Why didn't Bush and the government pin 9-11 on Saddam and Iraqi's instead of Osama?

My friend (conditional permanent resident) was legally married to a girl (citizen). The girl's parents got the annulment of marriage from NY court. My friend is in chicago. He had replied to summons but the in laws didnt disclose it court. What should he do to vacate the decision? Will it affect his immigration status? Shouldnt court proceed for divorce if legal marriage was done (instead of annulment)? Please give yr legal advice. Thank you

reading in the newpaper yesterday, 18 cubans landed on the west coast of Florida that were headed to Miami, strong winds took them to west. They came to the US and are being allowed to stay! I strongly disargee. If you come to US soil/land illegaly, you should be sent back in 24 hours. it's not fair to our workers. immigrants don't pay taxes, social security, insurance, but when it comes time for them to collect Social security @ 65, they are the 1st in line. It's an outrage. These people were spotted by a sprimp boat driver on a Hwy walking soaked with ocean water, dehydrated and with hypothermia. They should get a hot meal, dry clothes and a ticket back to their country. What if it were an Arab or Chinese person, we would be worried about terrorism or the Avian/Chicken flu coming over with them. What's the difference? As a PROUD, strong Latino I'm going to have to disagree strongly with swimming or boating immigrants.

My husband & I won custody of my step daughter in Feb. of this year. We are following the court orders on standard possession exactly. (obviously if a father won custody of his child in Tx courts situation was pretty bad.) According to the orders this year is her year to be with her mom on Christmas break starting the day she gets released from school - Today - thru the 26th at noon. However, we still don't know if she is coming or not, we'll find out tonight. But we just found out she attacked her boyfriend she was living with last night and he filed assault charges on her. (by the way she had assault charges already from attacking her previous husband which was not the same man as mine). Apparently the house they are living in is in his name along with all the utilites. He is cutting off all of them today, & contacting the landlord. She even bragged she was clubbing tonight with her friends.
Do we have to let her go if the situation is unstable and possibly dangerous?

I usually vote republican because I find the liberals so liberal they are scary. But, on the other hand I find the conservatives becoming so conservative it's scary some times to. I would definately consider joining a third major party if one was created to represent main stream America. They would have to support conservative issues like God, second amendment rights, National Defense, and low taxes. On the other hand I have nothing against stem cell research, affordable health care, and developing renewable energy sources. What would you want in a new middle of the road party?

...when the cost of the war, now over $500 Billion, is off the books as "emergency funding?" If I balance my checkbook, but still owe a credit card company as much as I make in a year, I don't think my credit rating would be so good. Doesn't this paint a false picture of our nation's economic stability?

Constitution of India has no provision for secularism.It’s Indira Gandhi amended by inserting the word secularism.It’s got to be ratified by Parliament .Till this day the ratification is not done. Secularism means “It asserts the freedom of religion, and freedom from religion, within a state that is neutral on matters of belief, and gives no state privileges or subsidies to religions”. Nehru gave Muslims choice to stay back in India though the basis of partition is religion. Initially Muslims in India were scared they changed names Yousuf Khan to Dilip Kumar, Hayat Ali Khan as Ajit; Sahib Jaan is Meena Kumari and goes on. Congress party pampered Muslims for their votes now they are in a position dictating terms to Hindus. Against to definition of secularism millions are given to Muslims for Haj. They made mockery of family planning. RSS should come out take the mantle of country by stepping into politics directly and control this onslaught of Muslims on our ancient Hindu culture.

He just spent about £700 changing the sign on his office door from "Office of the Deputy Prime Minister" to "Deputy Prime Ministers Office". Since his last escapades which effectively made his whole role obsolete and took away all his grace and favours, they have spent millions redefining the role of the office which is odd as it no longer has one apart from, effectively, a ceremonial role. He's basically a titty groping sell out who is a laughing stock and is hanging on to (a) get kicked up to the House of Lords and (b) allow his parliamentary seat to go to his son in a very cronyist way. Blending all this with his love for croquet, he's not really a working class hero or hardline socialist any more is he? What an abosolute tosser. It is however almost worth keeping two jabs just for his comedic value. Has anyone got anything good to say about the fat, slobbering imbecile or am I pretty much on the money?

i think so , A U.S. legislator who backs tough anti-immigrant measures and more security at the Canada-U.S. border is warning Americans that President George W. Bush is plotting to integrate the continent.
Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo, revered by some U.S. conservatives for his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, said this week that Bush is a dangerous internationalist. He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that, it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. "I know this is dramatic, or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic. But I'm telling you that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American union, it's not something that's just written about by right-wing fringe kooks," said Tancredo, who is considering a run at the presidency. ( he will have my vote!) he wants to deport every undocumented worker in the United States.
