ignored Al Qaeda and allowed it to become our biggest enemy during his 8 years in office... illusory stock market bubble propped up by internet speculation completely burst... more families having to take 2nd jobs in order to keep up with increased taxes... tried to get Bill Richardson to give Monica Lewinsky a job at the UN so she wouldn't pursue sexual harassment claim... allowed companies like Enron, World Com, Global Crossing, etc to break many laws during the late '90s via lack of SEC oversight... afraid to arrest bin Laden in Sudan due to "lack of evidence".... bombed Iraq on December 16, 1998 because of its WMD... asked Saudi Arabian princes for million dollar contributions to his presidential library instead of asking for wanted suspects in 1996 Khobar Towers bombing... shook down the Chinese for tens of millions of dollars for his 1996 re-election campaign...

A man has backed you down a long dark alley, you cannot escape. He is your wife's(women, imagine a women that is your husbans' ex) ex. He(or she for women) wants to kill you, no matter what. He has a knife in his hand. You have a 9mm in your pocket. What do you do? Would you shoot this person, yes or no. Nothing else. No answers that you would scale a 15 foot wall while this person is only ten feet away.

Does the U.S. really have enough say to tell Israel to stop.

I asked this question already, but i was to vague about it. Anyways, i wanted to know how all types of taxes work? I always hear about people complaining that taxes are too high, whats the problem with taxes? isn't it high because we're in war?

Another question i had was how gas works in America, basically why are we running out of gas and why is the price so high? are there other places to get gas besides Iraq?

What would the anti-war people say about the bombing of Japan during W.W. 2 Hunreds of thousands of civilans died during the fire bombing.

What about the poor German civilans? Should the United States have left them alone too so no civilans are killed.

Maybe there should have been a cease fire after Pearl Harbor, that way no lifes would have been lost and Japan would have rulled Asia. Germany could have signed a cease fire after after taking France.

Civilians die during war.

the following is a link to a yahoo "question" posted yesterday. it is a direct THREAT against my husband.
YES ive reported it. has yahoo done anything? No...and WHY? ive seen some ppl get banned or reported for using the word Hell...or telling someone to "shut up". but THIS takes the cake as far as violence and hatered is concerned!

Nostradamus said that there would be 3 anti-christs. the first being naploean, the second being Hitler, and the third being "Mabus". Could George W. Bush be Mabus? He's trying to take over the world like hitler and napolean but he's doing it in a different way.

Were there instances in the past where, to deter suicide bombers, the policy was for that government to kill the bombers' families? Since suicide bombers often thought their acts would benefit their families, this acted as a good deterrent?

My cousin has lived here for 5 years and meets all the basic requirements in order to apply for a US citizenship. However, he has told me that he needs proof that he has payed his taxes for the last 5 years. And during those 5 years, he didn't work. Is it true that immigration looks at this type of stuff? He has also told me that he needs two of my relatives to cosign for him. Is there anything of tihs sort to deal with during immigration?

If you do not vote or do not know how your reps vote, don't complain. Instead of complaining, be pro active. Email your congressmen and sign up for MegaVote. Both are free and MegaVote will email you on EVERY issue your reps votes on. They even explain what the vote is about. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE.

Israel 's grand design is to occupy the lands from the Nile to the Forat.Their usual tactic is to terrorize civilians to move and clear the lands.There are already 2 million Palestinian refugees living in the worst conditions since 1948

Why does the world express outrage when Israel hits back? Aren't accidental civilian casualties to be expected when Hezbollah shoots rockets from neighborhoods? Why aren't critics of Israel upset at Hezbollah?

Hypothetically, let’s say I’m golfing and I’m in the fairway, someone hits from another direction and hits me and I receive an injury (use your imagination). Can I sue (with a chance of winning) the golf course or the actual golfer themselve? Or is it once I step onto the course I have acknowledged that the course will not be liable for any injury acquired while golfing, same to the golfer who hit me?
