Maybe Saddam knew that he had to rule with an iron fist to keep Iraq from tearing itself apart.

I'm not trying to start an argument of opinions here, I just would like to hear your thoughts. Are we helping, or making the situation worse in Iraq? President Bush says it would be disastrous to leave now. Do you agree?

Religion shouldn't even be an issue, because we do have diversity in this country and how about respect. Honestly, how does a working gay couple hurt Americas financial status? It should be a legal issue and not religious issue, if it's about morals, what about slutty looking clothing that is adverticed and sold all over the country to girls as young as 10, isn't that a moral issue? If the gay couple want a church wedding, then it should be up to the church and them, not the law. As far as a legal wedding not involving the church, it should be just as it is for straight couples, it is not hurting anyone. Isn't the government suppose to look out for the publics best interest, aren't gays part of this group, aren't gays voting citizens.

Watch this then answer:"The Right of the people" (to be shot at as they) "peacefully assemble." (Video)

"Free Speech Zones and rubber bullets today, no speech zones and real bullets tomorrow. You got a problem with that? Too bad b***ch, we're running the show. Now get to work, pay your taxes, and keep your mouth shut."

What if everyone in this country stopped paying all their taxes because they disagreed with how the politicians etc are spending their money ie wars, martial law, violating your civil rights, lawlessness of legislators, the lies etc? Would that affect a change in the direction this country is heading?

RIVERSIDE, New Jersey (Reuters) - Opponents of a local law cracking down on illegal immigrants clashed on Sunday with residents chanting "go home" as both sides proclaimed their loyalty to the United States.

An estimated 300 to 400 people gathered outside the town hall to protest a recently passed ordinance that bans hiring or renting to illegal immigrants, who are accused of overburdening local services such as schools and hospitals without paying taxes.

The protesters, representing the largely Brazilian immigrant community of Riverside, were heckled by about 500 counter-demonstrators kept at bay by police on the other side of the town's main intersection.

As immigration supporters accused the town's council of racism, opponents chanted "USA, USA" and waved placards saying "Scram" and "Stop Illegal Immigration." A passing pickup truck drew loud cheers by flying a Confederate flag with the motto "The South Will Rise Again."

Riverside, with a population of about 8,000, is the latest community to pass local regulations on illegal immigration in the absence of a federal law that would address the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States.

U.S. lawmakers are trying to reconcile a bill in the House of Representatives that emphasizes stronger border controls and stiff penalties, with that of the Senate, which seeks a path to citizenship for eligible immigrants.

A similar law was adopted by the Pennsylvania town of Hazleton in July. Both Hazleton and Riverside, about 20 miles from Philadelphia, are being sued on the grounds that only the federal government has legal authority over immigration.

Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, called the Riverside law "racist." He criticized Mayor Charles Hilton by saying his initiative in passing the law was equivalent to the Confederate flag being flown by the counter-demonstrators.

Across the street, several people held placards with pictures of Rivera, accusing him of racism and saying "Take Your Trash Elsewhere."

Opponents' chants of "go home" were countered by calls of "we are home" from immigrants' supporters. Demonstrators on both sides waved the U.S. flag and claimed their allegiance to the United States.

Larry Mourey, 52, who said he had lived all his life in Riverside, denied there was any racism in his support for the town's ordinance. He said he had no problem with immigrants as long as they were legal but objected to paying taxes to support illegal ones.

Lindsey Sickler, 19, said she supported the ordinance because the illegal immigrants were using local services without paying taxes, and their children are driving down school test scores because they can't speak English.

"If we were in their country and doing the same thing, they would be trying to get us out," she said.

This statement, tuned into a question, was made by a remarkably able future President of France named Segolene Royal. And she is also delightful and good to look at as she talks sense to people.
Quite a different leadership quailty than our current experience in America.

I'm from Iraq. I am an Assyrian Christian. We let the Muslims in our country 1400 years ago and they slowly destroyed it and killed off most of our people. George W. Bush is preventing that from happening to America. That's why I support his actions.

Is Israel threatenig to kill Nasrallah and bombing of Southern Lebanon after cease fire acts of terrorism? Israeli primeminister has taken a vow to kill nasrallah the Hizbollah Leader? I think Israel should be warned by the world community. And if it ever does so It must be attacked and forced to dismantle its nuclear facilities! After killing hundreds of Lebanese and turning thousands homeless Israel has lost its right to kill Nasrallah. Now The father America has objections in the humanitarian works being carried out by Hizbollah and also Irans help to the victims. George Bush seem to have gone insane/maniac.
