Two men lie on the road shortly after they were shot by gunmen in Baghdad July 9, 2006.

Iraq is accelerating toward civil war. Over the weekend and on Monday, July 10, Baghdad witnessed the most savage outbreak of revenge killings to date. Shiite militiamen, who witnesses claimed were members of Muqtada Sadr's Mahdi Army, set up checkpoints in the city's al-Jihad neighborhood, inspected ID cards and killed 42 people they identified as being Sunnis. They also broke into homes and killed their inhabitants. Corpses were found in the street with drill holes and pierced by nails and bolts. What did the USA Militry do?? Nothing!! The Marines were too scared to do anything toward the insurgents.

I am mexican, with european roots, so i don't look that mexican, but i do have a mexican passport. What I hate is that if i have NEVER tried to work ilegally in the US (I wouldn't even want to) everytime I want to go shopping to New York, get a tan in Miami or party in Vegas the immigration authotiries in the airport treat me as if I am some kind of terrorist, drug dealer or I'm planning to work in the US. That treatment to me is not fair since I work in Mexico and I'm going to the US to spend all the money I made in MY country in Your products and YOUR night clubs, i don't care cuz i like the products and love the clubs. But do you think that's fair? Wouldn't you feel that way if mexican authorities treated you like that when you go for a fun vacay in Can Cun??

There are many activist efforts undertaken in the United States, and yet few are able to gain large momentum and inspire and drive change at a grassroots level up. What can be done to inspire people, in their everyday experiences, to mobilize for action (marches, sending money, lobbying Congress, hosting large scale concerts/fundraisers, appearing in major media) in a way that empowers the people involved and creates lasting changes?

When Johnson signed the Civil Right Act into Law he said "With this pen we have lost the Southern Democratic vote for 100 years.

I think it is time for the Red Necks to kiss and make up.

If a muslim british citizen has a caution for possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and one speeding conviction, how easy will it be for that person to visit the USA for holiday.

This person got the conviction because he grabbed a baseball bat to chase away a gang of lads who had commenced a racially motivated attack on on one of his neighbours. He basically was trying to save someone's life in response to cry for help from the mother of a boy who was being beaten up by youths. But by the time he got to the scene the bad lads had escaped and the police caught him at the scene with a bat -hence the caution.

He is otherwise a law abiding citizen who enjoys the Great Outdoors and wants to visit USA for leisure.

But I hear the Americans have recently become DRACONIAN about allowing anyone to enter the States with any tarnish against their records. Is this true?

He has a record for trying to save a life. Will authorities consider situation behind his caution?

Shouldn't they be more concerned over terrorists crossing the border and why this situation has not been rectified almost 5 years after 911?

I don't believe in international law, because there is no international democratic law making body nor is there an international authority charged with enforcement of international law.

Aren't they proud? Don't they do our country proud? Aren't they trying their best to help the country by pointing out all our faults in front of the world, calling our elected officials names (and then hiding under the name "Republican" or "Democrat"), spreading unfounded rumors in the long established principle of "guilty until proven innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt", and printing EVERY bad piece of news they can about our country and its efforts in the name of "keeping the public informed".


This will help us, won't it? They are doing it out of their patriotic duty and the goodness of their hearts.

You believe that's best for us, don't you? Be sure to vote for those who do this, so we can have more. Don't vote for Lieberman, or Rice, or any of those people, because they don't understand world politics like America-Haters do.

I have recently heard some disturbing news that LA Raza and Mencha (Sp) want to forcibly take back the states they believe belong to Mexico. And that they are telling illegals not to assimilate. Is this true?

As far as I'm concerned, these men and women are brave and courageous. I am proud of them and fully support them. I don't agree with the war though - as far as I'm concerned we have no business being there.

Who do you sympathize with, Israel or Palestine? Why? Please list anything about yourself that might make you biased (ex being Jewish), and your nationality.

... when the Nazis on the beach were mowing down the soldiers with machine guns? Should we fortify the border and do that to Mexicans when they try to cross?
