Zalmay Khalilzad, US Ambassador to the United Nations, in an interview given to an Austrian newspaper, was quoted as saying,

"Europe was just as dysfunctional for a while. And some of its wars became world wars. Now the problems of the Middle East and Islamic civilization have the same potential to engulf the world,"

Do you believe that the problems we are facing in the Middle East could cause the next world war?

How have the Americans managed to be so completely outwitted by despot in a third world country (Ahmedinejad)?

THANK YOU George Bush for making the Americans look so ridiculous.

Is it fair that we went to go kick the crap out of some small country unrelated to 911?
Is it fair that the American public was repeatedly led to believe that Iraq somehow had something to do with 911?
Bush said "I never said it was related"?
Is this a big bald faced lie?

I can't believe people are willing to allow government to take over our private sector health-care..the best in the world. Yes we have people who have no insurance yet we have more people insured at ANY time in out history, in 1950 only 22% of people had insurance, in 1965 it was 35%, in 1975 it was 41%, today it's over 79% of people with insurance. Some seem to be so willing to allow our bankrupt federal government who can't even deliever the mail correctly run our health-care...a whopping 1/7th of the economy. Yes there are many that don't have insurance, children that need it that fall between the cracks....to rich to get free insurance and too poor to buy it...we are closing that gap...but if that's your argument...can we list lot's of other things the poor dont have, food, clothing, car insurance...the list is endless....why throw the baby out with the bath water...MR. GOVERNMENT my Health-Care is NONE of your business........KEEP-OUT!!


do you agree

It seems that when you look at the great civilizations throughout history, they've all fallen because of problems within (like a rotten apple core). What do you think is the greatest threat to the United States? Is it liberalism, socialism, conservatives, or radical Islam? Should we be concerned about the moral decline of our nation? Should we be concerned about how our children are more violent and exposed to drugs etc at younger and younger ages? What do you think of all this?

Why did Bin Laudins get to be the only ones to fly in the 911 aftermath? Who owns controling interest in domniate multinational corporations (TV Networks, Media Corps, commercial trade)?
Who runs American shipping ports?
Who are tight buddies with Bush?
Dick, too- where is haliburton's Main Office?

What's wrong with this picture?

There are two arguments, I don't understand, for to stay the course.
1. We have to win?
2. If we don't win, the Terrorists will come to the USA?
Why, what for and wasn't 9/11 just a miserable failure of our none existing security in airports.

I just want to know opinions on the CCW laws. Do you agree citizens should have the right to carry concealed? Why or why not? I 'm in Missouri & we are newer to CCW. I have always had a small handgun of my own just for self protection at home. I do feel it is our right to CCW within the law, then again I hear many are against guns of any type for any reason & all they can say is "guns kill people". Do they not realize even if guns were illegal for everyone, the criminals would be the only ones with guns? I recently got my permit to CCW & didn't want to take the class an an only woman so I ask a few friends to go with me & was amazed that about 25% had already got permit & were carrying 24/7 basically & the ones that didn't want to CCW were so against guns in general, they said they "didn't want to hear it". Amazed again in class with about 75% of the class was women.

If they fight 50 / 50 chance they die. If they won't fight they are
hanged, drowned, shot or killed in other ways. They get no
brakes to rest. nothing to kill the pain. Not even a drink of
water. They often get dumped beside the road dead or too
chewed up to even crawl. If we have a hart then we all hate
that correct?
Now one more question. What is your stand on abortion?
Are ALL of our harts where they should be. Do we really have
our priority in order. Is needles killing in any form not wrong?
What do you think? Thanks in advance.
