I am not anti oil, anti company profits, or an extreme tree hugger, but I think countries that support terrorism probably make $0.25 (this is a guess) for every gallon of gas or home heating oil we use.

Also wouldn't the US government be better served in this battle by forcing the price of oil down to lower prices than to build jets and bombs? (Also, I am more hawkish than doveish)

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade but only if it's coupled with a cut in future inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates, congressional aides said Friday."

Sure, we'll let the working-class Americans make a few more bucks at their job if you give rich people more money? Sounds rather shady to me.

We've been together for quite a while now, he walked here a few years ago, I'm divorcing my husband now because I love him, we want to get married and have a family. If we apply for marriage with him here can he get deported? What steps do we have to take for us to get married? I heard it doesn't matter if we have a child together. I have a nine month old daughter with my ex husband now, does that effect anything? Anyone who has any information please help, I'm so worried I don't know what I'd do without him...

what if another country bagan bomb airports and power supply facilities accidentally killing civilians in the US trying to clean out a terrorist org. here like uh...THE KKK! for example...that be interesting...would you support it? and how could they distinguish a kkk member from an average American? Its just a scenario so dont think im anti American as a matter a fact im a soldier and we had a really hard time ID'ing the enemy overseas we couldnt take chances so yes some innocent people died. But is it worth it? We'd make a huge move forward and it seemed like terrorist doubled. NOw troops are having to stay longer. I was PRO WAR before i went overseas...you guys they are recruiting more terrorist because they actually think we are the terrorist the more innocent people die. I love America I love it enough to struggle hard to try to think of an alternatives. Men die so that we can eliminate terror and some US citizens use it as a political campaign to justify their vote. Its sad.

the gop continues to allow only republicans go to there campaign fundraisers, events, and town hall meeting. are they afraid of getting tough questions from democrats, i forgot they want to keep spreading lies to there crowds. democrats on the other hand allow anyone to come to any speech, or event. i have even seen hecklers and rude conservatives at democrat functions.

a democrat will get all bent out of shape when a republican does "X" and not say a word when another democrat does it, and then the republicans will do the same thing.....
i mean each group will completely ignore it when their party screws up, but when the other party does the same exact thing they get all flipped out.

The Iraqi War is the best thing the Democrats have going for them. The public is slowly tiring of our children dying and the incredibly massive debt that comes therewith. The longer we are in Iraq, the more the military and their families will come to distrust and maybe even despise the Republicans. The longer our children are dying defending Bush’s Iraqi war, the more D’s will be elected. So should the D’s actually be campaigning to “Cut and Run” or “Retreat and Defeat?” And even more problematic, how can they stay "on the right side" of the issue without campaigning to get out!?

In a way, it’s a classical Catch-22. The day we leave Iraq, the D’s lose their best issue. So why not let it drag on for as long as possible, letting Bush, Dick, Condi, and Rummy twist in the wind? This is a highly complex question. What do you think?

The Republicans will only raise the Minimum Wage IF they get to cut the estate tax. Whereas they have no problem raising their own wages.

for peace you need both antagonists to agree to peace, to keep war going you ask one side to give up something you know their not going to give up.
I keep hearing our politians say Hezbolah must disarm, is that the demand the politians know they won't do?

pedophiles? Something needs to be done. There's too many of them around and the justice system doesn't always take care of them. They make me sick and I can tell that there are a lot of them lurking around on this site.

many soldiers! Young soldiers are out there to fight Hezbollah, do you really think they want to be there? No, think about it! I wouldn’t want to die young! But the job must be done. Unfortunately, This is a war and innocent people die from both sides; do not forget that the Hezbollah started the all thing; they force Israel to come to this. You cannot expect Israel to sit back and not do anything. I believe we set back for many years, and this is why it came to where we are today. For your information that is not the first time that Hezbollah is kidnapping soldiers, Killing innocent people, Rockets, missile (whatever you want to call it) from the North to the South, and who knows if may be in the center of Israel (lets hope not). Suicide bomb (explosion), and much much, more. Also, young children are out there throwing big rocks on our Israeli soldiers at the Israeli border. They Israeli soldiers can't do anything, because the world is always on our neck. How would you feel? There is a much different then putting on your signature on a rocket then throwing rocks over soldiers, not that I am proud of this. So don’t give me this link of web site and show me what we have done to you guys in 12 days of a war, because I can certainly send you a link back to see what has been going on here in Israel for the last 10 years or more
Few years ago the Hizbullah Kidnapped 3 Israeli soldiers. The UN has known about it and hasn’t done anything about it!! Exactly they were helping the Hizbullah. So, the Israeli government negotiated with the Hizbullh.

We gave back to the Hizbullh many prisoners (terrorists) with no choice since we wanted back out Israeli soldiers. However, we got back 3 dead soldiers!!!! How vicious is that.

Well, now that you see a drop of the Israeli sides I hope you can understand why we can’t just sit back and let terrorists control Israel. This is very hard on the Israeli nation; it is no fun to sit in shelter not even for a one-day or an hour. The Israeli people are definitely not delighted to see innocent people die from both sides. However, over the years Israel has lost many, many innocent people. (Babies, children, adult, and older people died from terrorist attack). We love Israel, and we want to live here in peace (state of not being at war; silence, quietness). So, we gave and we gave and they only thing that we got from them is a slap in our face. It hurts! Now, the Israeli government must do whatever it takes to protect the people in Israel.

So don’t give me that foolishness of the UN cause everyone knows who is the real UN people!!

I am also a Canadian, and I have many friends all over the world, Arabs friends, Jews and Christian.

I am looking for the peace as much as any Israeli and Lebanese people. So I do understand the other side. However, if you can’t understand the Israeli side please do not reply back to me, as I have no respect to you.

Excuse us if we are killing innocent people, after all they made the first move to Israel (bad move) and they sympathize with their own LEADER! How come the government let Hozballa enter the Lebanon country? Why the nation is helping the Hozballa? If anyone allows terrorists to operate within their country they can expect a war - surely?
