I want to know because when I see the news I see all our problems (like illegal immigration and hurricane recovery) on shows like The O'Riely Factor, Scarborough Country, The Situtation, and Hannity and Colmes, I think that other countries look at us and laugh. It makes us seem so stupid and far behind. I also see updates about stuff like the war and trying to make peace in the Middle East.

Despite the Huge Budget Deficits, the Wire Tapping, a War managed terribly, and many other things, a lot of people still support Bush. Can you think of ANYTHING he could do that would prevent these people from supporting him?

What do think of Israel killing innocent Lebanese people over a few soldiers when US soldiers kill Iraq civilians and get court hearings? The US had two huge buildings flown into including the pentagon not to mention all the people killed.

The reason we cannot win a war in Iraq is that the people there, fellow countrymen, can not even get along. They are sliced into religious sects with independent ideas about how THEY want to run the country. And being zealots they don't wish to share power, they want to rule THEIR country. Whereas here, in the USA we have a tolerance for varying religions. I'm a Christian, but when I watch Big Brother 7 I root for Kaysar, an admitted Muslim, because I like him and his personality. I could give a crap that he is a Muslim. I also like Macellas who is both black and gay, and I am neither, but I think he's a funny guy. But I greaw up in a society where everybody is as close to equal as it seems to get on this planet.
Yet our friends in Iraq are the ones that were educated in the west, and want some prosperity, but those who deem to fight the future are those who have never known freedom to think for themselves and thrive on hatred fed to them by their religious leaders. Responses please.

If you think a fetus is not a human being, read this. Were you not a fetus? Are you not a human? Killing a fetus, even if you believe it is not a human, you are distroying the chance it will ever become one. God says in Psalms, "I knew you in your mother's womb." How then can a fetus be just a blob of flesh? I ask you to make all the effort to stop killing my generation and stop voting for the ones who want murder as legal.

A few questions:

Democracy in Iraq is worth how many American lives?
2,500? 5,000? 10,000? 100,000?

Is it our responsibility to bring them to civilization
OR
Is our responsibility to protect ourselves, neutralize the threat and get out?

After our job is done, will they be able to hang on to civilization without us or will they revert back to civil war / dictatorships?

Was life in Iran better under the Shah or Khomeni et al.?

Is this democracy project keeping us from imposing enough of a threat towards Iran?

Kidnappings and targetted murders as revenge and moreso as preemptive measures and on presumptions were hitherto seen part of israeli methodology while tactical slackness an Arab one.Sovereignty of muslims nations has been outraged by America and Israel and for that matter the cirumstances and posturings of the two countries is making muslim nations threatened without application of mind.Who has given them the authority to decide the fate and security and what is propriety for the muslim nations.Truth is always same.
