The reason why Buddism in ancient China diminished in popularity is because people were complaining that it drained their country financially. The Buddist retaliated by saying they helped the Country more than they hurt it but eventually the Emporer seen them for what they were a financial drain and tax evading freeloaders gaining more power by the year. China tore down countless monastaries, reclaimed the land and forced thousands of monks back into lay life. Do you think the U.S. will have a similar out come in the Illegal immagration situation? Or will illegal immigration be the down fall of America Because the goverment is to scared to do anything?

Obviously the US has made and will make mistakes, but I think it is apparent from our foreign aid, willingness to sacrifice resources and American lives to help others who are being oppressed(WWII, Sadaam in Kuwaitt, Somalia)
that we are trying to help.

Meanwhile, France and others sit back and criticize and talk about how great they are but prove the opposite. For instance the Oil for Food scandals involving French and Russian diplomats and the recent scandal with the French Olympic official.

To think that they were involved with Sadaam behind the back of the UN. Maybe if the sanctions would have been allowed to take their effect there would not have been an Iraq war. Maybe the sanctions would have worked and Sadaam would have surrendered or been overthrown.
No one knows for sure, but we do know that the French were stabbing us and the UN in the back, and then go on to criticize the US when we take out Sadaam.

If we were to take the lead, we'd be criticized for that too. Who thinks we should take the lead and have uni-lateral talks with N. Korea and why. (I think Bush is right)

...not too long ago, the media was serious about his entry at Sandhurst, thinking the giddiness of his last dodgy few years might be slapped out of him, and the brain of a mature young man expertly inserted. Now...the media hype seems to be all kaputski - the top knobs have decided he will not be sent to Afghanistan on account that it's a too dangerous place for a prince.
Well, actually...it's too dangerous for anyone else in uniform. If his unit goes to war, then should he, otherwise his enrolment might be seen as a joke...much more serious than his Nazi-armband skank, etc. of time past

After all, there are politicians in both parties who behave in ways that Christ would find objectionable. Also, since Jesus is supposed to be the son of God, don't you think that he would be above politics?

The development and building up of the new super-country would spur our economy for centuries and stop the bickering.

Also, I believe this would give us other viable political parties to help balance out the elections.

My first preference is that we just start enforcing our own immigration laws first.

Is this more or less true ?Can you make such a simplistic observation -

A lot of Christians and westerner's are on the Jews are God's people and a lot of the Muslims seem to be on the Jews are the devil side

Is it going to be this extraodinary and simplistic sumation that will polarize mankind to the point of world war?

Here is my little opinion - they aren't gods people they aren't devils Theyu don't run the world and they should be treated with no less respect than the guy down the road who hasn't done anything to you and no more respect than the guy down the road that did do somthing for you .

This war is as much your responcibility as it is the politicians .How can you not see the blood on your own hands .
Have we become so detached from what we allow others to do in our name we no longer accept our own responcibility for the deaths in Iraq .

Admittedly, most fundamentalist Christians do vote Republican, but there are also a lot of non-fundamentalist Christians who are liberal Democrats.
