?...

"Searchers scouring a rugged canyon Tuesday found a pair of pants matching the description of those worn by a missing man who struck out for help after his family's car got stuck in the snow."


"The discovery also could signal that Kim suffered severe hypothermia."

He has been on foot for almost 4 days now...=(

It's disgusting to see what an uproar there is over Senator Fritzwater's proposal that the U.S. drop a nuclear bomb on the city of Mosul in Iraq. There have been all sorts of arguments referring to the Geneva Conventions and international law. But the people who make these arguments are almost always Democrats who are looking ahead to the 2008 election and just want to see President Bush fail in Iraq.

Nothing in the rules of war forbids soldiers to act in self-defense. We know that Mosul is a terrorist stronghold, and it's from there that most of the deadly attacks on our forces are planned. If you were out walking on your property with your shotgun on your arm and saw a rattlesnake two feet away, coiled and ready to strike, would you stand there and do nothing? Critics of Sen. Fritzwater insist we should politely ask the snake not to attack us.

True, some civilians, maybe twenty or thirty thousand, would die in a nuclear strike. Nobody wants to see innocent people harmed, but we can't expect our soldiers to stand by and do nothing as they're about to be ambushed. Those who fret over the death of a few civilians should just remember the type of enemy we're fighting: those terrorists think nothing of kidnapping innocent people and beheading them on TV. If fighting a war according to "gentlemen's rules" would cause the insurgents to lay down their arms and surrender quietly, then using nuclear weapons would be wrong. But only fools living in a fantasy world believe that the terrorists will give up so easily. The al-Qaeda attacks against us in New York and Washington, as well as the terrorist attacks in Indonesia and Madrid, have taught us that Arabs have a different mind-set when it comes to fighting wars. If we are going to defeat them in Iraq, the gloves have to come off.

It's as though the critics haven't learned from history about the necessity of protecting the U.S. against the next terrorist attack. Have we already forgotten the 3,000 innocent Americans who died on September 11, 2001? When will the pacifists wake up and realize that everything has changed since that fateful day?

History will judge us unkindly if we do nothing while al-Qaeda takes over the entire planet. We must do whatever it takes to win. It's time for the critics either to be quiet or to let the suspicion of treason fall upon them.
