Current Events - January 2007

I am finding myself conflicted with the U.S's method of finding and destroying "suspected" terrorists and their cohorts. In the true "American way", shouldn't we be obtaining these "suspects" and trying them in the court system? Is that not the basis of which our country was established? I am interested in hearing others opinions on this, either for or against.

I wouldn’t want a president that runs the country on public opinion or for that matter world opinion. I also would not want a president that did not pray for wisdom. Radical Islam is calling for Jihad, do you understand what that means? They hate the freedom, because freedom is the greatest threat to them. These terrorist are in every country in the world, and want to take over the world and popular opinion would allow that. I will admit that I have never had the opportunity to live in a country where freedom is not a way of life. I have heard of people who join terrorist organization, but I have never heard of anyone that will leave their freedom behind immigrate to a county where freedom is not even a word. To many people have died in the world because of the terrorist, popular opinion would sooner bury their heads in the sand and continue to ignore people with no voice. Get off the fence you can’t have it both ways, you have to choose freedom or certain death.

why is bush so blood thirsty?
Bush has the capacity to catch the terrorists he wanted and punish them with all the latest technology usa has, why go and bomb and kill and maim hundreds of ppl who perhaps had nothing to do with the terrorists in the first place?
I think the american law says "YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY" so the ppl who died after the american bombing in somalia must have been innocent because nobody
has proved they were guilty.

I am not sorry he is dead, but there is no need to make a spectacle of it. Protesting about it won`t bring him back. A man who killed millions even his son inlaw because he was becoming too powerful. People are very wishy washy. Suddenly now everyone is complaining about how he died. He didn`t show any mercy to his victims and neither did his sons. To the guy who said he wasn`t a threat because he was 70,thats such a joke.A friend of mine on a mission to South Africa was witness at the surgery of a 9 month old and 4 year old girl who were violently raped and one of the attackers was in his 60s and 70s so please preach to the choir.Sorry to quote scripture but if you live by the sword you will die by it and even i am not a religous person. In jail alive , he would still have been a threat to the present govt and people. When you live ina country where people at least have a small say in how they are run you can`t truly appreciate leaving in country where people have no say at all.

Seems like tension is building once again, The Bush administration is meddling once again, putting sanctions against a country where there is NO PROOF "as of yet" that they are building nuclear weapons. When will it stop? If Iran does build nuclear weapons, if they do build them it will be because some form of stability is needed in the Middle East, Israel has them, they can launch an attack anytime they wish to do so, isn't that like laughing in the face of people in that area. The world allows Israel to carry nuclear weapons why not Iran.

A council has threatened a tenant with eviction because the neighbour has complained about him smoking!Evidently the person goes to his back door for a ciggy and the neighbour can smell the smoke, she complained to the council and the council decided it was a infringement of her rights as a council tenant.So sent him a letter warning him of a possible eviction.Your thoughts please.

I have it on good account that the whole thing came about from a luncheon visit by Rosie O'Donald and Nancy Grace.
Having had too good a lunch, one let one go, and the other simply reacted with the same. I understand Bill O'Reilly was part of the Pharting Factor.
The cloud of gas was monstrous, and was, indeed, enough to vacate Manhattan.
Thank God Hillary wasn't there, or the gas could have been toxic.

Aren't military officers supposed to expect that they could die in a war no matter what justification the war was fought on? Isn't that part of the point in defending the country?

Or am I missing something?

I know that this statement sounds strange but I have included several links to the shocking documents that I have discovered on the net.

The sites that I have found are -

http://tribes.tribe.net/conspiracypureevil/thread/7ddf9835-2b12-4b49-bb81-e371adbdc75f

http://www.timboucher.com/journal/2005/07/07/the-nation-of-islams-ufo-myth/

These sites talk of UFOs but they dont call them this but reffer to them as - “Great Mother Plane” or “Great Mother Wheel"

They talk of bombs in these and how they set up mountains on earth.

Farrakhan/Nation of Islam - is the group that this is known under.

Is this a conspiracy or does this religion have contact with the other beings of this universe??

I find this very interesting as I thought that this was all about a fat budda??

i just read on the web there has been and i quote 'over 200 ecstacy related deaths in the uk since 1996' is it just me or is that really low considering how popular the drug is? im pretty sure alchol related deaths are in the tens of thousands (but im gonna check that up). the article was selling that as a bad point but to me it makes it sound very safe (ive never tried it so im totally unbiased), what a weird country we live in.
