Should immigrants be forced to accept new country's liberal views?

The Netherlands and soon Australia are requiring prospective immigrants to view a video that describes the country's views. For example, the Dutch want immigrants to know that they are very accepting of homosexuality and nudity. If immigrants can't accept these things, they do not qualify to live in their country. It seems to mostly be used as a way to deter ultra-conservative Muslims from immigrating to the Netherlands. What do you think of this? Is it effective? Is it morally correct? Why or why not? If you need more details, read this article and give your thoughts. Should other Western countries implement something similar?

How could the Bush Administration have been so wrong? What's a correct penalty for such gross miscalculation?

Bush & company have been wrong on so may counts.
Prior to the invasion, administration said overall costs for war in Iraq would be under $50 billion. An in depth study by well regarded economists from Columbia and Harvard (Stiglitz and Bilmes) estimate Iraq war costs to exceed $2 trillion so far.

Bush and wanted to do the war in Iraq on the cheap -- fast and dirty -- with limited force. And they planned to exit before the November 2004 elections according to Frontline report. This sounds for all the world like a secret timetable, yet Bush bristles when time-tables are suggested. General Chenseki was fired after suggesting to Congress it would take more military than Rumsfeld calculated. Most agree now that we needed more troops.

The stated objective of the invasion was "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people."All are scrambling to come up with new goal now that victory is not deemed possible.

Qusestion to those who know or police people?

The apartment building that my boyfriend used to live in was located across the street from an elementary school, and his street came out right in between the school zone signs. He was leaving for work one morning, and it was school zone time, but he didn't know that. A cop pulled him over and gave him a reckless speeding ticket, going 45 in a 25. He didn't know the sign was on otherwise he would've obeyed it. How could he have known? Is there something he could have done to beat this in the courtroom?

Questions about abortion..?

Okay, I know that I would personally NEVER get an abortion. I am also saying that I am neither pro-choice nor pro-life. I know not everything thinks the same way as me. I am not asking whether or not abortion is right or wrong as a whole, but I do have a couple of questions..

Is abortion right when the mother doesn't care about the baby growing inside of her, is a drug addict and continues to use drugs throughout her pregnancy? The baby is born and is severely brain damaged. Would it have been better for the baby to never even been born?

What about incest?

What if a woman gets an ultrasound and finds out the baby is severely brain damaged and will never be able to have a normal life. Would it be better to never even been born?

Okay like I said I'm not saying I would get an abortion ever, but what are YOUR opinions? Please don't get mad at me, I'm only asking! I am not trying to start a debate, just asking some questions =) Any other situations you can think of?
