I have just read the news release on how lives could have been saved at VT. It talked about earlier warnings and communcations. It does not say anything about people taking control of the situration. Are we American just passive lambs wanting the government to do everything for us? Or, should we be more active and pro-active with the challenges we face?

unless you call 5 out of 18 a success

The Associated Press has learned the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, will report that at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks to measure the surge of U.S. troops to Iraq are unfulfilled ahead of a Sept. 15 deadline.

i expect better results than what we've had in almost 5 years

I'm very VERY keen on joining the army, but I was then made aware of the fact that people who have severe food allergies (such as nut allergies or anaphylaxis) cannot join the army full stop, i'm only really interested in the army reserve, so should I lie and just avoid any food im given with nuts? will I even get passed the medical? or is it not worth the risk?

students and faculty to carry firearms? If people have a concealed handgun carry license, and were allowed to carry their handguns on campus, would this have saved more lives?

Hi am Latino & American. Why Caucasians Americans they are calling us Hispanics (criminals or Cartels?) And why Caucasians are calling Arabic's people are Terrorist? Ok let of us be professionals & let of us talk like human beings. First of all, in my life of personal experience, I think "some" Caucasians Americans are the most racist,judgmental & misunderstanding people that I have experience.

Ok my family they came to the U.S. for a better life & to survive. Because my parents they don't make enough. We could have choose to live to Canada or Spain but, we prefer America. Mexicans are NOT the only ones to comes to America illegally ? And Mexicans they do NOT come across the border with caring RPG,Russian AK-47, or Suicide boomer's like boarders of Israeli or Lebanon. Yes there are drug trafficking promblem & which happens around the globe & even London! What makes you guys perfect anyways & think that U.S. has perfect country?

I am not trying to argue. I am just tired of it!!!

Hi there, I am writing a short story about this purely for my own entertainment with a mercenary squad (made up primarily of British and Commonwealth ex-Soldiers) attempting a coup over the British government...obviously details aren't going to be wholly accurate, but if you were to stage a coup would Westminster be the focus of the action?

Thanks

The exposure of conservative TV evangelist Ted Haggard as a meth using customer of male prostitutes, and of conservative representative Mark Foley for sending sexually suggestive e mails to his young male staffers, as well as over 200 mysterious visits by male prostitute Jeff Guckert (pretending to be a journalist named Gannon) to the White House have unquestionably hurt the GOP. Many commentators think the closeted gay scandals have marked the GOP's stance of pro-family traditional morality as hypocrisy and crass political opportunitism. Many feel the scandals hurt the GOP in the 2006 elections.

Do you think the charges of political opportunism and hypocrisy are valid? Is this embarassing case another black eye for the Republican Party, that will hurt its chances in 2008?

Lastly, why does it seem that so many conservatives seem to be closeted gays? Is that a valid observation, or mere coincidence? Whats your opinion, and why?

Associated Press has learned the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, will report that at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks to measure the surge of U.S. troops to Iraq are unfulfilled ahead of a Sept. 15 deadline. That's when Bush is to give a detailed accounting of the situation eight months after he announced the policy, according to three officials familiar with the matter.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the report has not been made public, also said the administration is preparing a case to play down the findings, arguing that Congress ordered the GAO to use unfair, "all or nothing" standards when compiling the document.

The GAO is to give a classified briefing about its findings to lawmakers on Thursday. It is not yet clear when its unclassified report will be released but it is due Sept. 1 amid a series of assessments called for in January legislation that authorized Bush's plan to send 30,000 more troops to Iraq, where there is now a total of more than 160,000 troops.

Among those Bush will hear from are the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Defense Secretary Robert Gates; the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus; and the U.S. ambassador to Iraq,
