In the event of the war in Iraq being a total failure (fragmented Iraq), and as a result of the carnage it has caused, the hundreds of thousands killed by the bombing, the destruction of the country, due to the fact that the war was illegal in the first place and not sanctioned by the U.N., should the World Court in the Hague bring criminal proceedings against the instigators of the war, i.e. Bush, Blair, and other political leaders involved?
I think there's a huge public perception out there that those responsible will have to answer for their crimes.

I like most democratic ideas, and I don't see why they are so hated from certain people. I really don't get the venom. Yes having an opinoin is fair, but geez. Do people really hate other people because of their opinion or are people not being as serious as I think.

I think George Allen's concession with 7000or less votes separating them was a Class Act. However, I strongly believe Webb wouldn't have been so gracious. I think he would've wanted a recount.

They have almost total power as of Jan.1 2007, will they screw this up by pushing and creating ridiculously lenient laws on immigration. The Dems finally got smart and quit pushing for tough gun control, something that has held this party back whether you believe it or not, this issue killed the Dems in most areas of the country. I'm glad they took the house and senate for obvious reasons, but will they stumble with this issue? I think so. Hopefully they will go after "Big Business" interests who created this problem in the first place rather than give amnesty to everybody and their grandmother, even a large % of hispanics agree with this, most of them educated and legal. Let's not destroy our country by getting lame on protecting our borders like Bush has, 99% of the people crossing are good, honest folks other than the fact they are breaking the law by crossing in the first place, but that 1% that crosses with bad intentions is all it will take for another horrible event to happen.

BOSTON - Another round in the Massachusetts gay marriage debate began Thursday, as activists both pro and con gathered at the Statehouse before lawmakers decided whether to support or sink a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
‘‘It’s not like we’re looking for something extra,” said Jeremy Spiegel of Stoughton as he stood on one side of Beacon Street holding a sign that read, ‘‘No Discrimination in the Constitution.” He added: ‘‘Same-sex couple just want the same rights as straight couples.”
But across the road, Travis Housman of Lynn had the opposite opinion. He said marriage historically has been between the sexes, not within them, but more fundamentally, he wanted the Legislature to allow state residents to vote on the matter in 2008.
Gay marriage supporters were working to kill the proposed amendment by forcing Thursday’s constitutional convention to recess without taking action on the proposal.
‘‘If we lose, we lose, but we want the right to vote on it,” Housman said.
The amendment needs the support of just 25 percent of the Legislature, or 50 lawmakers, to move forward. It must then be approved again in the next legislative session to wind up on the November 2008 ballot.
In 2002, former Senate President Thomas Birmingham adjourned the convention before a vote. Senate President Robert Travaglini has said he intended to bring the question to debate and resolution, but on Wednesday indicated he would entertain a motion by lawmakers to adjourn or recess before voting on the amendment. It would take 101 votes to recess or adjourn.
A vote to recess indicates lawmakers intend to reconvene the convention before year’s end, though it was not immediately clear if they would be required to do so. Adjournment would end the convention and kill the amendment.

I've been assigned to a debate on immigration, where I'm speaking pro- the motion. So, not only do I want to hear any suggestions on the positive aspects of immigration or emigration, but also any negative opinions or views you might have on how it affects the country, so I can be prepared for the arguments of the opposing side. Thoughts?
