An Iraqi veteran was asked on Hardball about Iraq if it was like Vietnam, and he said, "No, we are chasing the ghosts of Vietnam."
What he means is that the Iraq War is being wrongly compared to Vietnam ; yet, when he was discussing it with Chris Matthews, everything he said was the same things I, and other Vietnam vets, were saying about Vietnam.
He, and I'm paraphrasing now, said they couldn't recognize, effectively, who their enemy was because anyone could be. He said a little kid could be greeting you, and you didn't know if he had a frag or what in their hand. He went on to say the people back home didn't understand the war. He stated the good news about the war didn't reach America...
These were all things that were being said when I was in Vietnam thirty-five years ago.
Are we living in denial about what's happening in Iraq? Why did this man write a book that belied what he prefaced his interview on--that Iraq was not like Vietnam, yet what he said was?

Every office in charge of protecting against terrorism has tracked peaceful demonstrations staged by political and antiwar groups, a practice that senior law enforcement officials say is an abuse of civil liberties.
What are they afraid of?

at least for now: Do people understand that the need for immigration reform is a move to benefit both our country, and other countries, including Mexico? That having an honest process for people living and working in different places is better than sliding under the door?

It is not legitimate to cut off 750,000 people from electricity.
It is not legitimate to call on 20,000 people to run from their homes and turn their towns into ghost towns.
It is not legitimate to penetrate Syria's airspace.
It is not legitimate to kidnap half a government and a quarter of a parliament.
Will the blackout of Gaza bring down the Hamas government or cause the population to rally around it?
And even if the Hamas government falls, as Washington wants, what will happen on the day after?
These are questions for which nobody has any real answers. As usual here: Quiet, we're shooting. But this time they are not only shooting. Israelis are bombing and shelling, darkening and destroying, imposing a siege and kidnapping like the worst of terrorists and nobody breaks the silence to ask, what the hell for, and according to what right?
They have no right. Tell your politicians so. Save some people from the Nazi-like tactics going on in Palestine as we sit.

Rudy Gulliani had the rubble from the Towers quickly shipped to China to be melted, even though it is illegal to destroy rubble from an engineering failure or a crime scene. You have to investigate precisely what caused the failures so that you can build safer buildings in the future. Also why no NTSB investigation, that's a first. Thermite has been found in some rubble that was passed up after the demolition, does that say anything or am I just confused alone?

Bernard Kerik has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from contractors and failing to report kickback income. As you will remember, in 2004, Bernard Kerik was George Bush's first choice to be the Homeland Security Director.
Homeland Security director is a cabinet-level position in charge of some of the most sensitive and important work in the US government. Do you think that Bush used good judgement when tapped this criminal for such an important job?

I'm a student have been working since last December to March for a small company as part-time(no OPT),then it went bad business so had to leave there thought it's still running somehow. I didn't get pay for December until end of March and got paid of month of January at the beginning of April.
The boss(Mr.A ) talked to one of small company that's been a partnership with him to give me a position at there so I got an interview and now I'm working at the company that was introduced from him.
I've always asked him politely about unpaid pay but since May,he had answered only once said help is on a way then nothing else and seems like he will shirk the 2 month pay until I give up.
However,I'm still keep working some duty for Mr.A's at new company so I got frustrated and told him today that if I don't get paid,I'll stop all duty connected with him,then he got mad "Who introduced the job to you?!Who do you think you are?!You'll be fired!"...If I worked illegally,can't I sue anything?

We Americans are very good and working for Democracy and we want liberty for people who they are living in Muslim countries. People in such countries are Muslims and they need western democracy, which we think is right for them because in our system we introduces fine banking system which is based on interest and usury, although this kind of banking was rejected by all Prophets (peace be upon all of them) including Jesus (peace be upon Him), but as every one know, we are secular state which does not allow God either in our banking system nor in our daily lives, God should live in Church. Second thing which I want is liberty for Muslims, So we want their women naked by the name of liberty even on TV as we do with our women, we think their women is not happy, so we try our best to reach in their homes through our satanic media, which tells them real meaning of liberty. We don’t want rapist to be punished in Islamic way, this is the reason our society has a big amount of rapists and one can see some in Iraq too. We are controlled by sex and we want them to do same. We want Muslims to eat pork and drink liqueur as it was prohibited by Jesus (peace be upon Him) too. We have very fine media which works 24 hours a day to protect our system and to prove them terrorists, of course we also do home work to divide Muslims, if we don’t do all of this then who will fight for us in their countries?

Question: How much is an Iraqi life worth? Answer: A lot less than an American or British life, according to the amount of compensation paid to the relatives of victims.
During the siege of Fallujah, where US soldiers killed 18 people and wounded 78 during an April 2004 firefight, the American military commander in the area paid $1,500 for each fatality and $500 for each injury.
Last year a Seattle woman was awarded $45,000 for the wrongful death of her cat.

I asked a question and got a few sweet messages for people in the military. I know a few people in the service and I'd like everyone to spread their thanks to them so I can email this page to them (or at least print it and send it to them)
My message to them: I want to thank you for all you have done for us!! I don't have the courage to do what you have done! Thank you for picking up where I have slacked! Thanks to all of the military! Past, Present, and Future!
Again I can't say it enough thank you and god bless each and every one of you!!

One of the effects of nationalist thinking is a loss of a sense of proportion. The killing of 2,300 people at Pearl Harbor becomes the justification for killing 240,000 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The killing of 3,000 people on Sept. 11 becomes the justification for killing tens of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We need to refute the idea that our nation is different from, morally superior to, the other imperial powers of world history.
We need to assert our allegiance to the human race, and not to any one nation.
Remember this on the 4th of July.
