The current justification for the Iraq occupation, now that the lies about WMDs and Al-Queda ties have been exposed, is that it is supposedly good strategy to 'fight them there so we don't have to fight them here." Doesn't that strategy completely depend on the co-operation of the terrorists? How does our military's presence in Iraq prevent a terrorist group from attacking elswhere? They attacked Barcelona and London, even though we were 'fighting them there'. Can you imagine one terrorist saying to another, "Hey, let's not plant that bomb in that American city. Let's go to Iraq instead! That's where the action is!"

Here in America, English is language we speak. Having multiple languages wastes time, energy, and paper.

If it is illegal to do it in real life, then why do we as American citizens allow things that are illegal to be viewed by everyone no matter the age or mental circumstance? Children are allowed to watch TV, Internet and videos that are totally inappropriate and people who are mentally disadvantaged have no understanding that what they see on TV is not something appropriate for them to do. People can check out videos of hideous cruel acts of violence being done to another person yet when a person mimics those actions they are allowed so easily to view via the internet and different Medias, they could be imprisoned for misconduct.

Where does our responsibility concerning the fact that what we allow people to view and read, we are actually educating them how to do, come into play. Perhaps the right to free speech and free press is more to our detriment than to our good and we need to consider casting out old laws that no longer protect us and creating new laws that would truly help us free from the horror and bondage that many people see via the different Medias and then inflict on other people in real life because the idea was put into their minds from watching it.
As more and more people lose their moral reasoning through drug and alcohol abuse and as more and more victims of occult abuse and other sexual abuse situations split into different personalities doing hurtful and unkind things to other people; and as more and more people are being educated that life is just an illusion and that there is no good or evil and that whatever happens to someone is neither good or bad, it just is, our society will continue to breed more and more people willing to inflict pain and suffering on others thus creating more and more mentally disturbed individuals who then need the financial assistance of the state to live off because they are unable to work and function normally in society because of the traumatic abuse inflicted upon them. If all this insanity is allowed to continue it won’t be long before our hurtful acts have affected so many people in such negative ways that the majority of American citizens will be mentally dysfunctional. Who then would be in control the country?

The different Medias have desensitized most Americans to the point that the majority of Americans no longer view murder as being disrespectful or hurtful to another human being and most see no wrong in being deceitful. The different Medias have desensitized Americans to the point that we think it is funny to be abusive and throw and hit things. How many cartoons can a child even watch without being exposed to at least 100 acts of violence or negative feedback from one character to another portrayed to a person or an object?

Most people learn best from example, what kind of example do we as Americans want our children being raised around? Is there any wonder there is so much violence, road rage, gang fights etc. This violence is not being learned from a proper spanking to the clothed behind when a parent is correcting a child for a misdeed trying to teach them proper moral principles and behaviors to help them become honest, trustworthy, productive adults, it is being modeled by our negative Media characters! What responsibility do all those producers earning millions of dollars off the violence they project out to the American people have for the example they set?

Was everyone so excited, back in November, when the Democrats ended up being the majority and won the House? I saw a quote on Yahoo News in which he basically said, "i'm the decision maker on Iraq." I know for many it was seen as a good thing when the Democrats came out on top, but in reality, isn't Bush telling the truth? That he is indeed the decision maker on Iraq, so no matter how much everyone protests and objects, in the end, he makes the decisions. And not just on Iraq policies, on everything involving the US. What exactly can the others do to stop him? I'm not really very knowledgeable when it comes to politics, nor do I get involved in all the controversy. I'm just wondering how it will all play out, and after all is said and done, does it really matter who opposes him....what can anyone do?

I don't mean this to be a partisan question. I've just been hearing a lot of jockeying between Bush and Congress about deploying troops. I've read the Constitution and know that only Congress can "declare war," but I didn't see anything addressing a president's rights regarding troop deployment.

Cite a source, please.
Thanks.

So far today, many conservatives have pointed out Intelligence reports saying Iran is at least 10 years away from producing a bomb.

Conservatives with their heads in sand again? and when they are proved wrong, like Iraq, will conveniently blame flawed intelligence.

IF the new plan in Iraq turns out to work, CAN YOU and WILL YOU say, "Bush was right"?

And please don't say, "this is unanswerable, because it won't happen", or similar,because that will only make you look pathetic.

And it shouldn't matter that it is "a hypothetical qustion". You should be able to PICTURE YOURSELF in that scenario.

Thanks for answering honestly.

agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

For a Democrat to have any chance at winning the Presidency, they must win a good portion of the South to capture the Electoral College. This means that a Democrat must be significantly ahead in Nationwide polls. If Republicans are so unpopular, why are McCain and Guiliani over 15% ahead, at a minimum, of every potential Democratic candidate in every single Nationwide poll. Does America distrust Democrats in the White House because of Carter and Clinton? By 2008, Republicans will have controlled the White House for 28 of the last 40 years. Now, it's going to end up being 36 out of 48.

Christians comprise somewhere around 90% of our country . But after a few hours on Yahoo, you'd never know it !! And after a few hours of Network News, you'd be convinced that the U.S. was largely an Atheistic Society !! And then don't even dare to talk politics, without a whole parade of Christian Haters blaming the Christians for everything , almost as much as President Bush gets blamed for everything from Hurricanes, Global Warming, the color green, and POP-TARTS .

So, when did it become FASHIONABLE to Hate those who LOVE the Lord ? And doesn't the Bible have something to say in DIRECT relation to this Hate ?
