If there was a draft, I think that not only could we win in Iraq but that it would be done much faster and with fewer casualties (being that there is so much strength in numbers). Otherwise, we will not win, and will have to leave, and the terrorists will gain in numbers and spread throughout the Middle East. Leaving us, America, crippled (from lack of oil) and then finished off in ten to fifteen years by all the countless terrorists there will be.

If everyone did not buy gas for one week, the prices would drop in half over night, the back-up would be unbelivable. Do it whatever way you can and we can get this down by June. And, please stay away from the big names, it's all the same. ***** PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE *****

Our Government tells us Iraq is an immediate threat and then blows the crap out of it

Then they find no weapons but because they blew it up "oops" they have to send 800 billion dollars to repair what they blew up

Then our country has a major hurricane (Katrina) hit one of our 50 United States (Louisiana) and no one from FEMA or the Government shows up for a week to help. Louisiana still sits in ruin today while we still send millions more to Iraq over our weapons mistake.

Now to top it off, the emergency trailors that FEMA/Federal Government gave to the victims of Katrina are poisonous with formaldehyde That children and women can die from illness like cancer caused by these fumes! This country is being managed and controlled by a foreign interest!

Since when did America come second to foreign policy and foreign agenda's?

Why is one of our 50 States still in need rebuilding from disaster when you are rebuilding another Country and sending millions because of your mistake

The inevitable response to this will be:

"Oh yes but you can always carry your lottery ticket with you and it doesn't get tired - a child is not so easy. Yeah maybe so, but even if I did leave it behind, i would probably make sure it was locked away so no one could get at it - wouldn't you? I think they didn't fulfill their duty of care for this child.

If it had been two unemployed parents whose child that had been abducted in East London, while they had popped over the road for something to eat and drink and she had been returned by now, do you think social services would open an investigation and then take their other kids into care while they determined if they were responsible enough to care for a child? I think they would. But will anything similar happen to the McCanns?

hello all! let me start by saying that I'm proud to live here, in Israel! The problem is I think we suffered enough!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
the hamas has one of our soldiers, the hizbullah has two of others.
Every single day they are sending bombs from Gaza to Sderot...

If (for example) Mexico will decide to send a kassam rocket on Us... do you really think there will be something left from it? NO
do you think that France or Italy or Britain or any normal country would sit and do nothing while TERRORIST attacking it's country? NO
but when Israel is responding, then the whole world starts to scream... and why? because we're defending ourselves?

Erevryone is telling me to but how can I??? I've stopped watching news and decided no to go on YahooAnswers until she is found... But then I get emails about her about so I decided to stop using Internet... Then I got texts about her so I decided to switch off my mobile... Then I got post and there was a letter for the Madeline fund!!! How will a fund help her??? I decided that I am spending too much time so I went outside and there I saw... Posters of Madeline!!! How will posters in her in London help her???

How can I stay away from the story??? I think if I spend time in my bedroom, there will probably be people screaming "HELP MADELINE!!! HELP FIND MADELINE!!!" and I would hear them in my bedroom...

Missing white woman syndrome (MWWS), also known as missing pretty girl syndrome, is a term coined by a number of media figures to refer to disproportionate media coverage of white female victims.

Guess what, there was no 9/11 conspiracy. The twin towers did not melt but metal weakens at 400 F. Implosions have to start from the bottom, twin towers from the top. The war in Iraq was a victory and Afghanistan. Wake up people, the US is the only country on earth willing to stick out its neck and doing what is right rather then what is popular. I think the US has gone nuts and Bush and the gang are the only sane ones left. No imperialism, not for oil, no 9/11 conspiracy. Just the US trying to rid the world of extremists who threaten the free world. Think about it logically. The internet has swayed people to somehow blame the US for 9/11, make people believe Iraq is a failure. Anyone ever study war? We lost many more people in on battle in other wars then we have lost total in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over years. It is the conspiracy nuts that have done the brain washing, making millions off of books, TV and internet making up myths you fools believe. Believein theUS

Israel has CAUSED more trouble and bloodshed in the Middle East than any other country or group. They practice genocide and assassination, both banned by international treaties. They refuse to sign a nuke non-proliferation pact.

re: UK TV documentary 18/5/2007, Dispatches, on Channel 4... detailing plight of girls / women in Afghanistan... for example: girls as young as 7 sold into marriage, kept house-bound, beaten by husband, mother-in-law, not allowed to be educated, they cook, clean, sew (are forced to remain ignorant to suit the men)... one woman every 28 minutes dying in child-birth, their husband decides if / when they need medical help... result: ruptured uterus... once girl has died, the village forget all about her... so system carries on.
The poor girls / women are using kerosene to set fire to themselves... to show that in life they suffered... if they live, in pain as few drugs...

Things worse in Afghanistan now since the allies war... the huge sums for reconstruction have disappeared - gone to the rich, not the poor...

Surely, there must be some way other women can reach these women, to let them know we care, we support their wish for greater freedom/s, for education, for more equality...

I would ask the police.

'As the situation currently stands, are the McCanns likely to face charges. If so, when?'

'Can you clarify the times the McCanns did check on their children as at the moment it ranges from anything from half an hour to an hour or more'

'Can you clarify the distance between the apartment and the restaurant they were in. According to the Aunt it was less than 40 yards which is CLEARLY incorrect.'

'Can you state where they were sitting in the restaurant that night and did they have an unobstructed view of both the apartment and the pool in case Madeleine got up and wandered off and fell into the pool.'

'Who was the last person to see Madeleine alive besides the McCanns?'

'Did Madeleine ever meet Robert Murat before her disappearance?' - I heard somewhere that she may have and that might have made it easier for him to kidnap her if she thought he was a friendly face and trusted him enough to walk off with him, perhaps under the guise of finding her parents
