that the country would be pull together and be united? Or do you think that it would only exacerbate this bipartisan BS that seems to be the epitome of current state of the union?

And for anyone that wants to accuse me of being a terrorist, spare me. I've experienced the turmoil of 9/11 firsthand and I pray that anything of that scale never happens again on American soil.

What would have happened in WWII if we'd said "Hey, Hitler, guess what? We'll remove our forces from Europe on this date...mark it on your calendar!"

The U.S.has laws against wiretapping without warrants.

The Geneva Convention was as much a directive of the United States.

But now some feel it's Ok to use torture if your opponent uses torture.

I thought the U.S. held itself to a higher standard and was trying to promote humanitarian superiority!?!?!

What happened to our moral authority and being a shining example of the way humanity should be?!?!?!

There are many reports that women and children were also tortured and raped at Abu Ghraib.

How can anyone be proud of the Bush administration?

They have disgraced our great country!!

Why is this acceptable to some of you?

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office refused to confirm or deny reports on Thursday that Israel had allowed the delivery of up to 3,000 rifles and hundreds of thousands of bullets to the West Bank town of Jericho on Thursday.

Israel, the U.S. and its Quartet partners (the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations) as well as Egypt and Jordan are working to bolster Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction on the West Bank following the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip last month.

Some public schools and universities are granting Muslim requests for prayer times, prayer rooms and ritual foot baths, prompting a debate on whether Islam is being given preferential treatment over other religions.
The University of Michigan at Dearborn is planning to build foot baths for Muslim students who wash their feet before prayer. An elementary school in San Diego created an extra recess period for Muslim pupils to pray.

At George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Muslim students using a "meditation space" laid out Muslim prayer rugs and separated men and women in accordance with their Islamic beliefs.

TRIPOLI, Libya (Reuters) -- After agreeing to nuclear cooperation with Libya, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the West should trust Arab states to develop such technology for peaceful purposes or risk a war of civilizations.

France agreed on Wednesday to help Libya develop a nuclear reactor to supply drinking water from desalinated sea water. The reactor might be supplied by French atomic energy firm Areva.

I just received my first ever speeding ticket the other day. The officer clocked me at 61 MPH in a 45 MPH zone.

I didn't say much to the officer....I was really stunned that it was happening to me. I had been driving from out of state ALL day and was JUST about to turn onto my street when I was stopped.

I'm really a safe driver, and have never even had an accident (knock on wood!). I pride myself on my responsibility (lame, I know), and I've been beating myself up about this.

I'm too ashamed to tell friends. I feel like a criminal, to tell the truth. I haven't even called to see how much this will cost.

It's silly, but I've been crying about this!

It's too late to try & "get out of it." Right? How does this effect my "record" and insurance?

Thanks for the help.

Keith Olbermann - probably take them to a ball game and then to some type of amusement park afterwards.

Rush Limbaugh - probably fly them out to the Dominican Republic and get them to hustle up some underage pro.stitutes and some oxy.

Which one would you trust them with?

CIBC in Ontario Canada yesterday released a report stating that when Ontario shuts down it's coal fired hydro plants in 2009, the average hydro bill will increase 70%. This is due to the fact that Ontario is not constructing any new generating facilities.

Is this what we have to look forward too? Environmentalists are against Nuclear power, garbage incineration and the coal plants, so what are we supposed to do?
A 70% increase would devastate my family as I'm sure it would many others and only increase the gap between the rich and the poor that Liberals are always screaming about. Thanks Al Gore! Enjoy your private Jet.
