What have we done that is so bad except defend ourselves and try to get rid of some of the world’s psycho's. For all of us outside the Islamic lunatic fringe, we are in the same boat so to speak! Contrary to the feelings of all the antiwar people we aren't trying to "take over the world"! We just want to try and make it safer for everyone...don't believe all the rhetoric of our politicians. Their positions change with the wind and each re-election period. I for one am glad our nations have become so close and that we have each others backs!

Please, serious responses only...no angry bashing!

Does the idea of killing for Jesus make them better warriors? Can you recruit more soldiers at Pat Robertson Liberty University versus Berkley University in San Francisco?
-----------
DENVER -- An Air Force chaplain who protested that evangelical Christians were trying to ''subvert the system" by winning converts among cadets at the Air Force Academy was removed from administrative duties last week, just as the Pentagon began an in-depth study of alleged religious intolerance among cadets and commanders at the school.

Surveys of present and former cadets have shown that some students said they felt a heavy and sometimes offensive emphasis on evangelical Christianity, with praise for cadets who pronounce their ''born-again" status and insults aimed at Jews, Roman Catholics, and nonevangelical cadets.

With the elections so far away, shouldn't she be concentrating more on the job she was elected to do? Makes it look like her critics were right from the get-go. She had her eye on the presidents spot and the "Senator of New York" thing was just a stepping stone. I think New Yorker's got DUPED!

Do you apologize for Ambassador April Glaspie, who told Saddam "we have no views on your Arab-Arab conflicts", just before he invaded Kuwait?

Do you apologize for killing 205,000 Iraqis in the Gulf War?

Do you apologize for forcing Iraq to give up its WMD, when Israel was allowed to keep them?

Do you apologize for the million Iraqis who were killed by sanctions that the U.S. refused to lift, even AFTER Iraq destroyed its WMD?

Do you apologize for Madeline Albright, who said "we think it's worth it" when asked if it was right that half a million Iraqi children should have been killed by sanctions?

Do you apologize for George W. Bush, who obstructed the work of the weapons inspectors and then kicked them out of Iraq in 2003, so he could start his "shock and awe" terrorism?

Do you apologize for the 655,000 Iraqis who have died from violence since Bush started his war?

No apology will ever bring back the victims. But perhaps, it will stop this kind of genocide from happening again.

Some poor guy got a £60 fine and 3 points on his license the other day for eating a sandwich whilst driving. No such penalty is applied or enforced for smoking a cigarette behind the wheel ..... which would you say was more dangerous? You can eat a sandwich without taking your eyes off the road, yet to me it seems impossible to take out and safely light a cigarette whilst paying the road your full attention. Yet another money-grabbing police policy!?!?! I swear if they could effectively tax breathing, they would do it.

All regimes (whether repressive or soft) talk of freeing planet from terrorism, although they have history of denial of human rights. But to gain cheap popularity they talk big.
For example this was in our country only where in no body asked affected people before partitioning nation based on religion and denying right of life and inheritance to several people of particular religion during 1947. India and Pakistan celeberate independence without remembering those innocent people who were killed due stupidity of Jinnah
