Politics & Government - 6 November 2007

In 1939, FDR issued a plea that all combatant nations refrain from bombing because he saw it as a bad thing.

But, in 1943 FDR started to bomb civilians. Over 600,000 moms, kids, and babies would die in Germany.

"Bomb shelters turned into ovens and roasted persons inside, so that rescue workers days later found the bodies seared together in an indistinguishable mass; the molten asphalt of the streets engulfed those who fled the burning buildings."

Why did FDR burn to death 600,000 Germans and a million or so Japanese?

Is it odd how Dems focus on waterboarding?

He is reading it out loud on the House floor as I type this question.

House Resolution (H.R.) 333 contains articles of impeachment against VP Cheney.

As the charges are being read, I am wondering if Cheney will be held accoutable for the MANY quotes Kucinich is reading where Cheney KNOWINGLY lied to the American ppl, Congress and the press.

2007 is the deadliest year so far for US servicepeople in iraq. Obviously the surge is as much of a failure as the rest of this ill-conceived war.
how long will conservatives keep their heads in the sand and ignore reality while Americans continue to die? when will the republican start supporting our troops?

I have two kids by the same man. I have always had them other than an occasional weekend when I would let their dad have them. He has never paid child support although he was told to by the state. No job, does drugs, no house ect. But I have never filed for legal custody as he only calls about every six months so I wasn't worried. Well, the other day he showed up at my sons school and told him only a few more days and they would be together for good. So I am wondering what rights do I/He have? In Missouri by the way!!

Sorry, Im writing a paper on it.
In his second term he was impeached by the U.S. House [9], but was subsequently acquitted by the United States Senate and remained in office to complete his term.[10] - Wikepedia.
So you must be impeached by both house and senate? And did he have the right to stay if impeached by house and senate?

Just heard on the news that plans have been unveiled for the closure of 65 post office branches in the north west and on the tv they're promoting the post office so what's the point on promoting post offices when they're getting shut down? Pretty stupid really...

Conservatives claim to follow good and state that liberals dont follow god and need to rethink their ways. However the things conservatives do questions me. One example of this is that they claim to be religious yet support the death penalty and tougher laws for other crimes instead of believing in some type of punishment but reform. They also tend to support vigilante justice but is contradicting themselves. They tend to be less open minded of people of different ethnicities and cultures. Also alot of them are in the closet like we dont know about such as senator larry craig but vote against gay issues in the public and speak against gays.

Several folks answered my last question stating that the enemy is beheading people and killing by suicide bombers so we should not be bound by restrictions in how we treat prisoners or detainees or combatants.

What do you think?
