I would like to hear your "rational-intelligent" view point what will happen to Iraq and the entire middle east region if the U.S. pulls it's military out as some want by March 2008.

1. How will this effect the terrorist?
2. What would this say to the people of Iraq who want fredom & democracy?
3. Would this help America postion on the war against terror?

All the time I hear about a Womens right to choose what happens to her body but I never hear about a persons right to end their life.

So the Women has the right to kill the life inside them but not kill themselves. Go figure.

In many cases people wish to end their life with dignity but can not, why?

Remember in the 2004 presidential election when George Soros pumped more than $200 million aggregate into campaign ads and 521 groups and accomplished very close to zero (except to let us know he was there)?

I wonder if the massive Clinton fund raising machine will do the same thing in 2008?

Wouldn't you love to see a billion dollars pumped into the advertising industry by liberals, and then see Fred Thompson drop a total of $5 million and win based on his quality, not on flooding the air waves with character assassination?

I remember reading several articles about them a year or so ago. Even saw some articles in the Jewish newspaper "Haaretz'..
Why don't we hear about them?

Seems that practically every liberal post these days is more of a hateful statement, as opposed to a legitimate question or answer. Who do they think they will impress with their hate? More importantly, what causes them to stoop to hate rather than debate? It only serves to denigrate them and their political allies.
Hmmm, my money says that I will get a few hate filled "answers" on this one.

Thanks for any intelligent answers. I believe there are reasonable good people on both sides on the debate of Iraq. With that said here is my question:

In your judgement while evaluating the motives of President Bush on his decision to invade Iraq I would like hear from you of the posssible motives he harbors to do such a thing.

We all agree Saddam was a very bad man, rape rooms, torture chambers that would make the Nazi's cringe. He has used wmd's against his own people and his own people. 112 scientist that escaped Iraq all say he had or was working on massive WMD's, 67 nations went on record to say the same thing. If Bush knew all of this was a lie, he risked his name, his Presidency, his legacy for something he knew was a lie. He had to fool the world to believe something that he KNEW we would find out was a lie when we found NO WMD's.

Please explain in a rational way his possible motives for starting the war in Iraq?

Thanks for any responses!!

.
more than they arleady have??
What happened to the "coalition?" how many countries are left 'fighting' the 'war' on terror in Iraq? We hear all about US troop deaths and injuries. As much as they want us to know that is. And we hear about a few British.
But what happened to the rest. Have those that supported Bush decided that enough is enough?

hear me out before you close out thought because I am going to use the words troop withdrawal... but that won't be all I say.

Set a withdrawal date for 1.5 years and set Benchmarks that we feel the Iraqi's need in reasonable time frames.. failure to meet a benchmark takes 3 months off of that 1.5 years.. if a benchmark is met the Iraqi's may opt for a 3 month extension of troops, monetary reimbursement or whatever else may seem appropriate based on the benchmark.

You can't predict a set in stone withdrawal date.. it puts it on the Iraqi's to get things done and it pushes for us to get out in a reasonable time frame... so.. thoughts?

American people are overwhelmingly supporting a troop pull-back, but repulicans who voted to support the funding bill were called traitors?

Is it more important to "betray" the people or the party? If the republican party is not speaking for the people, who is it speaking for? The previllege "upper class" group?

My brother passed, he was a single male and living in an apartment. My mother has recieved money from his 401k and two different insurance companies. now does she have to pay off any debts with that money? or should it be taken right out of his estate? the debts are two credit cards, one car, and funeral costs. the car dealer took the car and said if they dont get the full 8000 from auctioning it they'll charge her the difference. "can they do that?" so the biggest question is that after my mother recieved the 401k, and insurance monies can they come after her? she is not co-signed on anything, but is the benficary.

Or perhaps President Bush does not think that the Iraqi cause is important enough to personally fight for.

Should foreigners (non-citizens) be allowed to come onto US soil and publicly burn our flag, vocally advocate the overthrow of our government and its leaders, denegrate our society, and enjoy protection of free speech rights, the same as US citizens?

So now this wacky government has agreed to allow Muslims to hold their own law courts. What is happening to this country?
Do you agree they should hold their own courts of law? Why are we falling over our selves to be "nice" to these people.Why don't they get on with it like the rest of the people and abide by our rules, and no I am not racist.

My husband works for a prominent Fortune 500 Co. and works 50+ hours a week. He is salaried, considered management though no-one works below him, 10-12 hour days, sometimes w/o a lunch break are the norm.
He is the top performer in his dept. and has the Company reviews to prove it.
My husband shrugs and says "they can do whatever they want"
Is this true?
Is this legal?
Does my husband have any recourse, legal or otherwise?
Does he have a future of unfair wages & bloodshot eyes?

in the egyptian constitution it states that "the president shall not dissolve the people's assembly [egyptian parlement] unless it is necessary...." i.e the president can dissolve the parliment. so can the president of the US do the same? if not who can the people?
thank you
