I am a rich Republican homemaker - that's my excuse.
Are you liberals all on government handouts for drug abuse, and that's why you can stay home during the work day? Just wondering...

The day every single person in America stops questioning our Government is the day we turn from a Democratic Republic to a Totalitarian Dictatorship. If I am considered UnAmerican for questioning the way the President or Govt. are running the country, then I am UnAmerican. If not supporting every decision that the President or the Govt. make is UnAmerican then I am UnAmerican. Think of America as a family, when a family member disagrees with the family, does that mean he hates the family?

My husband and I got custody of his 3 children over a year ago because the childrens mother decided to enter into relationship with an individual who had been convicted of child abuse before. My husband is in the military and we recently got orders to move to Japan. Due to this move can the children be removed and placed back into the custody of their mother? In Georgia where this is taking place, the move is considered a "material change in circumstance" to warrant a custody hearing again. Can they take them away and remove them from us and their 1/2 brother, due to my husband following his orders. Is there any protection for military members who have custody and have to PCS? Please help, losing my mind and maybe my children.

I like Colin Powell as he seems to be the one that makes sense of everything and he is a great public speaker.

They are SO against EVERYTHING the President is doing. They are blind to what is needed to fight the war on terror simply because George Bush wants and needs to do it. I wish they sould stop being so political and support the United States of America!

People think that the British Police are not armed. Well its a misconception. There are a number of forces e.g The Ministry Of Defence Police (a civilian force, not military), UK Civil Nuclear Police, Police Service Of Northern Ireland, are armed. The Anti Terrorist, Flying Squad, Special Branch, Diplomatic Protection, Royal Protection squad are all armed. All County Police forces have round the clock Armed Response Units & also have specialist SWAT -like teams. (e.g CO19 in London Met police)
Why don't the Government just own up to this fact ? We are the only country in Europe not to 'officially' have an armed police service, why clutch onto false past romantic visions ?

Is Irans ultimate goal to bankrupt western nations by controlling the price of oil worldwide. When oil prices hit levels that western civilizations can no longer tolerate..will there be civil strife..government de-stabilization..perhaps even civil unrest. Will these events lead to Irans rise as the next Super Power..a Re born Persian Empire? What can be done to reverse the events that seem to be playing out in favor of Irans ultimate Goal? Should the U.S. engage the Arab oil producing nations to unite against the growing threat of Iranian domination in the Mid East. Shouldn't The U.S. convince the Arabs that it is more their fight than ours?

It really bothers me that so many troops are: fighting for nothing, dieing for nothing, getting seriously injured for nothing, being psychologically traumatized for nothing, and being seperated from your loved ones for nothing over the war in Iraq.We are losing human and monetary resources at a tremendous rate and the situation in Iraq is not improving. We build a bridge or a school one day and it is bombed a week later. Some Iraqis want us there, the great majority don't. It appears that the only people who are benefiting from the war are Contracted civilians who get paid up to 6 times what you make and you are the ones in harms way. The other ones who are benefitting are the Bush administration and his posse getting kickbacks from the Civilian contracted companies. Military members have no right to question authority. You are given orders and you follow them. The military spreads all kinds of propoganda to make you feel like you are fighting for a legitimate reason.God bless you
