A seemingly intractable conflict which perpetuates hatred and death from both sides on a daily basis. A conflict which has ramifications outside the immediate communities and effects global politics to a disproportionate degree. Is there any chance for peace and reconciliation?

If you look Iran is more democratic than countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait & etc for instance in iran women also can attend in poll but in those countries not. even women can't drive car there but in iran is not like (I accept that SOME TIMES your ideas may be repressed by some people but it is not as bad as those countries) or look Egypt!

While going through my grandfather's estate, (he died a couple of years ago), I found a WWII service pistol tucked away in a closet.

It's dated 1937 across the top, and as best I could tell from the internet its a Luger. It had an S/## on it as well but I can't remember what the number was (04, maybe?).

I then found out that the Luger, especially that model, was a German gun. My Grandfather was stationed on Tinian Island in the Pacific for almost his entire service (specifically 1944-1945), so I have no idea how he could have come across this specific firearm.

If anyone who has any info on WWII firearms and service pistols can help me figure out where this gun came from it would be greatly appreciated.

I already looked it up on Wikipedia and some auction sites but am still unclear on the origins of the gun in relation to my Grandfather.

Tuesday on the View, she said Christians were just as guilty of terrorism as the Islamic terrorists.
She forgot to mention the part where Christian leaders force young people to strap bombs on themselves and blow up innocent bystanders. She also forgot to mention the Christians who cut off peoples heads. Or the Christians who stone women to death. What do you think?

I guess if you think beheading and shooting women and men for disputable crimes without any justice system organization or citizen representation, as the people, including small children are forced to look on is good family values...

Is this the kind of government you feel comfortable knowing your president's family is so kissy face and cozy with?
ANd why does Bush PHYSICALLY and metaphorically hold hands with the Saudi's?

Does Bush and the US sound like a government who gives two craps about the lives of innocent civilians or who would even care what an evil dicatator does to it's people, never mind try to use it as a cause to go to war?

They do horrific things to people in Saudi arabia, it's an evil country if there ever was one,
so why is the Bush family in bed with it's leaders?

I was arrested in 1976 for disorderly conduct in Illinois and evertime I apply for a job and they do a background check and find this arrest. I am on suspension right now from a job because this popped up on my background check. The charge was Nolle Prossed by the prosecutor when it went to court.

Do you think there's "too much sex" in the media?

Do you resent people who have a sexually loose lifestyle?

Do you support "abstinence only" education?

Do you think that women should dress more modestly, instead of in slutty fashions?

Do you think that strip clubs are a public nuisance?

Well, if you answer "yes" to the above questions, you need to know who else feels the same way:

ISLAMIC RADICALS!

When you agree with them on their sexual phobias, you're just strengthening the hand of the Terrorists.

Remember-- Sexual Freedom: It's the American Way!

Everyone should know in the laste 80's early 90's the goverment was funding the Needle Exchange Program throughtout the world which basically was a van that carried clean needles and drug addicts could come and exchange there dirty needles with clean needles to stop the spread of AIDS, but in a sense isnt that a contradiction of the government why if your trying to stop drug use would you support the habit?? by saying well drugs harm people but AIDS kill people.The governmet has a lot of explaining to do with this one.

Is it legal to hold a person against their wishes in this country and for how long and under what circumstances? Can you torture them while you have them under your control? What is the best excuse for doing this? Who are the people that can legally do this and what gives them this right under the United States Constitution?
