want them) and those that actually USE them?

Surely military action by Yankees (and Brits) should only follow the USE of these weapons? Or else we are the aggressors and it is a preemptive, immoral war?

Are they going to make the same mistake with Iran as they did with Iraq

Has Bush's credibility wavered at all in your mind? With the recent report by the United States National Intelligence Estimate stating Iran is NOT an immediate threat
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7126117.stm) after Bush and his administration REPEATEDLY have said they are ("Mr. Bush said he had “told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.” http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/18/washington/18prexy.html)) and beating the drum for war, doesn't this make him seem a little loony? Is he oblivious to reason? How would you defend this blatant example of fearmongering and manipulation?

"Bush: US must remain vigilant on Iran"

Are you even a little embarrassed? I'm sorry in advance for offending anyone, I'm just perplexed that anyone would continue to support this guy.

Their advanced policies of open borders, retreat in the face of danger, granting citizen's rights to illegal aliens, negotiations with terrorist sponsor nations, the taking of property and wealth from those who have earned it for "the common good",
will have almost immediate and devastating effects on the economy and the citizens from which we may not be able to recover.
The tragedy of the movement of the poverty line northward over a 1000 miles will be insurmountable.

Priorities don’t get much more twisted. A country that can’t find the money to provide health coverage for its children, or to rebuild the city of New Orleans, or to create a first-class public school system, is flushing whole generations worth of cash into the bottomless pit of a failed and endless war.

Every single day I look at Yahoo Business reports. One day oil is up, the next day oil is down. Is it all just a bunch of hokie pokie speculation?

This is an unscientific effort to get a "feel" for what the country is doing. I will undoubtedly vote in primaries and general elections. I also believe that the defeat of Islamic terrorism is our #1 issue. The economy is doing well, social security needs fixed and soon, healthcare needs to remain an issue for the open marketplace. Look at all the conflicts around the world and you will see Muslims involved. And YES, I believe we must fight them on their turf and prevent them from moving the battle to ours. Removing the troops brings the battle home.

Do you need inside information about Area 51? Do you have to be an abductee from the 1980's? Do you need a membership to Rosie O'Donnell's blog? Or does it just take a bump on the head?

Just curious what you all thought. Everyone has sighed in relief that the "Teddy Bear" teacher is back home on British soil. But Britain is home to a large number of extremists. How safe is she really? The death warrant (sorry I don't recall what it's named) against Salman Rushdie comes to mind.

This was on the news this morning as there is a line in the full length version which is offensive to scottish folk - sorry I was half asleep and can't recall the actual words.

I personally think we should scrap the whole thing and start again, its truly awful and the worst of the bunch.

who's with me?

The haters on here keep on about what dreadful parents Kate and Gerry McCann are, but I've seen worse in my local High Street: parents smacking thier children; feeding them junk; leaving them by the magazines while they do their shopping; shouting at them for no reason; driving them around without safety seats let alone safety belts; children as young as 5 or 6 travelling on buses alone; the list goes on...

If you are so concerned about child neglect why not volunteer some of your clearly abundant free time to do something to help real cases of neglect and abuse?

Here's a few suggestions to be going on with:

I am diplomatic, warm, kind hearted, realistic, well educated, wealthy, have a life, sleep well at nights, never obsessed (always in control of my emotions). So why do I think They are guilty as sin?

I hope those who so vehemently and vocally lept to an 'outraged' defence were humbled by her words upon landing at Heathrow this morning. Not a shred of hatred, anger or religious dicsrimination in sight!

I have a huge amount of respect for the woman and was pleased that she was so keen to stress that she had not meant to cause offence - clearly taking the customs, culture and laws of her host country seriously as opposed to mocking them as was done on here!

Well done Gillian and welcome back!

Mrs Gibbons, who described herself as "just an ordinary teacher", said she did not want to put anyone off going to Sudan....

yeah right .. well thats ok then..

Or was she trying to show she was in 'good spirits' by cracking a joke...

or maybe the media really hammed it up a bit... can't believe anything nowadays... spin city!!!
