Why is it that when Saddam ordered the deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqis, it's a crime and he's executed, but when Bush does it, it's collateral damage?

I mean, if we're arguing semantics, doesn't Saddam have more of a right to kill his own people than Bush does?

Now, I would never call for the painful, public and brutal execution of George W. Bush, but if anyone else wants to......

There is a article in Chinese saying that in California, even you are an adult, you have to make sure no one can see your TV screen from outside the house when you are watching the porns. Is that true? If yes, could you help to list the related law terms? Thanks.

oppressed and helpless at the hands of dictators? How do you justify that America with all her might stands by and watches and does nothing? How do you justify the blood in the streets and say we can not win? Why do we not say we will win, we will never quit while others are repressed and subjugated?

I can not believe that they censored this posting. What is this, Nazi censorship? There is no adult content in this posting…. I’ll dare them. This is clearly a violation of my 1st amendment civil rights. It is called free speech..

Dear Michael:
I need your help to blast CNN. Please have us on your program....

As parents of fallen soldier, Sgt Patrick Tainsh, my husband and I allowed CNN to come to our home on Wednesday night to interview us after the President's speech. (We also met with President Bush at Ft Benning on Thursday) My husband, USMC Sgt Maj (ret) and I support our President and understand the importance of winning this war.

Upon his preparing to leave, although we knew the answer, my husband ask the reporter.,Bob Franken, why more negative than positive was shouted by the media (which is causing lack of understanding to the public of why we must win this war)...Franken, standing near our son's folded flag and Silver Star said " Where no house is on fire, there is no news, Where it bleeds it leads."

And when I replied to the reporter, "you mean you're willing to report negativity that feeds the insurgency which emboldens them and causes death to our troops and can cause death to us," he said


"Not our problem, we just report the fires. It's a democracy."



Well, Michael, now I'm reporting this soulless idiot to you.



I hope if Franken and all media persons who "feed death" are ever allowed into heaven, Patrick and all our other fallen give them all a good "... kicking" since it is the soldier that gives the media rights they take carelessly to the danger zone. And all the negative that is reported is adding enormous weight to the grief our military families carry.

Do they just refuse to see the truth, or are they just so pathetically lazy, they choose to believe anything their neolib hero's tell them without looking to validate it?

for allowing politicians on both sides of the political 'battlefield' divide us? Aren't we only listening to our 'heros' bash the other side? Let's do each other a favor and listen carefully to both sides and hear what they are actually saying. Let's keep up with how many times our candidate or a member of our chosen party uses the opposing party to make a point. Is it possible that the only leg our chosen party is standing on is the fact that he/she can make us hate the other side?

Usually when straight guys are that interested in gay culture, it's because of their insecurity of their own curiosity.

I joined the U.S. Army in March of 03. That was the heat of the war. It took three days to march into Baghdad. At that time Americans where all about the war and unified on the war effort and had high hopes, but now that we have lost some soldiers. 3000 in three years, as in comparison to the 100,000 plus Iraqies that lost their lives. Now all of the sudden everyone wants to give up and go home. Well it's too late now. If America doesn't stick this thing out, then the rest of world will see us as a bunch of unresolved puss&*$. The sad part is we will have earned it. Every terrorist will know that if things don't go our way, it won't take long and we will turn and run like scalded dogs. The last thing I want to do is go back to Iraq, or to Afgahnistan, but if that's what it takes to keep my kids safe then so be it.

What do you think of the Soviet Union's old friend France opposing the iraqi war? The French basically left NATO in the middle of it and demanded NATO troops leave France in 1966. Both before and after that, French policies were unhelpful towards the USA at best, actually harmful at worst. It is more reasonable to consider France an ally of the USSR during the Cold War than of the USA.
thoughts, opinions?
