I've been doing alot of research on handgun calibers and was surprised that the .357 sig gets the most kinetic energy out of all the standard auto calibers (.380, 9mm, .40, .45). I've also heard that quite a few state police agencies in New England have been selecting this caliber for their sidearm (Which I believe is a Sig).
What are the positive and negatives about this caliber? I would think it would be more popular than the .45.

We allready know Iraq is a failure. Poorly concieved, poorly executed and doomed to failure.

It wasn't because many of the American people were anti-war and didn't support the movement to war - with a majority republican congress and their neocon base and the retardation in the White house, the anti-war American people really didn't have much of a choice about whether America is wsting lives and resources in Iraq.

anyway, now that we know Iraq is a waste of time, resource and lives, What are we to do about this?

Most democrats and liberals want to "cut and run" but because we've been entrenched so deeply there...that's not an option.
Sarcastic neocons like to say: "Oh well lets put back Saddam Hussien"... That's obviously not an option either.

So my question to you is WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
What does America do 5 years from now when all the sh!t that has gone on behind the backs of America comes out?
Bush has no idea what to do so don't bother looking to him for answers.

Everytime he opens his mouth,he gives the impression to everyone south of the border that they should send everyone over here,they're begining to think that the US is sanctuary to every unwed mother,every drug dealer and any criminal that wants to come here,Bush will be gone in two years with a handsome government pension,but the taxpayers will be stuck with the bills that illegals are costing us for the rest of our lives

Do you think a Militia could be created that involves all races, sexes and religions as long as you are an american citizen? A militia where all of its members are your next door neihbors, friends and family with the commonality that we all pay taxes, work and protect our families let alone our civil rights. One that can educate children on safety, drug resistance. Train people so if there is a problem in the community people you know and trust will be helping each other. Is this still possible or is all hope gone that we can stick together to protect what should be ours forever, Rights??

Why do they move to America, live in their own little cultures, don't want to work, don't want to interact with anyone else and just live in their little communities, yet they want our rights, of section8 and food stamps? Why are we switching our signs in stores to Spanish also? YOU ARE IN AMERICA! LEARN OUR LANGUAGE OR GET THE HELL OUT!
No I'm not racist. I'm stating my opinion.

"I remember the year I went to camp
I heard about some lady named Selma and some blacks
Somebody put their fingers in the President's ears
It wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's wax
I remember the book depository where they crowned the king of Cuba
Now that's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else
Way down inside me I can feel it coming back

The other day I was in a mall. Being Mexican me and some friends decided to have some fun. We accused a gringa (white girl) working in a department store of calling us illegal beaners and she got fired when we complained. We only did it because of what you gringos write on this site and it was fun watching her cry when she left.

My longterm concern with the rising number of cultureally isolated immigrants is that when the nation next needs its citizens to step up, a terrifying number will not be with us. If relations with Venesuala degraded further, how many of you are certain that all our new and univited latino 'guests' would side with the nation that has given them so much over their socialist chicano brother to the south?
