This question has already been asked, but I would like to get some more responses for myself. If you have served and have been involved in a war, I would highly value your comment. If you know of anyone who has been involved in a war, would you ask them the same question and let me know? I thank you and appreciate your comments.

I saw a hearing a few months ago President Bush was not in the hot seat several young flunkies. The hearing was suppose to account to the American tax payer what the 160 billion given to Iraq was used for. It was revealed large sums of money are being investigated as missing. 8

The following representatives gave another blank check.

On Wednesday, the House voted 272-142 to give Bush another $70 billion blank check for Iraq. Our soldiers were betrayed by every House Republican except John Duncan (TN-02) and 78 Democrats: Altmire (PA-04), Baird (WA-03), Barrow (GA-12), Bean (IL-08), Berkley (NV-01), Berman (CA-28), Berry (AR-01), Bishop (GA-02), Boren (OK-02), Boucher (VA-09), Boyd (FL-02), Boyda (KS-02), Brown (FL-03), Carney (PA-10), Chandler (KY-06), Clyburn (SC-06), Cooper (TN-05), Costa (CA-20), Cramer (AL-05), Cuellar (TX-28), Davis (TN-04), Davis (AL-07), Davis (CA-53), ***** (WA-06), Dingell (MI-15), Donnelly (IN-02), Edwards (TX-17), Ellsworth (IN-08), Emanuel (IL-05), Ethee

I do not believe the Republican candidates will do what they say they will and I do believe that the Democrats will do what they say they will. Is this the worst of all worlds, or what?

If any immigrant commits a violent crime, the Swiss government deports the entire family from the country. It also counts against that group ground looking to become citizens. They recently banned any construction of mosque minarets. Their campaign poster is three white sheep roaming on a Swiss-flag delimited area kick out a black sheep (see the link below). Do you think this is good or bad?

When a mother is awarded full custody of a child does the state automatically go for child support against the father or is it the mothers decision to get child support? I live in ct. and she wants full custody of our son. Can she go for just custody alone without me having to pay support through the court? Ladies, please dont jump to conclusions and judge me. I am a good father and I pay for him its just a question. Thanks

My daughter is being accused because her boss said she was acting like she was on drugs during a x-mas holiday event. Being a concerned parent I took her to get a drug test and the results were negative, now I would like to sue his manager for defamation, and being falsely accused and relaying the message to all her co-workers that she was on drugs. What are my options of suing this guy? NO alcohol was served during the holiday event therefore she wasn't drunk and she was driving (not that it matters for some kids) but I saw her when she got back from the holiday event and actually told me the same night that her boss was telling everyone that I was on drugs... I know there are two sides of the story and will confront the other side but for now I would like to know what my options are.... thanks a lot!
- A very concerned parent.

California's politicians want to raise taxes because of a large budget deficit. And illegal immigrants cost the state of California over $10 billion a year, while Mexico helps illegal immigrants cross the border.

Mexico even provides classes and booklets that teach how to illegally enter the U.S. and how to illegally stay in the U.S..

On average, a taxpaying family in California already pays over $1,000 extra in taxes just to pay for the cost of illegal immigrants. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger along with other Democrats want to increase that amount. California Republicans are against a tax increase.

Also, Mexico has caused gang crime to rise to a level unseen in any part of the U.S..

Also, California alone spends over $700 million a year on criminal illegal alien prisoners. The amount jumps to over $1 billion a year when you include local jails, police costs, and court costs.

We all know that all the stores have cameras so people don't steal. A lot of times when I go to the store, I find an open box of food, half of the food is gone because someone ate it. Or I see a lot of damaged items that someone wrecked.
How come these people don't get in trouble?

Anyone really thought that he would have a chance?? His only issue was immigration. That is all he talked about. Hes a Lou Dobbs type of guy. He thought that by creating more racial tension he would get Americans to vote for him. Good thing Americans are too smart for that.

1. consequences or impacts of the war. Go beyond the results of who won. How was the world different as a result of the war?


2. identifying significant cause(s) or reason(s) for the war. Include important battles or other events that directly impacted the outcome. Also discuss consequences or impacts of the war. Go beyond the results of who won. How was the world different as a result of the war?

3. Was Hiroshima a military target? Was the bomb necessary to end the war, or was Japan on the verge of surrender? Would lives have been saved in the long run by bombing Auschwitz?
