that Liberalism should be abolished and only conservatism be allowed or that Liberalism will fade away? Why do they think it would be better with one party and outlaw the others...isn't that fascist or Stalinistic...or at least unAmerican to support restriction to at least one of the articles of the Bill of Rights?

Because Sunni's hate the Shia's and the Shia's hate the Sunni's and the Sunni's and Shia's hate the Kurds. Under Saddam's iron fist it was repressed. Iraq might have to split into 3 countries. Freedom has nothing to do with the bombings - freedom has allowed the hate to come out without fear of repraisals by Saddam's secret police. Don't blame freedom - blame "history", and they have a very long "history" over there. We have freedom in the US and you don't see car bombs going off over here every day do you? The Iraqi government has just taken over the Iraqi armed forces - let's see what happens from here. Admitted - things are a mess over there, but freedom is not the cause of the hate between the ethnic groups - its "history". Hopefully, things will improve shortly. The people are sick to death (literally) of the violence and the Iraqi's themselves will be the ones to fix this or let things slide into further chaos.

I read an article by Leonard PItts Jr. today, claiming 500 Muslims died in 9/11? How can that be? There were only 3,000 total 9/11 casualties? And there's no way Muslims make up one in six New Yorkers. Does anyone have an explanation?

Bush bribes old,stupid,criminal recurits

"The Army also has put about one-third more recruiters on the street, and Congress approved new financial incentives for enlistees, including signing bonuses for some slots of as much as $40,000. The Army also began allowing people as old as 42 to enter the service; the maximum age previously was 35.
The Army also has accepted a larger number of recruits whose score on a standardized aptitude test is at the lower end of the acceptable range, and it has granted waivers to permit the enlistment of people with criminal records that otherwise would disqualify them. The Army says it does not grant waivers if there is a pattern of criminal misconduct or for convictions of drug trafficking or any sexually violent crimes."

Doesn't this sound just like the organization that YOU would want to represent your country, or have your kids involved with?

garbagefan2 made a very good point. There appears to be prejudice against anti illegals with deleting questions and answers. Pro illegals appear to be able to post whatever they want and break any rule without consequences.

Do you think Yahoo! is pro illegal?

Personally, I do not think it is. I think we've got significant problems at home and when we get those problems solved, we can move towards solving Israels or the Middle Easts in general. Or, we could solve ALL the problems right now and ARREST and imprison every government official on the planet earth and start over with honest men and women as our leaders. Thoughts?

Anybody that has traveled to Europe including England (one of Americas closest allies next to Israel) knows this is a true fact. Thank God for the fact that I spoke Spanish, I would be treated differently and with more respect that when I spoke English. I thought that it was a Gov. problem but when I started participating here on Yahoo answers, I couldnt gotten a better taste of American Racism and Arrogance that they are above the whole world. These racist people think that they could fix any countries problem and are very good at whining even about their own Gov.

Now people like Sean Hannity, Grumpy Old Man (Pat Buchannan) Lou Dobbs, and those other Arrogant , Racist Americans are targeting their next door neighbor that slowly are turning the people against America. I would be careful nowdays if I were those people i just mentioned about turning an Allie of Athe U.S. against them when Venezuela is becoming a growing power in South America.

It seems like they are racist. When people says swear words or anything on here they never get deleted. I don't swear about illegals and yet my questions get deleted. When I report a bad question that someone says about white people like 10 times. Yahoo never deletes it. I think it is racist. If I get reported again i'm taking action.

my wife had placed a protection order on me not for physical abuse but to keep me from calling her. ok im over that now but my daughter is included in this. which she didnt want, my question is can I get the protection order revoked if she calls me? reason I ask is "please dont think i dont care about my daughter" that she let my daughter call me for my birthday and has broken the protection order a couple of other times. but will still not let me see my daughter atleast until after november 3rd of the court appointment. and need to know if i can prove she is calling me if i can have the order revoked, not that i want to because i respect her having it done for herself but to be able to see my daughter again. as of the time being im keeping my mouth zipped and being good at not personaly breaking the order. but the idea of waiting 60 days to even think about seeing my daughter again and not knowing what the judge will decide is nerve racking. thanks to all who help

My boyfriend reported for active duty in the Marines in June. Before he left he contacted his credit card company to have his payments deferred while he was gone. (he was in boot camp so he did not have access to his money or statements to be able to make payments). The credit card company didn't do it and so he is now majorly overdue because they've been charging him late fees and overdraft fees for the last 3 months. As a result his credit is now really messed up. Under the SCRA he is supposed to be protected from this. Does anyone know how we'd go about getting the credit card company to fix the fees and his credit rating and how long we have or they have to respond to us?

The following figures appear in the official U.S. Financial Report, released by the Treasury Department:

* The true national debt is $49 trillion, not the $8.3 trillion Bush reported
o That's $156,000 for every citizen, or $375,000 for every working American
o This figure has more than doubled in the past five years
o We paid $327 billion last year on interest alone
* The true 2005 deficit was $760 billion, not the $318.5 billion Bush reported
o This is 6.2% of the GDP, not 2.6%
