are we involved in aggression? Wouldn't war technically be defined as a situation in which we were attacked by another country (not a small group of terrorists) or a situation in which we had declared war on another country?
It seems to me that the definition of war has relaxed enough to justify any kind of aggression we wish to take in the future. If we decide we don't like something, why not just invade any country and take some "preventative action" to promote our own interests? It's some kind of "fits all" magical pretext. How can any other country in the world respect us or trust us if we continue to act in this way?

Ok, so this red state/blue state thing has gone too far. NPR used the term "red state" to describe Utah! Yes, I know it was 74% Republican in the 2004 election, but when did the GOP adopt red as it's "colors?" I don't recall the Democrats ever waving blue flags at a rally. Aren't most Americans supposed to be "purple?" Look, anyone who pulls a politcal party's line (ANY political part) just because it's the party they belong to is doing the whole country a disservice. It's the duty of every citizen to access each issue individually and choose accordingly. It's ok to want our troops to come back home AND make sure we leave a better situation then what we came into. I'm sure there are people out there who are for prayer in school, but also want to see stem cell research expanded.

So here's my question: Why has the middle ground dissapeared? Can't somebody be a fiscal conservative AND a social liberal? Where have the Moderates gone?

This is not an anti-Republican post. GW quit being a real Republican years ago.

This is just a reminder that some people will sell their soul to the devil for wealth and the rest of us pay for their doing so.

With these people it isn't about democracy or spreading democracy. It's all about wealth.

Did they try the old saw that "If you aren't doing anything illegal, then you have nothing to worry about our eavesdropping."?

Where have I heard that line of reasoning before? Somehow it all seems familiar.

Is anyone else tired of hearing this same phrase repeated over and over again? Or is it true that democrats have no solutions?

We know that terrorists were granted amnesty under the 1986 program, something that should shock and anger all Americans. We also know that all 19 hijackers from September 11 took advantage of our legal system, staying here on expired or fraudulent visas to wage their war of terror. Of course, as the wife of an airline pilot, September 11 hit our family in a very personal way. I was amazed that on September 12, our borders were not secure, and here we are 5 years later with borders so porous that we now have the huge problem of 12-20 million illegal aliens in our country, many of whom came in since that fateful and dreadful day….not to mention the half a million known criminals already in this country, illegal aliens whose wherabouts, are not surprisingly, unknown. How can this be happening?

I am wondering how can people that don't have a right to be in this country can get jobs ( and have no social security numbers), but me a convicted felon with a pettycharge gets turned away from jobs that I am qualified for everyday. I don't want to play the role of "THE ANGRY BLACK MAN", because I'm not but my ancestors help build this country and I feel like we should have rights to jobs before illegal immigrants, regardless of criminal records(excluding vilont crimes and thefts). Am I wrong for felling this way?

I cannot think of one thing that he has done that was right for this country. From stealing the first election to spending money like there is no tommorow, and everything in between. Best Slam of Bush gets the 10 points.

Today's News illustrated that Iraq is at the brink of a Civil War. Pentagon also today expressed gloomy report to congress about Iraq. Our troops facing even more challenges and the situation is getting worst. I really wonder if Bush would have invaded Iraq, if he had known that a civil war would break out over there placing our troops in jeopardy! I personnaly don't see invading Iraq as it is the real issue. The main problem in my opinion is that Bush and Congress did not study, analyse or foresee the unfortunate consequences in Iraq. Pushing for the invasion without anticipating "Murphy's Law" made us pay a huge unnecessary bad price. What do you think as Americans?
