Politics & Government - 17 February 2007

I have some friends that think that if we leave Iraq and Afganistan right now that it will stop future terrorist attacks.
When I asked why, they said it would show that we want a peaceful end to things.

Considering the following attacks, along with the September 11th attacks that killed 3,000 -
I'm wondering how many people really, and truly think that if we leave, that it will all stop?

I'm not trying to start an argument, I just really am interested in knowing how many people think it will end, and why?

In 1983, the suicide attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut killed 241 American soldiers
In 1993 the first World Trade Center bombing killed 6 and injured over a thousand
The Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia killed 20 people
The Kenya embassy bombing killed 213 people and injured 5,000
The Tanzania embassy bombing killed 11 people
The USS Cole bombing killed 17 people

Take those into account, along with the 9/11 attack when considering your answer.
Thanks

I would like to hear your opinons on the subject- if you back them up. I would like to know what you think the reasons are behind the conflict. What is the affect of the Israeli security barrier? What is it going to do to the conflict in the West Bank? I would just like to know more about the west bank and its importance to the Palestinian and Israel conflict. I do not know much about it, and am a little confused.

They are conspicuous by their absence in the Gulf leaving all other proper armys to do their fair share of the fighting.
And marching bands may scare off satan, but are fairly ineffectual against the advancing Taliban.

smoke but are subjected to the poisonous fumes dare we go into public) then why is it legal for parents to smoke around their kids? Isn't that some sort of child endangerment or abuse?

Having said that I think of my 28 year old scar from a hernia I got at 8 weeks old due to my bronchitis being aggravated from both of my parents chain smoking around me. I coughed so hard and for so long that my little body got a hernia. Thanks mom and dad.

...for those who are unfamiliar to it, the 'sus' law was part of the 1824 Vagrancy Act...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sus_law
...but was overused by the police in the major cities in the mid-seventies onwards...especially during the first years of Mrs. Thatchers' government, basically to put fear into first generation Brits, who's parents hailed from the West Indies. It, in fact did the opposite, starting with Carnival riot of 1976, through to the death of a policeman in North London nine years later, with riots in Brixton, Toxteth, St. Pauls and Moss Side getting a look in during that time. Will the police (in 2007), in order to attempt some sort of authority in the troubles areas of late re-apply such laws - stop all black males from the age of twelve to 62 to frisk and ask the usual questions - with a few hours in a police cell if they display 'attitude'; id est...say nothing at all?

Will these morons actually get anything DONE or will it be back to the future with lots of smoke and mirrors but little being accomplished except for somewhat higher taxes, growing bureaucracies, handouts to teachers' unions, trial lawyers, and enviros and all the rest we've seen before?

What about war, health care, immigration, the coming entitlement / baby boomer collision, global warming, and all the rest. Knowing these losers have no moral courage can we expect them to even address these issues head-on so the country can move forward instead of continually staying stuck in the same place?

"Answers" with nothing but raving about how terrible the opponents of Little Nancy and Ho-Hum Harry are WILL BE REPORTED so, if you've nothing to say, keep it to yourself!

I knew they would lose the war on terror just like they lost Nam. I guess we might as well go buy our turbans and burkas.

Can some liberal nut explain the point of the non-binding resolution? If you seriously believe the war is wrong why not debate funding, etc.? You want points politically for going against Bush, but you don't have the balls to stand for something and take that heat from the American people! Thank you for giving aid and comfort to the enemy and showing our troops how supportive you really are.
