So if Bush had stopped 9/11, would that have meant that it would have actually been clinton stopping 9/11 or is he only to blame is it happened and would have got no credit had it not happened?

Also, how long does the old Administration have to be out of power before we can stop blaming them for current events?

Also, republicans say that it is clinton's fault that 9/11 happened, since he left office eight months earlier. If that is true, then is it not also true that the first World Trad Center attack, which occured on 2/26/93, would have been Papa Bush's fault, since he only left office five weeks earlier?

Also how come Bush never caught Bin Laden?

Also, how is bush better at protecting us aganist terrorism than clinton, if over 3000 Americans died in terrorist attacks under Bush and about 150 died under clinton?

Police followed me within 30 seconds of leaving parking space in front of a bar at 2:10am. I was pulled oevr within another minute with the officer claiming my reverse lights came on...I was driving straight at about 25mph and if I was in reverse then the tires would have locked up and the cop would have ran into me. Is this probable cause to pull somebody over under suspicion of driving under the influence? I was not driving erraticly, speeding or anything like that.

OK, I want to move to England when I graduate from High School. I want to become a citizen. But how would I do this, America sucks and I want to get out of here! I have been to London once in my life, and I'm going again next summer. I loved it, it was beautiful, and everyone was extremely nice. I can't wait to go back. But the third time I go back, I want to stay for good. How do I do this???

if they are the biggest drug consumers of the world. Its a fact that 50% of illegal drugs in the world are consumed here in America, which the majority MAY have came here from Mexico. So, my point and my question is, if you have consumed an illegal drug in this country before, doesnt that put you at guilt for drugs, and illegal aliens coming easily through the border?

If there were no profit motive, would there even be an immigration problem?

Do you differentiate between state and federal elections, are the relevant laws and practices being followed in your area? What could be some pros/cons of letting foreigners vote in a US election?

When we go somewhere, like to another friend's, I'm always driving cuz his car is on the fritz. Sometimes, he'll pull out a bag of pot when we get wherever we're going. I don't smoke pot, but that's not the point. If I get pulled over by the cops for whatever reason and for whatever reason they get just cause to search our person, if they find a bag of pot on him, will I get charges against me too? I wouldn't be asking but he isn't honest about having it on him in my truck when we're going somewhere. I totally don't want drug charges put on me if I had nothing to do w/ it, especially since I never know if he has anything on him or not. I'm asking now cuz he wants me to drive him to Chicago tomorrow (we live in the suburbs) and some Chicago cops are pretty ruthless. Others will take the pot and tell you to get the hell out of town. Help.

OK, I want to move to England and be a lawyer when I graduate, but I'm not totally sure just how the Uk court system works. Could someone give me an explanation, and give me a rough idea of how much they get paid. And does the Royal Family have a lawyer???

I can see the positive & negative sides of this issue - if health care is under Federal control then everyone could get help for free (paid for by tax dollars - not truly free) regardless of race, income level, health problem, insurance, etc. Whether you are homeless or Bill Gates your health care would be free! The down side would be that doctor's salaries would be regulated and they may not want to work as hard or see as many patients since they'll get paid the same no matter how much they work each day. So what do you all think? For or against?

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but I do really feel that he doesn't look in control as a prime minister. What do you feel? Tell frankly.

Ok, I respect your opinion if you are against stem-cell research, but would you be willing to sign a contract, list, petion-- whatever, saying that when a cure is found for a disease or impediment using stem-cell research, you forfeit the right for you and your children to take advantage of the medicine or treatment?
Would you feel different about stem-cell research if you or one of your loved ones had an incurable disease?
I
kind of have the feeling that if stem-cell research proved to find a treatment for a disease, the Bible-toting conservatives would be first in line with the hands out. They love saying how their morality is so wonderful, yet I don't know what 'moral' person would not be willing to potentially save millions of lives, yet feel free to fight for gun laws and completley support the innocent killing of thousands of people in Iraq.
It all seems like one big contridiction to me. I don't see how Christian morals fit in to our government in the slightest. It's crazy!

A frequent point of debate is the hiring of illegal workers. Even Microsoft was clamoring for visa restriction easements in order to augment their workforce. As we 'globalize', what's your view on the future?

Personally, I think that they're too rigid. A party tends to have a core set of beliefs that you can either take or leave. When you vote for a Democratic candidate, they're more likely to vote along party lines instead of actually what they believe is correct. People often believe in a mix of the ideologies offered by the party system, but we can't vote for the combination of ideals we believe in. If we could vote for individuals instead of party members, we would be able to select an individual who matches more of our beliefs.
