Politics & Government - 8 July 2007

(Unless of course there is a draft which will never happen).

So no matter if you are the most patriotic pro-war hawk or a cut & run anti-war lib, the best that the US military can do in Iraq is contain it, which is basically what Bush #1 & Clinton did.

And the US military can do that w/o having to get blow up by IEDs, w/o having to try & train an inadequate Iraqi army & w/o having to add more US troops on the ground.

So would anyone like to tell me why we need a Bush "surge" that will only just stir up the hornets nest in Iraq even more?

Oh & if your concerned about the terrorists in Iraq, the Iraqi Shiites & Kurds (who hate Al Qaeda as much as you do) will take care of them.

Or would you rather have 20 more Bush type inadequate "surges" over the next 25 years or more?

Before an election, instead of two years before an election.

Really, the election cycles are getting longer, and longer. As soon as one ends, another begins.

This is just a theory, but tell me if this makes sense. Pro-illegals claim that if the US deported all illegal immigrants, then companies would be forced to pay minimum wage to citizens, which would in turn make prices rise. But if the US hypothetically gave all illegal immigrants citizenship overnight, wouldn't it have the same effect? The companies who hire them would have to pay them minimum wage, would they not?

He said if it were found out that he could get in trouble. Is this true? Is it something like no gays in the military? Why does your sex life matter if it doesn't involve your work? Just to avoid any catty answer's, HE is the TOP, I'm the submissive.

In my opinion, it would be difficult to find a less suitable one. Apart from Iraq and Afghanistan and his slavish support for the Saudi dictatorship, can a man who can afforf a £3.6 million house, be able to talk with people who've been homeless for nearly 60 years?
My nomination is Jean- Bertrand Aristide, the former president of Haiti, who was kidnapped in a US-backed coup and exiled to South Africa. The brief for the Envoy job mentions "development", and Aristide made this his priority, concentrating on education for the poor. Aristide is also an ex-priest, sacked by right-wing elements in the Catholic Church. The Middle East is the Holy Land, whose tendency towards religious sectarianism has baffled outsiders since Pontius Pilate. Aristide's religious background should be useful.

The operating agreements provided that "no Member shall be accountable to the [LLC] or to any other Member with respect to [any other] business or activity even if the business or activity competes with the [LLC's] business." The Westbury group entered into agreements with other parties to develop additional parcels within the tract in competition with the Bellemeade LLC. The Stokers filed a suit in a Georgia state court against the Westbury group, alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty. What duties do the members of an LLC owe to each other? Under what principle might the terms of an operating agreement alter these duties? In whose favor should the court rule? Discuss.

In George W. Bush's January 29, 2002 State of the Union Address, Iraq, Iran and North Korea were labeled as the Axis of Evil. At the time both Iran and North Korea were working with Nuclear Weapons Programs. Iran had been supporting terrorism since the 80's. So out of the three countries that make up the Axis of Evil we invaded Iraq. Wouldn't it have been a better plan to go after Iran instead of invading Iraq?

Should children be allowed to pass out fliers expressing their freedom of religion in public schools if it is done during non-instructional time such as recess or on the bus? Why or why not? Remember that, if Christians have the right, everyone else does too.

Does a school endorse any particular religion by allowing students to distribute their own fliers about it? Why or why not?

What impact do you think fliers conveying a religious message would have when compared to other forms of religious expression like clothing or jewelry? More, less, or the same? How?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but WAR sometimes is the answer. Without armies fighting wars there would be anarchy. Nobody has found a way to replace the modern nation state with an army prepared to defend her sovereignty. The military is the preeminent legal authority upon which all of our institutions and laws are founded. Perhaps Posse Comitatus has confused you into believing you don't need a military? Let me know.
