Why is there no pictures of people who are injured or killed in Iraq? In books on wars in the past you see gory pictures of dead and injured people, but i havnt seen one picture like this of todays wars.

Or an editorial comment from the Universe? He tried several times, without success, to wipe off the stain (I'm reminded of Shakespeare's MACBETH, in which Lady McBeth says, "Out Damned spot!"). You can find the story on today's (5/24/07) edition of The Drudge Report.

In light of smoking bans in businesses and workplaces all around the country, I find this Question relevant and interesting.

TODAY'S HEADLINE:
Study: Smoking forbidden in most U.S. households.
• CDC survey: Nearly three out of four U.S. homes ban smoking
• Increase from 43 percent banning smoke 10 years ago

THE STORY:

So, what about YOUR house or apartment?
"Light 'em if you got 'em!"
or
"Not in my house!"

Our gas prices rise. We claim price gouging, and abuse by the oil companies. They defend themselves saying that demand has risen, and accidents/unplanned/planned maitenance has lowered production. They don't build new plants because it's costly, and takes a long time to get through environmental red tape. My question becomes, why aren't oil companies taking these profits, and using them to increase the speed of repairs and open new refineries despite the red-tape? If production starts to fall, wouldn't most companies readjust their fund distribution to restore production as quickly as possible? Is there any way to get details on the "accidents" and "maitenance" on these refineries so we can know what is slowing oil production so much that we haven't had a break from rising gas prices for quite a while?

Instead of sending US soldiers to fight in Iraq, let's bring them all home, and take all of the prisoners doing time in US correctional facilities, and ship them to Iraq. Give them enough weapons and supplies to last for a few months. If they can get their butts out of there alive, they're free to live where ever they end up. In the process, they'll probably blow away a few insurgents and wreak enough havoc to scare the hell out of anyone wanting to cause problems over there.

They left her alone unattended which resulted in Maddie been taken from them they then turn the whole situation into a money making machine.

In regards to the whole affair they act like minor celebs, why would they put a diary on the maddy page? why would we want to know about maddies parents minute to minute existence? why is Maddies Mum going on daily runs when her daughters missing? Why have the media made so much of this and hardly a mention of the girl that went missing from Newcastle. The whole affiar stinks of some kind of " reality obduction " tv programme.

It's hard for me to be proud for the fallen soldiers or cry for them when I think that their lives were wasted in an unneccesary war. Why can't we just send special forces and leave the regulars at home? This war is just like Vietnam. You can't tell who the enemy is or where they'll strike next. We attacked Sadaam when he wasn't responsible for 9/11. We sent people in to avert a tragedy from weapons that didn't exist. Are we ignoring the fact that the terrorists cells are here in America training for their next attack? Shouldn't we be mostly concerned with protecting our homeground instead of punching into the dark?

Or do you just want a reason to be upset? CLEARLY the troops have no power in this. How would it be possible for THEM to be the terrorists? They are just doing their jobs.

If you are an Iraqi and you are being attacked by a nation, I am sorry, but to THEM that would make US the terrorists. It's an ugly truth.

Terrorist: a person who terrorizes or frightens others.

Why aren't we looking for Bin Ladin since he is the mastermind of Al Qaida?

In it he says:

"Obviously with Madeleine still not back we are very disappointed. I wouldn't go so far as to say frustrated, but we are disappointed," he said. "We hope the authorities are going to explore more avenues and focus the resources very much on sightings and other information."

So if he's disappointed and wants the authorities to examine sightings more closely, then why dont they actually USE some of the money the public have donated and hire a private detective who can chase up leads such as that in Morocco.

Its all very well to say they are disappointed and they hope the focus is more about sightings, but if they dont believe the police are doing a stellar job, then why not hire PI's to help chase up leads as they happen and not wait for days for the police to get round to it?

They sit there throwing stones, but wont actually use the fund money as it was intended instead they'll quite happily use it to fund their entourage instead of looking for Maddy?

MSNBC has a poll out in which you can vote. 429,860 votes so far with 88% saying yes.

"...Of course this is unscientific, but the numbers are astounding nonetheless. For a little context, check out what the polls said for Clinton and what they're now saying for Bush. Wow..."

Are there any Israelis/Jews here who find the occupation of Palestine as a stin on your image?
I know I will get a mixed response and the majority will state that they are in favour of this.
Howerver,if you were to put youself in their position and being annexed from the world since 1948 you would be a little pissed off.
Suicide bombings ets are barbaric & I wish that on nobody...but with the illegal wall being built in Jerusalem and the constant barraging of all Palestinians desperate times call for desperate measures.

As somebody of Arab descent (Iraq) I recofnise Israel and Palestine as seperate states.
Though if you truly do want peace you first must stop border controls in what is the Palestinians country and ease the predjudice to them...if you were to take the initative the world would see and applaud, if Hamas declined we would all see that the Israeli government did at least "try".

Approximately 25% of young American muslims say homicide bombings to "defend their religion" are sometimes OK. Yet most of the mainstream media swept that under the rug and instead yammered about the "positive" stuff, like muslims in America are the most mainstream, etc..

I wonder what the spin would be if 25% of European Americans thought that way.
