According to the John Hopkins University study, 46% of Iraqi civilians killed by American troops were under 16 years of age.

Can support for American troops be considered tacit support for the murder of children...?

reserves would be called up first for active war? Or did you think the active duty personel would go to war first and reserves stay stateside for National Security?

Im an 16 yearl old Mexican American, one of my parents is an American born Mexican American the other was born in Mexico. I have only been there once to a small town and the fiestas were very nice and the people very friendly, everybody says hello, I guess just like in small U.S towns.

I'm planning on joining the Navy when I'm old enough. I am a proud American, however I dont see anything wrong with having a Mexican flag or Mexican articles because I'm only being proud of who I am and where I come from, and in no way feel its disrespectful to my country. I feel its like wearing a jersey of your favorite team. I remember seeing many Americans of other cultures chearing for their cultures country during the World Cup.

I only ask everybody here not to take it personal when you see someone waving their cultures flag, or favorite sports teams flag, its not to disrespect anyone its to show they are proud of who they are and where they or their culture comes from.

I am a dual citizen (Greek by birth and American by naturalization). I am planning on visiting Greece for about a month on my US passport. I understand I do not need a transit/tourist visa for such a short stay.

1) Can I enter Greece on my US passport or MUST I have a valid Greek passport as well?
2) Can I leave Greece on my US passport?

I understand that a lot of dual nationals like me alternate between passports, BUT I have to leave in a hurry and I have no time to renew my Greek passport.

The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering.

The C.I.A. has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say.

In my U.S history class, we are reading about the Cold War, at least the start of it, also I read about the red scare thing after WW2 where all these people were accused of being disloyal to the U.S. And I have read that the Cold War ended not long after the Berlin Wall came down. Yet, there are still communist countries.

I am also wondering what is so bad about communisum?

American Government has been supporting economically, politically and many ways the countries having anti-democratic governments even dictatorships since long, for example, Saudi Arabia and Arab sheaiks countries, Iran when it was a Imerialist country of Shah Iran, the dictors of Cobodia, Chilli, Panama, Granada, Geotamala, Iraq when Sadam got a lot of American Aid, Talaban when they fought with USSR even though they believe on dictatorship and many countries of Asia, Africa and South America. Is it fare to support a dictator who killed millions of annocent peoples?

How can we educate citizens that it is proven that Veterans become homeless due to untreated mental issues as residue of military war service?

How can we get citizens to understand that existing VA programs do not address the issue of - do not even try - stabilizing and reintegrating the homeles men and women Veterans back into society?

Would you surf the net to discover these truths?

Ok i've been blocking radars for years slamming on my brakes just in time before the radar bounces off my car. However, I just got hit with a laser yesterday and my detector went crazy. I slammed the brakes and was doing 87 in a 70 but he never stopped me. I heard lasers need something to reflect such as a front license plate, head lights etc. Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid a laser besides a laser jammer?

On the DMV website, I just found the "Bill of Sale" form. He is going to sign that, and I'm wondering if I have to show that to the DMV FIRST or can I just take THAT form and show it to the Police Department with his signature and they'll let me take out the car that now belongs to me? I'm asking this because it's Sunday and DMV's aren't open, and Monday is a holiday!!! Thanks in advance!

A warrent was issued for me some time ago. This was my first dealing with the leagal system so i was scared and took a plea agreement. After the fact and looking thru my paperwork i see that the information the sherrif's department gave the court was inaccurate. To be precice they stated that i admitted to certain things. there are digital recordings of the conversation i have access too, i never admited to the acts and was not made aware that the conversation was recorded or read my rights, the conversatin was over the phone. would i be able to appeal or expunge charges based on this?
