Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.
"Laurence J. Peter"
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Martin Luther King Jr.
It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance; for it requires knowledge to perceive it and therefore he that can perceive it hath it not.
Jeremy Taylor

I am a GOP just like a lot of you. The war may be a necessary thing. I am not ignorant to argue something I cannot intelligently form an opinion on. To do that you must know what the true Agenda is. If you think we publicize are political goals on TV please refer to line 1. What I do know is what we are not in Iraq for. We are not in Iraq because of terrorism and we are not in Iraq to free the Iraqi people.

since the second world war, the u.s has gone to war with only non white countries,and have killed more civillians then hitler.Lets have a look shall we? Starting with japan, korea, vietnam,columbia and other south american countries, libya,iran,grenda,somalia,, iraq are all non white countires, with the exception of only serbia as being white and even there only a hadfull serbs were killed.So lets put this into context, 98 % of the civillians killed by the u.s were non white and only 2% were white(not including the massacres of hte red indians).Hmmmm now it doesn't take a rocket scienctist to work this out, the 20 th and 21st century nazi's are realy the u.s.

Is the USA a country of a region on Canada?

According to Gallup's monthly update on job approval of Congress -- in a March 11-14, 2007, national poll -- 28% of Americans approve of the job being done by Congress and 64% disapprove.

Congress gets much lower ratings than Bush. Why?
Because they have done NOTHING since taking power-- with the exception of non-binding resolutions and political witchhunts.
America will not stand for this much longer.

What do you think of my idea. It could change this country.

I've been working inside the military (as a contractor) for many months. Most people I meet are good, well meaning people, but no one is incented to spend less money. In fact they are rewared for getting more money for their area.

I've seen great people doing great things for efficiency but it never goes back to the taxpayer. Why? No one is incented to do so. It is a culture of islands of power which protect their turf and build their budget. Dont get me wrong, they do a good job but no one worries about spending.

Why not pay some of these higher level people to benefit if the cut fat....and fat there is. You would not believe. Well meaning people need some reason to change. Lets pay the top civilian leaders (SES level) like CEOs. So what if they make $10M a year if they save us $10B.

Would you support paying cost cutting civil servants really big money if they deliver savings to us?

Why should there be an apology for something that anyone that was either enslaved or enslaving is now deceased? Who will accept the apology? What good will it do? Should there then be reparations? Who will the money go to? Should the Jews then apologize for crucifying Jesus? Should Germany and the Germans apologize for The Holocaust? Shouldn't Africans apologize too? Would one be racist for not thinking that an apology is necessary? These are some of the questions that an associate of mine asked me when the topic arose as a result of VA apologizing, and other states began making considerations in following suit. He even said that all people are equal now, that colored people should just get over it because it happened so long ago, and that he personally had nothing to do with it. His ancestors, who were Welsh and Irish immigrates to the USA, also had nothing to do with it, and did not own slaves. All of these questions relate to the main question, and should also be answered.
