Immmigration is a huge topic. Why are many users obsesed with mexicans?
Mexicans were in the USA before any of you, and they are nt bragging about themselves and the laws involving Immigration or Emigration! Thousands of US Americans emigrated to Mexico since the S.W were annexed to the USA. Who is the USA? Many people..many... not only U!

People call Saddam a "psychotic radical". What on earth do they know more about Saddam Hussein than I or anyone else. Murderer maybe, but psychotic...?
Extremists would like to believe people like me think that Saddam is innocent. Who ever said that?
But the whole trial & case is a mockery.
America & Israel have been using phosphar munitions, which has killed mostly civilians in the last 3yrs, and which is a chemical agent which incinerates it's victims.
What did those people in Iraq do to you, to deserve that. Anyone who argues that civilians are a casualty of war are racists. They wouldn't be saying the same if it were US or British lives at stake.
How on earth can you try someone for warcrimes when you're doing the exact same thing.
In anycase, he was the leader of a country supported by us, created by us Brits, and his life was threatened. What would the govt do in the US if an attempt was made on George Bush? The accused wouldn't make it to jail that's for sure

"We know where [Iraq's WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat." -- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003, in statements to the press.

FACT: Needless to say, no such weapons were found, not to the east, west, south or north, somewhat or otherwise. Some empty artillery shells that may have held poison gas or biological agents were found later, but they were not usable. The pentagon confirmed this.

Clinton Deal Gave N. Korea 100 Nuke-Per-Year Capacity
NewsMax ^ | 10/19/02 | Limbacher


Posted on 10/19/2002 8:53:52 AM PDT by Tumbleweed_Connection


Lightwater nuclear reactors provided to North Korea under a 1994 deal negotiated by the Clinton administration have the capacity to generate enough nuclear fuel to produce almost 100 nuclear bombs per year, a 1999 congressional study warned.

The study was undertaken by the House North Korea Advisory Group, chaired by Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman, R-NY. Members of the panel included Rep. Doug Bereuter, R-Neb, then Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, Rep. Porter J. Goss, R-Fla., Chairman of Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Christopher Cox, R-Calif., then Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee.

In its November 1999 report to the Speaker of the House, the Advisory Group sounded the alarm about North Korea's nuclear weapons program, cautioning that the "Agreed Framework" that President Clinton had promised would derail Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program had backfired.

In one of its "Key Findings" the Advisory group warned ominously:

"Through the provision of two light water reactors (LWRs) under the 1994 Agreed Framework, the United States, through KEDO, will provide North Korea with the capacity to produce annually enough fissile material for nearly 100 nuclear bombs, should the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) decide to violate the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT)."

The report continues:

"Spent Fuel from the Two Light Water Reactors: If the 1994 Agreed Framework is implemented and two LWRs are eventually built and operated in North Korea, the reactors could produce close to 500 kilograms of plutonium in spent reactor fuel each year; enough for nearly 100 bombs annually if North Korea decides to break its obligations and reprocess the material."

Officials in Pyonyang acknowledged this week that North Korea had indeed broken its obligations under the Clinton accord and are now proceeding full speed ahead with a full-blown nuclear weapons program.

The Advisory Group further cautioned:

"Although the 1994 Agreed Framework was essentially aimed at eliminating North Korea's ability to make nuclear weapons, there is significant evidence that nuclear weapons development is continuing, including its efforts to acquire uranium enrichment technologies and its nuclear-related high explosive tests."

In one of the Advisory Group's most chilling observations, the report warned that since the implementation of the Clinton accord, North Korea had made significant progress in developing an intercontinental ballistic missile fleet capable of targeting the U.S. with weapons of mass destruction:

"In the last five years, North Korea's missile capabilities have improved dramatically. North Korea has produced, deployed and exported missiles to Iran and Pakistan, launched a three-stage missile (Taepo Dong 1), and continues to develop a larger and more powerful missile (Taepo Dong 2). Unlike five years ago, North Korea can now strike the United States with a missile that could deliver high explosive, chemical, biological, or possibly nuclear weapons. Currently, the United States is unable to defend against this threat."

The report also features a bar graph that shows a direct correlation between increases in Clinton administration aid and North Korea's enhanced ICBM capacity.

The Advisory group also contended that the "Agreed Framework" had made North Korea "the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region."

"In an astonishing reversal of nine previous U.S. administrations, the Clinton-Gore administration, in 1994, committed not only to provide foreign aid for North Korea, but to earmark that aid primarily for the construction of nuclear reactors worth up to $6 billion," the Advisory Group noted.

"Yes, we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the UN prohibited." -- President Bush in remarks in Poland, published internationally June 1, 2003.

FACT: This was reference to the discovery of two modified truck trailers that the CIA claimed were potential mobile biological weapons lab. But British and American experts -- including the State Department's intelligence wing in a report -- have since declared this to be untrue. According to the British, and much to Prime Minister Tony Blair's embarrassment, the trailers are actually exactly what Iraq said they were; facilities to fill weather balloons, sold to them by the British themselves.

I just came back from the US (I'm in the UK). There was all this nonsense about Kerry saying some bad joke that suggested possible critiscm of the army. So what?! In the UK all areas are open for critical discussion-the army, the prime minister, foreign policy, the royal family, religion etc ALL get there fair share of criticsm - its how democracy works. But my impression of the US is of a lack of free speech where certain areas are way off limits- can't criticize the army, can't criticize religion, can't criticize. can't criticize the president in 'war time'.
The Thought police are in full effect. Its very undemocratic and very depressing to witness. Can anyone really justify the gagging of peoples views on these subjects. Small things like Ahbu Graib, thousands of civilian deaths etc did happen. Surely the army needs critical examination.

I am a U.S. citizen and love my country but am coming to realize that I disagree with th actions and beliefs of my government. I would like someone to talk me into complacency so I no longer think my government is acting as a hypocrit.
Fact- the U.S. promotes equality and freedom
Fact- we are fighting war called Iraqie Freedom in hopes of their developing an equal free democratic society
Fact- we believe a country must defent themself from terrorist, war, etc.
Fact- Communism claims to be most equal of all governments weather or not they are
Fact- Nort Korea and USA have Nuclear Bombs
Why is it the USA is permitted to defend themselves with nuclear bombs but north Korea may not. Even if the leader is a whack job don't they have the fundamental rights of all people (protection) that we are trying to promote in Iraq. I don't like the idea of anyone having these bombs, but what makes America better? Why are the citizens of this country guaranteed protection? Are my facts wrong?
