Why are so many people being fed and swallowing the pack of lies about Iran. First and Foremost, Iran has never said that they want to develop a nuclear weapons program, yet the issue is always, "should Iran have nuclear weapons". And it always makes me laugh when people use the the President of Iran's comments about wanting to "wipe" Israel off the map as a reason against Iran's nuclear program. The president doesn't even have any power, he routinely has to ask the Ayatollah and the Guardian counsel for permission. Why should his comments matter? And it is funny how the USA can wag it finger at Iran but not mess with Israel. Israel has the most nukes in the middle east region and is by far the least stable. Israel's demolition of southern Lebanon and the lack of concern from the US just shows immense amount of hypocrisy.

Also, you think for a country that complains as much about pollution and global warming would be for a country adopting Nuclear energy, which is far cheaper and clea

Today my nephew was arrested. We live in Texas. Apparently he was involved in an altercation at his high school. I don't know specifics yet but he says he and another child was play (as boys do) and he had a razor blade and was waiving it at the other boy and incidently cut him on his hand (just a scratch).These are not argued by either child but the boys parents were not amused and called the police. He was arrested. What should his parents expect as far as his punishment. He has never been in trouble before. Gets good grades and plays football for his school the other student was his teammate. This is serious so please no sarcasm.

ok,

ive been enlisted in the navy over a year now, and well i kind of have the typical story of the recruiter telling me to just leave some stuff out about my past medical history.

i did however come in on numerous medical waivers, but for this one particular issue i did not. i went to medical, and well they sent me to a civilian doctor who i have not yet seen.

i have not disclosed this information to medical for the obvious fear of fraudulent enlistment. -

but, in the case of fraudulent enlistment - does anyone know what would happen - IE. restriction, pay and rate reduction?

just inquiring, so i know where to go from here.

I'm 25 years old and I do know that the benefits go until age 26. I talked to someone at school that was over all that stuff and he said that I could just get a monthly check thing for school i forgot what it was called. He said the most I could get monthly would be 1,000 but the VA decides how much you get. My tuition is 7,200 a semester. So I just wanted to know some more about this. Thanks

What I do not understand is in certain European countries Communism is considered Anarchist. Well how can it be anarchy if Communism has always been about total control of society. Maybe i'm missing something.

Hi,

I have taken a Tata AIG Maharaksha LIC policy, and canceled that polocy, so they need to return some % of money that I paid for that policy after cancelation of that policy within 7 working days they need to refund that amount. But those people are not returned that amount even if 2 months got completed, When I call them, they are telling we are taken your complaint so within 7 working days you will get that amount. This thing is happening form 2 months.

So I fedup with these people, so I am going to file a case on TATA AIG people.

So, can any one suggest me the procedure to get my money back as early as possible.

Texas killed 78 inmates last year, that is more than one a week. They refused to honor the Supreme Court suggestion on a moratorium on killing the mentally impaired. Most of the other states have either repealed or put a moratorium on the death penalty while they review all cases that hinged on DNA and a record number of people have been freed after being wrongfully convicted. Texas is not actively looking at reviewing cases where DNA or circumstantial evidence could free a inmate. Is this fair? I am not advocating freeing those who are guilty and believe that in most cases Life without the possibilityof parole is sufficient. BUT should we take the chance of killing innoncent people rather than admitting there maybe a mistake? The justice system is not set up to kill the innoncent, but instead protect them.

When the US fought the North Vietnamese, no one believes that we went to war for any reason other than to halt the spread of communism. Whether or not you agree with the reason for our involvement in Vietman, I don't think that anyone believes that we went to war in Vietman to steal that nation's natural resources. If we had, at the very least, legitimate national security concerns that were consistent with a morally grounded foreign policy (I'm refering to our motives, not the consequences of that war), why is it so hard to believe that the Bush administration also has, at the very least, legitimate reasons for invading Iraq?
