Why is Japan judged to be a victim country, when they simply came in second in an arms race?

Frankly, I put Hillary's qualifications in the same league as Dumbya's.
Both made it on the reputation of an ex-President in the family who has all the power and connections.
That's not a good league for America to be getting its leaders from.
As for Hillary - how can she claim to be experienced?
She has been an elected official for 6 years, with zero executive experience ever running anything.
So-called (by her) "naive", "green" Barak Obama has been an elected official for 10 years.
And her leadership?
She is best known for two things: her disasterous health care fiasco, and her disasterous Iraq vote.

Honestly, I think there are literally thousands of people who are more qualified to be President than her.

I know this question has probably already been asked but I would really like some serious answers on this subject. I recently had to cancel all my credit cards and everything because there was suspicious activity on my accounts and even though I don't know for sure yet that it was done by an illegal I have good reasons to suspect that it was. What a hassle all of this is. I get so frustrated with them getting everything for free and not speaking english and then we have to pay for it all through the taxes. Please don't blame G.W. this problem has been ongoing for way longer than that.

ok, so I have an ex boyfriend who treated me like **** and put me through a lot. I know, it happens to everyone, but this was really bad. I need to know just how bad it has to be in order to sue the **** out of him. I actually went to therapy and stuff about it. Also, I wanted to know if I could get him in trouble, because he's living in Virginia with a bunch of his friends who are underage and his mother doesn't want to do anything about it. We live in PA. They drink and do drugs all the time. I wanna know if there's any way I could get them in trouble without his mother's help, maybe make him move back. *** I am not looking for a lecture, I'm looking for someone who knows something about the law. And yes I want revenge, so what? And yes I know I should be over him, but I'm not, and I don't care what anyone has to say about that. ***

If you are a lawyer is it hard to get a job as a public defender (assuming you have a "clean" record)? What is the average salary/pay for a public defender? Any information pertaining to public defenders would be great.

You see, folks. We've already ben through a fuel crisis, and we went from big boat-like cars in the 60's, and early seventies, to gas eficient cars in the late 70's and early eighties. And then crept in the SUV. And it's popularity grew, and grew, until 911. Do you not see the cycle that the capitalists use to scare/sell 'new' products?

All to many posts from females talk about how men do not like Hillary because she is a woman. Nothing could be further from the truth for most men. The reason not to like her is her socialist agenda. One need go no further. It is not a gender issue.

Looked like he was having some trouble there. Or maybe it was just that he didn't want to actually be a President, he'd rather read children's books.

When it's a plain as the nose on your face? Hell even one of your own has this to say: “Congressional Democrats have had a pretty strong quarter,” said Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.), who praised [the legislation expanding SCHIP] as “creative” and suggested the homeland security bill would pass overwhelmingly. “The first quarter was not so good, and that’s why they’re not looking so good in the polls, but this quarter is looking very good for them. They can send their members home crowing about their accomplishments, and they’ve done it in a bipartisan way, which is exactly what they promised to do,” LaHood said.

I know I'm young but I'm very patriotic and this is something I have wondered for a while. There have been less than 4,000 deaths of Americans in Iraq and everyone is saying how terrible the war is, how we should pull out (in my opinion that would make the war a complete waste we should finish the job), and I have even heard people comparing it to Vietnam. Vietnam had over 50,000 soldiers killed in it. Vietnam had even more people opposing it than the war in Iraq so it would seem people would be grateful we arn't fighting a war were we are losing 4,000 soldiers in a month or two. So how is it that in 30-40 years so many people forgot what it takes to win a war?

I'm sure you can find stats to suggest more people are helped than hurt by buckling up, but it seems to me personal liberty ought to trump societal concerns here. Maybe not buckling means more injuries meaning more taxpayer money spent on emergency services and more insurance money to be spendt on medical care, etc., but that is like grasping at straws....contact sports do the same thing, are we going to criminilize that now too, or what about eating unhealthy foods, doesn't that drive up healthcare costs for society, so why not restrict that somehow....the answer is personal liberty, which ought to reign supreme in America...and this idea that those not restrained could fly through the windshield and cause further accidents is surely less likely than a jammed seatbelt actually trapping an accident victim from escaping from a burning vehicle....Furthermore, let's be honest... the real reason states have this law is because the federal gov't will pull highway funding if they don't

Yeah, Bill Clinton deserves some of the blame for 9/11 for his actions on terrorism, and passing on chances to get Bin Laden but what about Bush?

Don't give me any crap about "he didn't have enough time." He was in office for seven and a half months before 9/11. How much time did he need? If 9/11 had been 2/11 I'd be a bit more sympathetic.

Plus, Bush's pre 9/11 actions regarding terrorism don't exactly argue in his favor.

Reducing Counterterrorism czar from a cabinet level job.

Refusing to be briefed by Counterterrorism Czar Richard Clarke, who had requested to brief him on Al-Qaeda.

Ignoring a memo that Clinton left him entitled "Strategy For Eliminating the Threat of the Jihadist Network, Al-Qaeda."

Cutting anti-terror funding.

Taking the month of August off.

Not holding any cabinet level meetings on terrorism until September 4th.

Focusing on missle defense even though the attack on the USS Cole was carried out by suicide bombers.
