The next part of the question. If you are opposed to it, why don't you try do something about it? It is only a matter of time before employers try to start filling traditionally american "accepted" jobs with cheaper labor then everyone is in trouble who lives in America.

In the good old days there was no standing army . Men were called to war off the farms and went etc

That was a long time ago

It seems that if we retreat then we are giving up the pursuit, which translates to defensive.

If we stay and continue to fight then we are playing offensive.

Correct?

I have been working on various ideas (some programming, some engineering) that I believe could have a positive impact on society. I would like to declare them into the 'public domain', so that no one person owns the idea; i.e., I don't want someone to get a paetent or copyright to prevent others from using the idea. How could I release information with these objectives?

to meet benchmarks?

The United States also must build a 21st-century military, Mr. Obama said, in addition to “showing wisdom in how we deploy it.” He called for expanding ground forces, adding 65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 to the Marines. Less than 1 percent of the military can speak foreign languages like Arabic, Mandarin or Korean, he said, calling for additional training and recruitment to address the problem.

My father (a low income/self employed) had an emergency surgery at a non-profit Hospital in S. Florida (not a Hill-Burton). Although he is over 65 and has Medicare part B, but not part A (did not worked enough quarters) nor any other insurance. Recently the outrageous bill arrived: almost $53K (I suspect is about 400% overcharged). After an initial contact with the hospital's counselor, we are awaiting for a response to whether he is accepted by the Medicaid program (I don't think he is eligible, since his assets is over $6,000) or apply him to the hospital's program, which leaves us still afraid of the bill, as the hospital may discount only portion of it and leaving an evident overcharged balance to be paid. What are the options if he still end up with a huge bill other than payment plan? challenge the charges? consider bankruptcy? or joining a class action law suit? (yes, there is one). He owns a modest home and is living off his small savings. Sleepless in FL, thank you

i have been wondering, if they are part of the people, meaning they work in the police, hospitals, schools...etc how could you know who is a terrorist and who isnt in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. lately i have felt very bad for all the trageties that enocent people are facing in Iraq and Aghanistan. i have heard that thousands of them have been beheaded as part of a training for the terrorists so that one day they may do it to us in europe and America. how can we stop these people and put thier savage souls to an end?
my mate showed me this video and i just cant get it out of my head, its driving me crazy to think that people are treated like that, how could humans do this to each other. if this is a war against christians why are they killing thier own muslim people. why do some people think we should get out of Iraq right now and leave them just like that. have you seen those video, i will advice you not to, they have a very bad impact on your brain.

AP Story: "A top Taliban commander said al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was behind the February attack outside a U.S. military base in Afghanistan during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney, according to an interview shown Wednesday by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera. Bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the Bagram base while Cheney was there, said Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's main military commander in southern Afghanistan who has had close associations with al-Qaida."
