I dont mean serious criminals, I mean just common people who might make a mistake. Do you think our little lives mean anything to them?

In 1969 I was told by my Government we will win in Vietnam and we will taste victory. Well We ran like scared dogs in April of 1975 so why did the USA Government tell me we would win? I had to eat crow and suck shame.

hey, nuking Japan worked to calm down the japanese and make them see democracy as a good altenative, maybe if we nuke key cities in the middle east it will probably make the arabs see some sense, what do you think?

Over $100 billion in aid
Billions more in free military equipment
About 33 UN vetoes shielding Israel from criticism
Total media support in the US
Hundreds of Israeli colony-style settlements ignored
Thousands of Palestinian homes bulldozed ignored
Uprooted Palestinian farms ignored
Lebanese and Palestinian water diverted to Israel ignored
Massacre of Lebanese civilians ignored
Total Lebanese destruction supported
Total congressional support

Why in the world would the US support Israel so much when they have been the aggressor, occupier, and murderers of the middle-east?

Considering the events of the past 60 years is there anyone who would question our strategy during the hostile years leading up to the declaration of war against our current allies Germany and Japan???

How interesting is the fact that our most hostile enemies could have been destroyed had we removed ourselves from the conflict? Who are our hostile enemies? (Russia and China)

even people who wanted disarming hezbollah are now supporting it. at the same time, hate towards the US is growing evermore due to its support to israel. israel is targeting civilians and the US is publicly supplying them with the latest weapons at the same time.
i honestly cant figure out the point of view of the US administration. they are supposed to fight terrorism but they are puting themselves more at risk of attacks due to their actions.
cant the great american people figure this out and do something about it? i know a lot of them are misinformed and a lot dont care, but this is too obvious and is affecting their security.

Polls say that most Americans don't think things are going well in Iraq. In a CNN survey released on Friday, 36 percent approved of Bush's management of the war and 62 percent disapproved of the war.

More than 2,588 U.S. troops have died in a conflict that has cost more than $300 billion since the March, 2003, U.S.-led invasion. Because of the sectarian violence, the Pentagon is boosting U.S. forces in Baghdad by about 5,000 and earlier hopes for a big troop cut in coming months have faded. As most people in the military now know the war is not as easy as some believed 3 years ago. Many fear this will end up like another Vietnam and it now looks as if it is going that way. It looks like the Republicans will go down in defeat this Nov.

Many criminalls will have thier attorney say to the prosecutor that the defandant has a disease ,addction" alcholism" to get out of going to prison or jail . They will ask and often get to go to a 28 day rehab . Then probation with AA meetings .
Often they are repeat offnders with serious records. yet we as a society let them off with rehab and meetings which the are often alrealy found their victim through !
Yet a person who is truely mentally ill often end up in prison where the quickly become victims of some of societies most evil.
We claim not to like the insanity defense in fact outside of the disease of substance abuse and its growing spin offs insanitiy defence of any type are succesfull 1% of the time

Why then do we let sane criminals off with rehab and AA to reoffend ? AA/NA claims all addicts are insane yet they are well aware that they are breaking law , fail to to fit medical or legal insantiy burden is this justice or imoral ?

Drugs are illegal because they are addictive and deadly and they alter a person's mind. Why is smoking legal when cigarettes do the same thing? People who smoke are addicted to it, it is deadly, and they get cranky and cannot function when they don't smoke. It's basically the same thing right? the only difference is there are rich people with influence to keep their cigarette business afloat

No smart @$$ answers please, I would really appreciate people that have actually done alot of research on it themselves.
The way the buildings came down in a controlled demolition manner. And the way so many firefighters that are still alive have reported the explosives in the basements of the buildings and other survivors reports of what they heard and witnessed. I really think that anyone who knows about the "Skull and Bones" group and the fact that the Bush family is long time friends of the Bin Laden family, really knows the truth. Fire away people!!
