If we need 130 billion for war couldn't we keep that for each citizen to start a new life, home, and/or business? Who couldn't live off a cool million or two? 130 billion sounds like plenty for everyone! Doesn't China have 1 billion citizens the most for one country? Even middle school students could see this check has extras for our friends north and south!

My additional detail is all the scientific evidence of global warming.

In addition to the question, I would like the Yahoo editors place this question on the ask! homepage.

This is a real question. Not some polyana junk a celeb would ask.

Judge lets paedophile go free and says: buy a bike to cheer up victim
Dominic Kennedy

Angry family's protests dismissed
Suspended prison term 'is best option'




A judge refused to jail a convicted paedophile for another offence and ordered him to pay his latest victim, a six-year-old girl, enough money to buy a new bicycle to cheer herself up.
Relatives reacted angrily as Judge Julian Hall imposed a suspended sentence on Eric Cole, 71, who had previously been imprisoned for abusing a 12-year-old child.
This British Court Judge should be removed from the bench.

The mainstream news is reporting that Libby was told by Dick Cheney to leak Valerie Plame's name to the press to punish her husband Joe Wilson for telling the administration that Iraq did not have any nuclear weapons or prospects of making any. And the following night Bush said that Iraq had tried to obtain nuclear material from Africa in his national address! That is called KNOWINGLY MISLEADING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Strange that this has happened when there are no migrating species about. Does anyone else suspect the Animal Rights terrorists or other political extremists might have had a hand in this? Bernard Mathews is the most prominent turkey farmer in the country (remember his Booti'ful ad campaign), turkey farming is probably the most intensive form of "agribusiness" and as such receives attention from the fluffybunny huggers and care in the community types who infest the Animal Rights movement. Of course these turkeys were due on our tables at Easter, so this would be an optimum time to sabotage the industry.

I for one never bought the Chinese Restaurant theory about the origins of Foot & Mouth. Strange that the original farmer effected had been through the courts for mistreatment of his pigs and had had problems with activists as well.

Then there all the other extremist groups who might see a chance to disrupt everything from the food supply to public health by infecting UK turkeys

I think its time to put away the guns and start some kind of political agenda for Peace, Lets rebuild the gaza strip its where the money is and lets use Steel for money in Iraq Lebanon and all the places that need reconstruction. Lets start making money instead of spending money on guns and bombs.

The U.S. has lost too many young people, have thousands more that are maimed, and is now in so much debt that the next three generations won't be able to pay it off.

Over 3100 of our military men and women have been killed in Iraq. Over 15,000 have returned without arms, legs, sight, and with severe brain damage. Why are these men and women fighting and losing their lives/limbs in Iraq--fighting the "war on terrorism"-- when terrorists could easily come into our country through our open borders--with chemical, nuclear, biological weapons/bombs?

Osama Bin Ladin called on Muslims to "obey God's command to kill the Americans and plunder their possessions . . . to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military" . . . .he and his sympathizers want to eliminate Western influence and restore their version of Islam to the world.

Will we wake up in time to realize that "peace on earth, goodwill to all men" is NOT what is being taught in your local Mosque.

If it is unification, then we probably need to help them find a strong ruthless dictator to hold things together. Where is Saddam when you need him now?
If the goal is breaking apart the country of Iraq, then it can be accomplished by stirring things up until so many factions are warring against each other so violently that we can only withdraw and watch things fall apart. Well, if you look at our actions rather than listen to our words, then this must be our goal.

Everybody has ideas on what we should do. I am curious if anyone has any ideas about what will eventually happen. I am worried about the outcome no matter whose political party gets to determine the actions. it seems hopeless either way but what will happen? what is the scenerio we all dread and are trying to avoid?
Just higher gas prices or maybe world wide disasters and so forth. Does anyone believe the new plan will work and we will win and everything will be OK after that?

For example, this "Republican strategist" on MSNBC was trying to convince everyone that Gore did nothing for the environment, but Bush has and finally he is raisnig the question. I think global warming finally came to light under our current administration because the White House was pressuring government scientists to change crucial wording on reports about climatic change.
