Was the outcome of the Cuban missile crisis a victory for the USA or USSR? Could it have been a victory for both sides?
Or was it a stalemate?
Please no short 'The USA won' answers.
Thank you.

I don't know about everyone else but I think we are pretty much screwed no matter who is chosen.Hilary sounds so fake.Plus I had no idea she supported the war.I support the troops 100% but not their unfair and senseless deaths.Oback is just there to get his name in the spotlight.What a glory hog!I don't know any of the others but I have seen them.I don't think it will be any better when Bush leaves.The only good thing I think this will bring our country is a President who can at least spell!

Why do we still use Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with very little diversity both ethnically and politically? These two little states are put in charge with essentially choosing who become the nominees for president. This doesn't work for anybody. The Republicans will get killed by Iowa where the bible-thumping, war-mongering conservatives will pick a candidate who has NO CHANCE at winning in November. But most of all the voters lose, since so many states have NO SAY in who becomes the party nominee.

Can anybody explain this?

As global warming sets in, the polar ice cap is receding fast. Scientists reckon that by the end of the century the entire Arctic Ocean could be open water for the first time since prehistory, uncovering potentially vast reservoirs of oil and natural gas—perhaps a quarter of the world's undiscovered reserves, according to a study from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Is calling a Republican a Neo-Con Like calling a Democrat a Liberal. To some people the term liberal has become a negative and they prefer to be called progressive. Has the term neo-con become the same thing?

All that appeasement of Muslims really paid off, didn't it?
4,000 PEOPLE A WEEK TRYING TO LEAVE UK
Sunday August 5,2007
Michael Knapp, Home Affairs Editor

BRITAIN is facing a mass exodus of people looking to escape the crime and grime of modern living. The country's biggest foreign visa consultancy firm has revealed that applications have soared in the last seven months by 80 percent.

And many cite their reason for wanting to quit as immigration to these shores – and the burden it is placing on their communities and local authorities. The dearth of good schools, spiralling house prices, rising crime and tax increases are also driving people away. "Ironically, one of the main reasons for leaving is the overstretch of services due to increasing immigration into the UK. People are looking for the better standard of living offered by other countries, as even the most idyllic villages in Britain are under pressure from rising populations.

a drug conspiracy case never went to trial. The accused was being charged with conspiracy to distribute, but pleaded guilty to possession. This was the lesser charge. He was told by his lawyer to plead guilty.He received three 3years probation. Are there other cases like these, and is it legal for federal court to reopen the case?
