It just doesnt make since to me. If we were at war just because of the oil wouldnt gas be a lot cheaper then 3 something a gallon. Plus there are 5 countries that have more oil then Iraq. For instance Canada and Mexico are the top 2. If we were just after oil why wouldnt we just invade these countries.

I think there are to many people that just go with the flow of what other people are saying rather then doing some research or asking american troops that have been over there what they are there for....

Why are there still laws in some states that discriminate against women?

Why are these still allowed?

How does one go about challenging them?

I could give you a list in case anyone doubts but, it is a long list. There's one in SC where a divorced woman must have her ex-husband signoff on a real estate she is selling if she owned it while they were married even if he never paid any of it and his name isn't on the deed. In reverse the male doesn't have to get the ex-wife's approval. The law specifically states only the wife etc

Why is Osama bin Laden lying in a cave preaching, instead of in his grave?

I thought Bush and Co. were going to 'get' the people responsible for 9/11? Maybe he meant he'd " 'get' them new recruits"? Also, don't Bush and Co. care about the people who died on 9/11? If they do, why is the man who caused it still growing his beard?

Legal Beagles: How to trap a Doctor who is manipulating a health ....?

issue to encourage un-needed surgeries and therapy?
I have a Neuro Cargiologist that "apparently " has adjusted my pacemaker to start shocking me in order to scare me into and expensive operation called Ablation.
I have pretty good evidence this is going on and I am working to trap this guy at his game. I had been doing fine up until I saw him and told him so. I felt I was getting better. He told me he doubted it and acted insulted that I wanted to take less drugs and use food supplements to support my therapies. He adjusted my pacemaker at that time but led me to believe he had not. I found this out by speaking with his nurse. Since that visit, 7 days later I started having these horrific shocks from the pacemaker. These "therapy" shocks are very painful. I think this guy is trying to scare me into another operation and into insecurity in order to line his own pocket. If I can prove intentional abuse of this pacemaker system by this doctor how can I put this jerk out of business?

They were called beaner babies when they first hit K Mart, but LULAC issued a law suite against the store for shelving them all though a Mexican firm sold them to K Mart! Store board members decided to call them beany babys.

Is there any doubt Hamas had a hand in the Fox News journalist kidnapping?

From the article is says, "The journalists had been seized in Gaza City on Aug. 14 by a previously unknown group calling itself the Holy Jihad Brigades. However, senior Palestinian security officials said Sunday the name was a front for local militants, and that Palestinian authorities had known the identity of the kidnappers from the start."

Why can't immigrants just behave correctly?

Why can't some immigrants(bc there are some that do behave) behave like normal citizens especially when you're in someone else's country? RESPECT!

I'm Mexican, and i know that you're angry with illegals for stealing, for being stupid, etc.. Please just don't brand all of the mexicans like that. I live in Mexico and I have to stand for Mexico, while many Mexican immigrants are just making us look like the worst human beings in the world.

Why are pro-illegals so quick to accuse racism?

I never said I hated mexicans, africans, asians, etc.. or anything yet in my last question people accused me of racism. What is wrong with people? Because I don't support illegals who are ruining america?

I have no problem with mexicans/south americans getting here legally.

Mexicans need to fix their own nation too. Although slowly mexico is being improved through nafta.
