I've been pondering this for a while, this question isn't just for white people. If anybody is offended by this question, it wasn't my intention to offend you at all. Please people, tell the truth.

Is it ethical to produce arms for sale? World over all the low intensity wars, militancies are supplied with arms by those who have financial abilty to provide them. They do this based on political and economic speculation. The result is that wars continue....

1) To provide market for weapons that are produced.
2) Are based on calculated economic and political speculation of large corporate and national interests.

In Kashmir a decade and a half before the most commonly known small arm was a kitchen knife and violence was virtually unknown. Out of the blue, huge consignments of sophesticated arms that local people just cannot afford became easily available and fascinated the young. This resulted in large scale devastation with 80,000 dead and roughly 10,000 missing.

Why do we allow commerical arms manufacture and sale?
Is it ethical to have such an industry. If war is legitimate only on the premise that it is to bring about peace, then how ethical is all this?

I believe Since the Executive branch has responsibility for the State Department the president sees that the officers carry out it's duties. The Duties are not clearly defined by the framers, but a citizen does not lose his/her citizenship and once in harms way, the government must protect those individuals.

The cost and billing of these people is another subject altogether. I simply want to know can one find this aas a responsibility in the constitution?

If that is so then why are'nt our militaries taking out the terrorist organizations here in the U.S.? When you here on the news that we are aware of their existance hear in the U.S. then surely they know where they're at. are we allowing them to build caches of weapons up here like they do everywhere else?

The United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC) includes the following entry on its website (accessed 2/22/06):

"The most recent configuration in the evolution of voting systems are known as direct recording electronic, or DRE's. They are an electronic implementation of the old mechanical lever systems. As with the lever machines, there is no ballot; the possible choices are visible to the voter on the front of the machine. The voter directly enters choices into electronic storage with the use of a touch-screen, push-buttons, or similar device. An alphabetic keyboard is often provided with the entry device to allow for the possibility of write-in votes. The voter's choices are stored in these machines via a memory cartridge, diskette or smart-card and added to the choices of all other voters."

our present government and their tampering with the Constitution really started us on the path to a Christian theocracy. But, and it's a big BUT, every Christian church would have to totally surrender all its tax exemptions on property, businesses, corporations, trusts, whee, market chains, pharmacies. The whole Maryann! What a boon, make a big chip in our horrendous deficit. You see the profits woukd rightly belong to the Christian Government! Think it would work?

I don't see anything wrong with being against the USA. I believe we have a poor foreign policy and that will bring terrorism to the USA. We are the bully of the world and I for one am against the USA. I will soon tear up my DD Form 214 in front of the Cameras for all to see. Then I will letter the ground and step on my torn worthless discharge papers. Then I will help get the troops home.

I have yet to find a single jew that has been critical of their government killing innocent civilians and UN observers indescriminately.

All I hear is about how they were victims of genocide and blah blah blah... that was over 60 years ago, get over it! You jews have killed more innocent people since then. All the wars were started when YOU invaded your neighbors! So don't give me that crap about how you're defending yourselves!

I am so sick of you brainwashed jews who blindly follow whatever your government does. You morons sound just like the republicans of this country.

Unlike you morons, I don't blindly support my government. I disagree with DUMBYA's invasion of Iraq. Why? Because I can think for myself, not blindly follow like jew-sheep.

BAGHDAD, July 29 — The tours of 4,000 American soldiers who had been scheduled to leave Iraq in the coming weeks have been extended for up to four months, signaling that there would almost certainly be no significant troop pullout before the year’s end. Military officials and analysts said this will end up like loser Vietnam because our troops are killed for nothing. We are losing the war and the everyday American is so stupid they don't even know it. The USA will go down in shame.

The Middle EastThe extension is part of the new security plan that President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki announced last week in Washington. The plan entails sending thousands of American fools and Iraqi troops to the capital from elsewhere in Iraq to bolster the forces here, however, it really won't help because the USA military is getting a butt beating everyday.
