One can help the community in his own ways. Entering the government is a popular way of doing it, though people highly doubt that it is their main motive especially high officials. Others, particularly the rich, choose to be away from the government and from politics. They help the community in their own ways by using their resources, their money.

Who is better? The one who is in the government (not rich) or the rich man? Why?

Moreover, others, though rich, still enter the government. What do you think is the reason for this?

Did voters stop trusting the democrats on national security because they got us into the Vietnam war or because they wanted to get us out? How will the war in Iraq effect the Republicans national security advantage over the next several decades.

All these people who are so called americans have taken for granted all the freedoms and liberties that are given to you all without realizing what freedom really is. Why are you all (mostly anglo/white americans) upset with illegal immigrants that are coming here. You all should have stopped this along time ago. I have read most of these blogs and everyone seems to think they are really intelligent by giving thier own opinion on the matter. It really confusing to say in this country we speak ENGLISH, but whos to say that in 100 years? If white people would quit taking thier anger with the mexicans/hispanics for the problems you all are facing today, you need to blame the government. You are all powerless to do so because no one has enough power to change that but the government. Dont take this out on the poor immigrants you need to stop it at the source. Dont turn this into a race card again. Get on your goverment to change this not the powereless immigants. Remember all we are getting is the poorest of mexico thats coming. Even in Mexico the white spaniards run all the government offices and media.Please learn from history's past and know that all empires and democracies dont last forever. We keep taking life and liberty for granted time and time again. There are bigger fish to fry like terrorism and China. Get back to what matters most is the survival of what america truly means.

Should he be able to use the defense that he is following orders?

I say no. It is contradictory to the Nuremburg and Tokyo War Crimes Tribuneral. So why is it that U.S. soldiers used it successfully for the My Lai Massacre? This isn't a anti-American question, it just happens that this incident is what popped in my mind.

How can justice be served to protect those innocent from further future attrocities? How can the military improve so that this can't happen again?

I know that you can't leave the OSUT training when you're going to be enlisted after you graduate, but what about the normal training? My boyfriend is doing MOS training at the moment, and I just recently found out that I'm pregnant. I can't even talk to him about it, and the situation has gotten to the point that he really wants to come home. He's not joining the army right now, he's just training now in case of enlistment later. So, can he come home? Or would that still be considered a felony?

It is estimated that there are around 12,000 prisoners in UK jails. The total cost per year to keep ONE prisoner in jail, could be as high as £49,220. Figures from the Centre for Criminal and Justice Studies, which includes the cost of dependent families, even if you discount dependents, the figure is £37,500.
The obvious question to you, UK taxpayers, as it`s your money not the Governments, is WHY?
Can you think of any good reasons why we do not deport non-UK citizens when found guilty of a crime?
Surely non-UK citizens are not our problem are they?

If something is true, what else Must also be true?
I think people Typically Do this In Day to Day Life, and Not Controversial.
The Thing is, people that Present Themselves as an Authority, Are Regularly Believed, In Spite of the Above. The Point is if Someone Seen as an Authority is Unable to Point to a Legitimate Basis of There Beliefs, they Are No Better than a Priest, Witchdoctor, Fake or Liar.

These masers can kill every living thing apart from leaving areas contaminated with poisons. The government know it is happening but wont admit or do anything about it. If anyone like myself protests they say you are crazy.Find out what I am talking about on the (mind control in the UK ) page.

Truth is an important part of government? So would that mean that all our secrets have to be laid bare to everyone? Or is it more about being truthful with the people about the day to day management of the country? There should be somethings which are afforded a level of secrecy so they can operate; for instance; the intelligence community, some aspects of policing, what else?

When I read about Prava's disclosure, I went through various web sites. Same story everywhere but no authenticity. To believe something, some government has to speak but all governments are either silent or take no firm position whether it is issue of aliens in space or U.F.O.'s. I'm not able to understand this attitude as such posing this question. My question is to both the governments of U.S.A & U.S.S.R. Will their authorized spoke person respond to this question. My question is to general public too for some logical explanation to the silence of these two governments.
