I am doing a paper on national security, specifically what the policy was just prior to and just after 9/11. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good info on PRE-9/11 policy?
Thanks.

Hopeful, Democrat party wins election to bring peace to world. Specifically, Hussein Obama should be elected to bring world peace and hapiness. He is a pioneer of tommorrow and will save world for many crimes done by Bush and co. Hillary is also a new pioneer to lead this country, and praise, she may also get elect. I proud you if you vote any two of these. However, I proud you more if you vote Hussein Obama.

It is not just in Iraq that the political Left has an investment in failure. Domestically as well as internationally, the Left has long had a vested interest in poverty and social malaise.
The old advertising slogan, “Progress is our most important product,” has never applied to the Left. Whether it is successful black schools in the United States or third-world countries where millions of people have been rising out of poverty in recent years, the left has shown little interest.
Progress in general seems to hold little interest for people who call themselves “progressives.” What arouses them are denunciations of social failures and accusations of wrongdoing.
One wonders what they would do in heaven.
We are in no danger of producing heaven on earth but there have been some remarkable developments in some third-world countries within the past generation that have allowed many very poor people to rise to a standard of living that was never within their reach before.
The August 18 issue of the distinguished British magazine The Economist reveals the economic progress in Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American nations that has given a better life to millions of their poorest citizens.
Some of the economic policies that have led to these results are discussed in The Economist but it is doubtful that members of the political left will stampede there to find out what those policies were.
They have shown no such interest in how tens of millions of people in China and tens of millions of people in India have risen out of poverty within the past generation.
Despite whatever the left may say, or even believe, about their concern for the poor, their actual behavior shows their interest in the poor to be greatest when the poor can be used as a focus of the Left's denunciations of society.
When the poor stop being poor, they lose the attention of the Left. What actions on the part of the poor, or what changes in the economy, have led to drastic reductions in poverty seldom arouse much curiosity, much less celebration.
This is not a new development in our times. Back in the 19th century, when Karl Marx presented his vision of the impoverished working class rising to attack and destroy capitalism, he was disappointed when the workers grew less revolutionary over time, as their standards of living improved.
At one point, Marx wrote to his disciples: “The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing.”
Think about that. Millions of human beings mattered to him only in so far as they could serve as cannon fodder in his jihad against the existing society.
If they refused to be pawns in his ideological game, then they were “nothing.”
No one on the left would say such things so plainly today, even to themselves. But their actions speak louder than words.
Blacks are to the Left today what the working class were to Marx in the 19th century — pawns in an ideological game.
Blacks who rise out of poverty are of no great interest to the Left, unless the way they do so is by attacking society.
The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits since 1994 but the Left has shown no more interest in why that is so than they have shown in why many millions of people have risen out of poverty in Latin America or in China and India.
Where progress can be plausibly claimed to be a result of policies favored by the left, then such claims are made.
A whole mythology has grown up that the advancement of minorities and women in America is a result of policies promoted by the Left in the 1960s. Such claims are often based on nothing more substantial than ignoring the history of the progress made prior to 1960.
Retrogressions in the wake of the policies of the 1960s are studiously ignored — the runaway crime rates, the disintegration of black families, and the ghetto riots of the 1960s that have left many black communities still barren more than 40 years later.
Whatever does not advance the Left agenda is “nothing.”

With all the illegal immigration and decline seen in the USA over the past 7 years, do you think that they will be a Third World country soon? The UK is already halfway there too. Are the Chinese destined to take over after the US becomes weaker?

I mean it's inevitable that the world will eventually become one country with one government. People will be citizens of a democratic world without borders. So why are people so nationalistic and reluctant to accept the fact that this will happen someday?

Thank god Bush is donig the right thing and fighting hard so that these lazy children won't get their medicines that could save their lives! Its obvious to all republicans that if you aren't born into a rich familiy you deserve to die anyway!!
Obviously we need to save as much tax revenue as we can to waste (i mean invest) in bombs and bullets for a bunch of muslims on the other side of the world! Obviously only Bush has his priorities set!
And just so you know, this is about personal responsibility, if these kids can't get health care, they should get a job like the rest of us! Damn lazy socialists, with their "I wan't to see my 18th birthday, bleeding heart BS!!"

America isn't that stupid.
The corruption shows through even as recently as with the choice to use Diebold (Premier Election Solutions) machines at the Iowa straw poll. When the machines broke down, they chose to fix it and waste 2 hours instead of just doing a hand count because they didn't want the truth showing Ron Paul as winning that straw poll.
That would have given him National coverage as a winner and they couldn't have that!
But thats alright - he won Alabama in a landslide
Tom Tancredo - 0 (0%)
Sam Brownback - 2 (.75%)
John McCain - 2 (.75%)
Mike Huckabee - 6 (2%)
Rudy Giuliani - 7 (3%)

Duncan Hunter - 10 (4%)
Mitt Romney - 14 (5%)

Some religous extreme right wingers are going to be very upset in 2008!

regardless of why we are in Iraq, we are there now and for those who want immediate withdrawal to save iraqi lives, do you think the average iraqi will be better off with Iran's influence taking charge in Iraq? or do you think Iraq will be free from Iran's influence? please state a thoughtful civil answer as i am attempting to find a consensus of thoughts.

Washington DC – An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, analysis, and data error discoveries in the last several months has prompted scientists to declare that fear of catastrophic man-made global warming “bites the dust” and the scientific underpinnings for alarm may be “falling apart.” The latest study to cast doubt on climate fears finds that even a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide would not have the previously predicted dire impacts on global temperatures. This new study is not unique, as a host of recent peer-reviewed studies have cast a chill on global warming fears.

The female captain didn't even get in trouble even though fraternization is considered criminal in the military. Her leadership swept it under the rug and didn't hold her accountable. She has no integrity, either. She was rewarded an got an assignment to Alaska and took their illegitimate child with her. The enlisted E7 is a deadbeat Dad to his other child he had with another enlisted member, but plays father of the year with the captain's child. The enlisted parent of his first child attempted to have an at home DNA test done, but E7 refused, so enlisted parent got a court order DNA test done to prove he was the child' father. No DNA test done on the Captain' child because it would prove fraternization and they both would get kicked out. The E7 who is about to retire claims the captain's child though.The Captain also got chlamydia from the E7 when she went for her 6 week checkup. Is this trifling or what for a military officer to still be able to serve when she broke the law?
