There're good couples out there looking for kids. If a woman doesn't feel as though she's ready to carry the responsibility of raising a child, then why not give it to someone who can?

Democrats are up in arms about Bush and the "unlawful" war in Iraq. How come they forget about Bosnia, Vietnam, and Korea?

Clinton bombed Bosnia/Serbia without UN aproval. What did Bosnia ever do to us? How were they a threat to us? (500-2000 civilians killed; Serbia claimed 3,000 civilians dead). http://www.fff.org/freedom/0101e.asp

Kennedy took us into Vietnam without UN approval. What did they ever do to us? How were they a threat to us? (58,191 US Dead, officially more than 2,200 Missing in Action).


Truman took us into Korea. Why? What did they ever do to us? How were they a threat to us? (33,741 US Dead, 4,820 US Missing in Action).

Sadly, it seems that Democrats have been war mongers far worse than Bush could ever dream of. If Bush is tried for war crimes then so should Clinton, Kennedy, and Truman. What say you? How were the Democrat wars any different?

"these people have committed an act of war, and all he wants to do is talk. Its time to speak with power and the might of a first rate country rather than wishy-washy diplomatic compromise."

"I think Carter is too slack. The first week it happened he should have put pressure on the Iranians."

"It turned out unfortunately sad and tragic, but I am proud that it was at least attempted. All those who are trying to make the President look like a fool because of this failure, would have been the first to jump on the band wagon and call him a hero had it been a success."

"People have been criticizing Carter for doing nothing, but now when he does, and it doesn't work, he's severely criticized."

"American's know that our self-respect and safety are most important, and sometimes, we have to turn the other cheek, but never when it causes American lives to be put in jeopardy!"

Any of this sound familiar??

I've read a lot of the answers here, and you say Mexicans should stay in their own country and make it better.

I'm in Mexico, and with no intentions of going to the U.S. to live. I work full time here, I have a baby, I'm an honest and good citizen with a normal life. I need to work to support my kid. I agree that the government is SO corrupt here, so what do you suggest we do to change it? Maybe we need a second revolution, but just like me, there are millions of good and honest citizens, that don't want to die trying to change an entire corrupt system (which wouldn't change anyway), we'd rather live than die knowing that nothing will change.

So besides a revolution, what do you suggest to the mexicans staying in Mexico, to do?

Note: I don't agree nor support illegal immigration, but I also don't agree nor support racism. I do support human rights.

Please reasonable, non hatred answers.

Was this guard out of line. I was in the hospital with a lung infection, I asked my doctor if I could visit another floor. Since he wanted me to walk around he said ok. I went to the cafeteria and bought a cookie, there was a security guard in there and she came up to me, attracting unwanted attention, and started questioning me. I told her what room I was in, what my orders were and then asked her if I was in jail? She came to the room to "check" on me. I was very angry, would you be?

40 million people are now free of the fascist regime of Saddam, yet liberals are crying about 'illegal war' and get angry while pointing out more than 2000 deaths of US soldiers.

Abortion is the systematic murder of the unborn life. Abortion has probably killed more life than the Nazis ever did, so why do liberals try to claim the moral high ground when they support this holocaustic abortion stuff?

Remember: a womans right to choose is not superior than that of a baby's right to live.
Unborn baby is INSIDE a woman's body, but not PART OF. This is important because a woman can decide over her own body.

Absolutely. Here's the proof:
While Bush scores low on popularity polls in Europe, Schuessel rose to his defense, which seemed to catch the American president by surprise.

"I think it's grotesque to say that America is a threat to the peace in the world compared with North Korea, Iran, a lot of countries," Schuessel said, adding that it was Bush who raised Guantanamo and other thorny issues.

"He came up, and he said, `Look, this is my problem. This is where we are,'" Schuessel said. "And I think we should be fair from the other side of the Atlantic. We should understand what Sept. 11 meant to the American people."



About 1,200 students chanting "Bush Go Home!" rallied at a train station to protest his visit to the capital, where 1,000 police officers were assigned solely to deal with demonstrators. Another 2,000 officers patrolled the city.

Leading the students was U.S. "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq and energized the anti-war movement last sum

In Marbury v. Madison, 1803, the judiciary was given the power of judicial review. It seems as if this infringes upon the powers of the legislature, because striking down a law is very similar, and perhaps even equatable, with making a law. This, then, seems to throw off the carefully constructed balance of powers between the three branches, making the judiciary much more influencial than it was originially intended. Is this power actually constitutional?

Israel and USA have human rights records that are infinitely better than those of China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia (or any other islamic state)?

Why all that concern for the socalled 'Palestineans', who have far less legitimate claim to a state of their own than the Tibetans, Kurds or even the Israelis themselves do. After all, Palestine (pre 1948) was not a state for the people we now refer to as 'Palestineans' but it was a British protectorate and before that an Ottoman province.

Will a revolution need to occur (again) so that we will have a government that is accountable to its people? "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Time to get rid of the losers!

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

It's no secret that I am anti illegal immigration. I still hold to this belief.

I am getting a bit p*ssed off at individuals in this forum who bash all Mexicans.

Everyday, I deal with the military and, in case you do not know, Mexicans and Blacks make up a huge part of our military. They are going to Iraq risking their lives which needs to be acknowledged.

Please stop bashing all Mexicans and focus on the problems that illegal immigration of ALL races are causing. Thank you.
