It seems that Britain has fallen victim to a string of terrorist attacks and terrorist attempts in the last 2 years. Amazingly though, arrests are made within days and sometimes hours of these attacks & planned attacks. Could it be because of the broader use of wire taps? Cameras on every street corner? More aggressive investigating? So what's the problem with using the same tactics here to prevent terrorst attacks BEFORE they happen? Why is it okay for Britain to employ these tactics and gain praise from the international community, while liberals BLAST our government for the implementation of Patriot Act?

If we can miserably try to liberate iraq, i think we can take care of business here. It's as easy as the INS making an unexpected trip to suspected employers, fining them and rounding up everyone who doesn't check out, isn't it? If theyd fine the employers heftily, the work would dry up and theyd leave of their own accord.

Putin is very educated and rose up through the ranks via treachery and his wit. Unlike Bush who has been handed everything on a silver platter. I bet inside he feels intimidated.

"As for Iran's domination of the Gulf, fear of that was a major argument made against going to war. If you smash the only Arab nation in the Gulf able to stand up to Persian Iran, overthrow its Sunni regime and introduce majority, i.e., Shia rule, how can Iran not be the beneficiary?

This war was not thought through. It was not only mismanaged, it was an historic strategic blunder to begin with.

Any U.S. war to overthrow Iran's enemies — the Taliban in Kabul, Saddam and his Sunni Baathists in Baghdad — cannot but result in making Iran more dominant in the Gulf when the Americans depart. By eliminating the counterweight to Iranian domination, we guaranteed that either we become that counterweight, or there is none."

(Discloser) 99.% of Police are the best men & women this country has to offer (IMO)

However, my sister marreid a police officer 15 years ago. After years of physical & emotional abuse she filed for divorce, thank God everyone has urged her to. The problem is she has been pulled over by police (his friends) around 20 times in the past 3 Months, she is never cited, they say:saftey check. She has even been pulled over right in front of her work to embarrass her. Then she has to hear a long speech why she should leaven Jim alone (court stuff). My parents still live in this town and went to the police station to complain (100% worthless), when my parents left the station they were pulled over by 3 police cars. They made them stand on the curb in 90 degree weather while they pulled everything out of their car including the spare tire...they said "saftey check", then my 78 year old father put eveything back in the car that they left on the ground (not cited). We don't trust anyone.

Pelosi lays blame for missed goals on Senate
(06-30) 04:00 PDT Washington -- The problem for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't just President Bush. It's the Senate.

Pelosi sounded more apologetic than celebratory Friday when she announced with her Senate counterpart, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democrats' list of accomplishments six months after they seized control of Capitol Hill and promised "a new direction" in Washington.

"I'm not happy with Congress, either," Pelosi, of San Francisco, conceded.

Wondering...

Lets say you stupidly lend your license plate to someone to use on their car. If they did something illegal, like drive with a suspended license or something. Would you get in trouble since your plates are under your name in the vehicle that the illegal act occurred?
If so, what would punishment be??

The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion. Is a better choice letting the female do it herself or from an untrustworthy source, like someone with no medical experience or a coat hanger? And if all lives are gifts, why is it okay to "kill" some and not others? (in your opinion).

I got the impression that both Bush and Kerry got up there and said "I can be bought with a price, who is the highest bidder??" - as long as candidates will change on a whim just to please whoever pays them the most our country is in severe trouble. We need men or women to be our leaders that have integrity - that can't be bought.


Is this just my imagination or am I reading Bush/Kerry correctly. ???

In all those commercials ranging from just a few years ago to present both for "drinking and driving" and "clicket ot ticket", I was just wondering if women have never done either of these two driving flaws. Are women perfect drivers? Has there not been a single woman behind the wheel drunk or without her seat belt on reported anywhere across the country in the last few years? The reason I ask this is because with these two different types of commercials over the past few years, all I've seen in these commercials has the been a guy behind the wheel, not a single girl. I'm a guy and I', 28 years old and I never once driven drunk or been driving without my seatbelt on.(I've been driving a slow, piece of crap 1998 white Camaro with a stinkin' 200 hp.)

In late march my boyfriend, our roomate and I were all living together in a 2bedroom apt near Milwaukee. My roomate, who I thought at that time was a really good friend, called the cops to report us for paraphenalia in our home. It was a huge drama case but to make a story short, my boyfriend was arressted first for a warrant he had for a traffic ticket. They searched the apartment. I was freaking out outside calling people I knew for help. I had never ever been involved with the cops and was scared my boyfriend was being arressted. An officer came outside and asked who the bong belonged to and (even though it was not mine) I immediately said it was. This is why: My boyfriend was currently resolving a court case for a previous possession ticket which he was on a signiture bond on and I 'took the blame' for it thinking he wouldn't get in trouble for it. However, I was also arressted and questioned and we both got two possession of paraphenalia tickets out of the situation.
