When I see these protestors against the Iraq war I wonder if they really know what's going on? With the war on terror we've liberated 50 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Iraqi people have had three free elections, they have done in their country in nine months what it took our country seven years to do during its'founding and that is to have a constituition written by duly elected representatives and voted on by the people and formed a democratically elected government.

Information from Dept of Defense site:... Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department,... offered an unusually candid assessment of America's war in Iraq......***."The occupier has started to search for a face-saving way out. The resistance, with all its factions, is determined to continue fighting until the enemy is brought down to his knees and sits on the negotiating table or is dealt, with God's help, a humiliating defeat***," he said. The United States Government is wanting to talk to the insurgents.

Do you think that Bill Clinton should not have been treated so unfairly with Monica Lewinski ordeal. I know that he probally has some problems with Hilary about it, but can't you just give the guy a break. Plus everyone would deny having relations with Monica. This also reminds me of Arron Burr back in the 1800's. He killed Hamilton and commited treason but he was let off...

Well you just did.As a retired Sgt. Maj. from Desert Storm I feel that Bush took us into this war under false pretenses.He said Iraq Had WMD's and we later found out that they did not.Did you hear what he said when asked how he felt about the number of soldiers killed in Iraq?He replied to the effect "I don't measure success or failure in those terms.To me success will come when the Iraqi's can govern themselves" I'm para phrasing.That says to me it's not important how many men are killed as long as Bush gets what he wants.Bush said not long after 9-11 that there was no link between bin Laden and Iraq.He can't have it both ways.If he's trying to weed out terrorism , he's fighting a losing battle.Terrorism has been around since Cain & Abel.You can argue with me all you want but I've been there, done that.I was in the first Gulf War.

Is immigration a hopeful sign? Is it a danger to the economy? How do most people seem to perceive the effect of increased immigration?

Our troops need to come home now. What can one person do to help bring this about? Voting has limited effect and no guarantee. Protests are useless. Donating money takes a lot of money. What is the most effective thing I can I do to stop this war?

Just because a war is not going the way you want is no reason to retreat... unless you happen to be French or a Liberal.

Iraq is going to hell quickly, and it appears that this issue is going to cost the Republicans control of Congress. If that happens, do you think Bush will regret that he didn't take action sooner to change his Iraq strategy, and do you think the situation would be better if Donald Rumsfeld had been replaced?

Conservatives carry these ideals:
Balancing the budget, small govt, limited govt, moral values...

But the incumbent Reagan-inspired Neoconservatives have impulsively done this:
$8.5 trillion debt, big business-supported government, new controversial laws being passed all the time because of "national security" that increases the power of the govt to the point beyond extremity, and misleading the American public about the war without reluctance.

If anyone supports these things Bush has done, and tries to justify the reasons for doing them, they are a NEOconservative, and not a respectable conservative.
If this describes you, then YOU have betrayed your core conservative beliefs! How do you feel about that?

I got a ticket over a month ago, but am unable to pay for it because it has not gone through the bureaucratic process yet. Is my only choice to show up on the date on the ticket at the county office?

If yes, can I contest the ticket at the same time if I feel there is a possibility the judge might dismiss it?

Thank you for your help. All the best.

One day he is open to options, next day he wants to stay and "win", then he compares Iraq to Vietnam, now he is discussing it with the generals, but still talking tough. Indecision, floating trial balloons, or smart politics?
