Many people believe that the U.S. might take action against Iran because they believe that Iran is building nuclear weapons.

Right now there is a carrier strike force positioned so that it could strike Iran if the White House gives the order. The US military obviously has contingency plans for this operation.

If it happens - if the US attacks Iran - how will Russia and China respond? Would they retaliate against the US?

Our fearless leader has accomplished some neat things here are just a few:
1) allowed an attack on US soil to occur
2) blamed an uninvolved nation for the attack and then invaded them
3) allowed illegal immigration to flourish, while violating US citizens personal rights via 'the patriot act'
4) blocked all attempts at universal healthcare for children
5) refuses to admit he lied to invade Iraq
6) Rigged 2000 election
7) Defends torture of US citizens held in prison on minute evidence of terror ties


This makes me think he is the worst president in history... bar none.

Republicans: Spare me your 'liberal commie liar' routine please!
Bush supporters who deny republican affiliation: I don't want to hear you blame clinton for 9/11 or say hussein caused 9/11 or had WMD's...
Everyone else I anticipate your responses...thank you for your time

Can someone provide me a source for finding this out?

I'm not interested in learning about going to jail the night one is arrested for being drunk in public, rather after one has appeared in court.

Thanks.

Alan Jones must be the most unethical Talk back radio although Steve Price may give a run for his money!

This is a SERIOUS question as I have never heard someone on radio push a politicians case so hard. So hard he didn't even mention Howards fraud in the last election rather on some minor comments by Rudd that most people wouldn't even acknowledge!

Is it right for radio personalities to be on the Liberal Party payroll?

Why doesn't the government simply restrict manufacturers to limit the top speed of cars if their intention is truly to protect us? Why do they put a restriction on us instead? Could it be because they know that people would be tempted and they would just get the revenue from it.

Why do they set the speed limit to 100k/h when they know and can actually see that pretty much everyone on the hwy (including them) drives at 120 km/h with a max of 140km/h? is it also for revenue?
If they raise the speed limit that much, things would remain pretty much the same on the hwy because regardless of what the speed limit is, the majority of people would still drive at 120km/h with a max of 130/140km/h.

Why do the Libs in America think that other countries cannot stand us? All of these countries are trending to the right because the socialist/liberals have completely messed up their countries and the society's. With a crazy amount of illegal immigration (Just like our Dems want) Social policies that strangle their federal goverments (Just like our Dems want) High taxes over 40%. Perhaps these countries "rock" bands, and entertainers like to talk trash about America. But it looks like the regular people over there have realized the liberalism is all it is cracked up to be.

While no system is perfect, one thing is obvious...Socialized medicine (government run medicine) has failed humanity at every turn. Educate yourselves. Look at Canada. Look at our European friends......They fly all over the world for proper healthcare (the ones that can afford to finance all of that traveling)....The rest stay behind, waiting and waiting for their government to help them.....Again, if this concept is new to you, please ! Educate yourself !

Is this really important? What's good of it to our daily lives? How can we benefit from it? How can it prepare for our future? How can we improve our political awareness? Through what channels?
I have all these questions and I wish someone can help me! You don't really need to follow the questions and you can suggest other things relating to this question. Thx a lot!!!!
