isn't it just like fighting hatred? how can you win a war on hatred?
setting an example just creates more hatred. spreading democracy doesn't work in a world that doesn't believe in it based on our own pitiful example.

If you think so watch this guys videos and learn more about whats really happening in this country, if you don't think so then watch and you may change your mind but everyone should e-mail this guy and ask not what you can do for your country but what the country should do for you :P I urge everyone though to join in because anyone who does enough research will learn that infact everything in these interviews and news reports are extreamly accurate and you SHOULD be afraid! Join the cause :)

Seems to me with Bush and his supporters in charge we're more likely headed for the dark ages. At least when Kennedy said "Let's go to the moon!!" he actually did something about it. Kennedy the "liberal" with a "liberal" congress did all that can you imagine?

Do you think it will reach American soil ever? Do you think it is possible for another country to come to our land and invade us?

I find it an insult that our government has been using fossil fuel as a source of revenue for years and NOW we are the ones who have to pay for global warming! where's all that revenue gone? and why wasn't some ringfenced to pay for the development of new environamentally safe fuel and renewable fuel?

Americans I meet, in the States as well as elsewhere, seem to be mostly decent sensible likable people. Yet some of them vote Republican. I see the Republicans sending troops to occupy other people's countries (Iraq, Afghanistan), supporting occupation (Israel's in Palestine), and at home cutting taxes to help the rich and doing little or nothing to help the poor, and opposing scientific progress like stem cell research from a place of prejudice.

I can understand the rich and Christian fundamentalists and other nutcases voting Republican, but what good do ordinary folk with common-sense and compassion see in the GOP?

to fight the war on terror???
I understand that some folks are only trying to help, but many, many others are 'speaking out of orafices that speech is not intended to flow from'.

In the movie 'Braveheart', Longshanks threw his son's gay lover out the window, for 'claiming' to understand the skills of warfare. Good idea? Maybe just wishful thinking?

Just a question from one vet to another.

a party claims it will change the policey of higher income tax, another says it will cut the 'stealth taxes' of the current government. Both say they will fund this with new 'green taxes' hitting the highest poluters.

Claims are also made that a party can have green credentials if it supports these green taxes. However it is necessary for the green taxes to be ineffective in cutting emissions or else no/little revenue will be generated to cover the costs of the policy changes, thus continuing current (high if you are a con) tax rates will be necessary.

What is the purpose of taxing polluters?

1)to raise revenue, to cut other taxes, thus make political advantage
2)to save the planet
3)can both actually be done???!!

A bomb blast has ripped through a crowd of labourers in a square in Baghdad's Shi'ite Sadr City district, killing at least 31 people and wounding around 50 others. Iraqi interior ministry sources said the labourers were gathering to wait for job offers.

Meanwhile, the death of a marine on Sunday took US losses for October to 100, making it the fourth deadliest month of the war.

And suspected Sunni gunmen killed 17 policemen in the predominantly Shi'ite southern city of Basra.

There was no immediate indication who was responsible for the bomb in Sadr City but it is a stronghold of radical Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who heads the powerful Mehdi Army militia.

Look I know that Jews suffered horribly during the second world war but so did other people. There was never any reason for us to start the border drawing that inevitably leads to the hatreds you see now. Putting the Shah in power was our second mistake; Ike did it out of the paranoia about communism in the 50's. Carter also made a mistake in allowing the Shah to seek medical treatment in the U,S.A. after he was overthrown. Why we didn't try to engage Iran and the other arab countries after that mistake is beyond me. Instead of seeking peace we befriended Saddam and then THAT blew up in our face. What a comedy of errors it would be if the result was not the horrific state of affairs we now face.

itsalways been the other way around. Democrats wise up, grow up and become Republicans.

Also why do democrats come on here claiming to be conservatives but advocate a liberal agenda? do they really think the rest of the world is as dumb as they are?

Then select their alter ID as best answer. I was looking around through a few est best answers and found that. The_report and Alpha_male were created 3 days apart. They both have about 18% Best Answers and over half of their Best Answers come from each other. Is that like talking to yourself and then answering?

I know its not a military question but the "TWO" of them are on this site most.

Seems like everyone wants to stick the President for every problem that has occured since he was elected. Why does everyone for get that this country is run by democracy--we chose him for our president, and we chose him (the majority of us) twice. Why does everyone want to escape their personal responsibilty to the point where it makes us all (not just the president) look like a bunch of fools. Do we, and our government as a whole, not have any connection in the problems that we face? Is it really all up to one man? I'm not willing to give any one person all that power.
