Now, don´t get me wrong, I´m all for helping others, but I just don´t understand why the US is so quick in helping other nations (financially and via military power) when we have problems at home. In my opinion, if we can "find" $770 million to aid Lebanon, why can´t we at least utilize a fraction of that to rebuild New Orleans and other areas that have been totally devastated by previous and recent natural disasters within our own country first. Some of that $770 million could go towards building facilities to help the less fortunate within our country. We could donate a couple hundred million to Lebanon, but how about we use the rest at home. Just a thought. What do you think??

I have a friend who assault the property manager in our building in Sept. He attempted to strangle him in anger. There are 5 witnesses. The property manager wants money for the damage and will not let go of the charges. My friend goes to trial on Feb 27. I cannot testify for either of these people because I would face severe questioning etc. I want to tell the presecutor that my friend has a bad temper and often denies things and is full of himself and what he can do etc to get him some treatment without jail time and to stop the property manager from collecting a large sum of money because I think the Property manager is a little money hungry himself. How do I go to the court house and tell someone without getting involved in the court trial. Who do I talk to and how unanonymous can I be???
My friend stand to lose alot of money in paying a few lawyers to gt him off and also if he is convicted.
Although I like my friend he does have a very bad temper and is extremely angry at times.

Do you agree or disagree with President Bush's plans for the Iraq War, the No Child Left Behind program, and balancing the budget by 2012 without raising taxes? Are these just blank promises? Is he even aware that he won't be President in 2012?

My brother in law recently signed over his rights to his daughter so that her stepfather could adopt her. He has not heard anything since as to if she has been adopted or not. Since he signed over his rights, does he even have a right to know if the adoption has taken place?

I am in Europe and unable to see American tv. So, I appeal to you all to let me know what happened.

Conservatives: be balanced in your praise for him. Does his new Iraq plan sound good? What about immigration?

Liberals: please tell me specifics about what you like and dislike. Did any of you get a better opinion of him? Do you agree that it would be a disaster if we don't finish the job in Iraq?

Do you believe we'd literally be fighting terrorists on our streets?

Would putting the money we've spent on Iraq into our borders, ports and controlling entrance into the country been a more effective means of preventing terrorists in our country?

I work with Texas Instruments equipement all the time and would like to advertise my services in a magazine. The ad I have lists many things about me, and also mentions that I'm a member of Texas Instruments Network Program.

Do I have to get permission to use Texas Instruments name in an advertisement? I'm sure their name is trademarked or copyrighted.

Thanks,

Don

He said suicide bombers should stop and accept peace, just as Israel should accept the Roadmap process and embrace peace.

Sounds like what a Nobel Peace Prize winner should be saying, right?
