Why should the American taxpayers bear the burden of freeing the Iraqi people, especially when they can't control the sectarian violence in their midst?

ok so i was watching the news earlier this week or last and it talked about the new amendment that passed. the way i see it, if u stand in the way of the president or his agenda you could be deemed a terorist, wouldn't be able to fight it in a court, and then be "interogated" with what ever method the president aproves as long as its not torchure. so u can be beaten have dogs attack you ect. this sounds an aweful lot like the old soviet union after WWII. explain to me how this is constatutional.

I saw him on 60 Minutes and he seemed very articulate and crafty, but also amenable to reason.

I'm not so sure that Condi and Hadley and other neocon appointees, are smart enough to negotiate with this guy really. But maybe the lower level career diplomats who got their jobs by merit could.

The CBS 60 Minutes video of the interview is on the page below, for anyone who's interested. Just scroll down the line of videos

UK have the sovereignty about the islands, but is this fair?
Check any map, I think UK is a imperialist country who stole the islands to Spain 100 years ago.
So, do you really think who belong to UK? Why?
Some day Argentina will take the sovereignty of the Malvinas?

My attorney has charged around $7K to remove a false lien. I heard the average costs would've been around $1500 (in SF, CA)...

It was clearly a false lien (no attached documentation and no basis) and claimed that it would've only taken a month. However, 10 months later, and a lot of calls to him to focus on my case. We finally gotten the case cleared....
Do I have the basis to sue or get a judgement against the attorney?

I have a sign to protect my animals in case of a fire. It is stuck on w/ a magnet. It cannot fall off. Yet every day, I come home and find it thrown on the ground. I am sure it is these rowdy, screaming kids that are running around in the evenings that are doing it.

Any thoughts? If I agitate them more, they may get violent and set the place on fire or something (exactly what I am afraid of--a fire--thus, the reason for the sign). Or they may kick the door down and all my cats will run out. Help! Apt office will not help; I know this already. Police station nearby but if no proof, what can they do? Stand there all day? Surely they have better things to do. I just feel these kids will become more violent. This is a sign of worse things to come. I've seen this behavior before. It is vandalism and they are only going to get worse if it continues.

Fox Network has tried saying that Foley is a Democrat and many people caught on so that one won't work... There must be something we can do so that everyone will once again live in fear and back our war on terror, however inexpertly we choose to fight it (the war on terror...)!

His résumé of accomplishments is the most embarrassing and humiliating of any president in U.S. history. Examples:

He know full well you gouged the hell out of the elderly over Medicare.

He cut benefits for war veterans at the very same time you were busy waging a whole new war.

Under his watch, 3 million Americans lost their jobs, hebankrupted the Treasury, the deficit skyrocketed, the U.N. became irrelevant and he set the record for government-spending increases. Oh, and his environmental record is the worst of any president in American history.

So, a philosophical question: Which best describes his approach? Is it willful ignorance, like the Creationists? The Buddhist notion of (bad) karma? Descarte's mistrust of the flawed human senses? Or the Sartre concept of the petty bourgeoisie (that's him), who wake up at 50 just in time to watch themselves die? All of the above?

Every time Stephen Harper tries to implement a good idea, the Lieberals (Fiberals?) say that it is making Canada "too much like the US" as though that was a bad thing.
