President Bush's war in Iraq faces growing opposition from those who are on the front lines: soldiers, their families and veterans, including high-ranking officers.

A bipartisan poll published by Business Week in December showed approval for the president at a mere 36 percent among soldiers, their families and veterans.

"I think the American people were conned into this [war]," said retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni, a Bush supporter in 2000. Zinni, who was chief of U.S. operations in the Middle East until three years ago, also charged the administration with failing to plan an occupation that would rebuild Iraq, provide internal stability and advance democracy.

1. Why did we start the war in Iraq.

2. Who won the first season of American Idol.

I'm guessing 30% get 1. correct and 90% get 2. correct.

are becoming more aggressive and narcissistic? It seems like parents are not teaching their children how to respect authority, to help the elderly, etc. Parents are taught to negotiate with their kids instead of disciplining them. Most teachers I know are simply working toward retirement and no longer enjoy teaching because kids are so misbehaved.

What do you think needs to be done to help our society? Does it take a village? Would teaching the Bible in schools help? What do you think would work?

In order to help relieve the tax burden should people be taught Not to consider entitlement programs as an option? Or if considering it, should it be a last resort after asking family, friends and church for help?
I believe too many people when finding themselves in financial difficulty are too quick to run to the government.
If the government was not there as a safety net would people just give up and die or would they find another way to survive?
I say they will find another way to make it.
Should tax payers take the burden simply because someone is too prideful to ask family or church?

is it possible for a person to be arrested in oakland county but there is no record of them being arrested.Im from Michigan. I am aware that he had other warrants for him in different counties. But each place I have contacted has no record of him being there. How could I access a larger database that would know his whereabouts as it is clear that he is no where in the surrounding counties. He is not even in the county where he owes child support yet, which is Wayne. What is the procedure? Is this a usual situation, and what can I do to locate him?

Lets say I have a friend named Bobby. I let Bobby drive my car and he is not listed on my insurance policy. He also does not have a license. He gets into an accident and causes 8000 dollars in damage to another car. In court, there is a judgement of 8000 dollars that he is ordered to pay back. Bobby however dies before he is able to pay back any of the money. Can I then be sued or has the judgement already been issued? Wouldn't it be the plantiffs responsibility to recover the money from the deceased ones assets? Thanks in advance.

My boyfriend graduated as an Animal Vet major w/ a 3.35 GPA. He has lots of volunteer hours and extra curricular's...I think he has a little bit of leadership experience. He hasn't had a job in 3 years, so he cannot get a letter of recommendation from an employer. All together, he is afraid of being underqualified. Should he be searching for another job in the meantime?

Please don't answer unless you are in the Navy or your close to someone in the Navy.

In 1994 he told C-Span if the US invaded Iraq civil war would erupt, Iran and Syria would interfere and too many US lives would be lost.

In 2000 he told Tim Russert on NBC if the US invaded Baghdad, it would appear "we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world taking down governments. [Meet the Press, 8/27/00]

In the fall of 2004, the MSM repeatedly criticized Kerry for voting yes on one version of a war funding bill and no on another. Why didn't the media air these clips in time for voters to make an informed choice about Bush/Cheney?

don't get why people are so quick to believe slander or lible in this case just because it's what they want to here, it's scary to think that people are really this stupid.

go to www.youtube.com and type in Democrat Hypocrisy, and you will see Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and even Ted Kennedy saying how they believed there were WMD'S and that they thought we should go in as well as how they supported the president.

They all had the same intel so how was it a lie?

how is the war for oil, we wouldn't we have done air strikes, and would we still be fighting these people and would we care what that the insurgents are blowing up innocent woman and children if it were "just for oil"

I saw a video of terrorists who lined people up in the grass and kept shooting at them, it was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen, you think those people are right and we are wrong?

People need to put their sense of right and wrong before their politcal beliefs
