Is it Federal or State court? I believe it is state, but I'm not sure. Anyone know for sure? This study pertains to international travel.

I've never seen any vendors selling legal copies of games in the shopping malls over here, around Subang and PJ.

If shopping malls aren't supposed to be renting out their spaces to illegal VCD/DVD sellers, how come these people are still running running a business here?

So many terrorist, many from Iraq and have been there as well before the are devoted suicide bombers set out on a mission to kill Americans everywhere, Iraq just is not the only country American troops are located. Iraq is not a dead end job as I might wonder why John Kerry believes he has a job anymore without a uniform how can he legally defend it against terrorists that have nothing except bombs and no real uniform to speak of. John Kerry wanted to talk politics not the reality of Iraq and the Middle East and Terrorism, is that why he waited so long to say anything about he not going to allow that from congress, sure gag the order Kerry so it applies to thyself. Our troops have Israel to thank for approaching the Hezbollah when they did so that narrowed the argument, uniform against uniform and in most cases Israeli against the black cloth hezbollah which I do not recognize as a uniform.

America has a Kerry with Boy and Girl Scouts that need American soldiers in Iraq!

John Kerry says he "botched" a joke about George W Bush and that the White House knows that.

Has John Kerry ever said anything deliberately funny? Examples would help. He just doesn't strike me as a humorous guy, hence the incredulity at his statement.

"If you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't you get stuck in Iraq," Kerry said. Essentially, Kerry was saying that our soldiers in uniform joined the military because they didn't do well in school and the military was their only option.

He later backtracked and said it was supposed to be a joke about Bush. But Bush actually had a slightly higher GPA than Kerry at Yale, so he couldn't have been talking about Bush's academic performance.

One could write this off as a "joke gone bad", except for the fact that it is not the first time Kerry has insulted our military. Also, there is really no way to interpret that comment as being anything close to a "joke".

It looks like John Kerry just gave the GOP another free gift right before an election.

I am interested in experiences of Vietnam War veterans. I would very much like to understand better the emotional trauma that they went through and still struggle with. I love a man very much who was only 18 when he went and, I believe, it is too painful for him to recount in the detail that I need. He was a tailgunner and received two Purple Hearts.

I was too young at the time to have any memories from that period.

Thank you for helping me out. I want to be able to help him when those old memories come up. Could you also suggest ways in which your wife/girlfriend could help you deal with those anniversaries?

Regardless of the administration in office or who holds congress, government consistently lies to the people and gets away with it. Yet, should anyone lie on their taxes, they go to jail and get to pay stiff fines.

HERE IS HOW GOP TRAITORS "SUPPORTED THE TROOPS" DURING CLINTON'S SUCCESSFUL MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE BALKANS.

REMEMBER, NOT ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER WAS KILLED, BUT THESE COWARDS HAD TO UNDERMINE AMERICAN RESOLVE WITH STATEMENTS LIKE THIS:

"You can support the troops but not the president"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"[The] President…is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
-Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
-Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W. Bush

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning...I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
-Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years"
-Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
-Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

"This is President Clinton's war, and when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem."
-Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)

"Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

Notice that for quite some time that the Dems have been criticizing President Bush for his handling of the war. The Dems say they can do better. Can they? Look back at the Vietnam War.
The Dems fought that war and that was a disaster. We lost 58,209 troops in that war and we sent around three million soldiers there. The war lasted around 30 years and the Dems could not even complete the primary objective which was, To ensure that Communist did not take over the country. There was even controversy on why we went to that war when it had nothing to do with the U.S.

Now take a look at the current war. We have only fought for around 5 years and we were successfully able to complete our primary objective, which was to ensure the freedom of both the Afghan's and the Iraqi's. We have only sent around 300,000 to both regions but yet instead of losing 58,290 soldiers, we have only lost around 3,000., which by the way is the fewest amount of KIA in any war that the U.S has fought in.

I just read that the US military is allowing Chinese military men to tour US military bases in Hawaii and California. China showed a U.S. military delegation that visited the country in March antiquated planes and ships dating to the late 1960s and early 1970s. I can understand why we don't demand equal respect in this, trade or anything else. We regret these deals every day, yet we keep doing the same thing.
