USA used encouraged strengthened religiosity all over the world in order to fight against communism including USA.
i just want to know if the above statement is a fact?
IE;
in the middle east with the help of Saudi Arabia they strengthened ie; the Taliban in Afghanistan.
in Iran they no longer could prolong their support of Reza Shah so they helped the Hezbollah of Iran to take over the power by supporting Saddam Hussein since Iran couldn't afford a civil war while being invaded! Hezbollah slowly and surely killed off all the opposition groups.
the list goes on. since religion was a great tool to fight communism then necessaily USA has invested a lot to increase religiosity here at home!

Do you think we will ever have a Universal Health Care System?

In America, it is not right for self-employed people to not be able to afford health care. In America, will we ever realize all people need the ability to access health care? And do you think we will ever have a Universal Health Care Plan?

so who´s fault is it the illegals or enterprices´?:the fact that american enterprices HIRE them?

for less money etc....evidently they rather be in their countries
speaking their language etc.but if they go to usa it is for a better life.so,evidently the border illegal crossing is, has been and will still be a difficult thing to fix,so illegals will still go to USA ilegally.why not keep a closer eye on the bussineses who hire illegals?i´d say they are all in uncle sam´s list.is it not easier to keep track of these, than actual people who everyday try to either go accross the border-and still keep finding ways to do it,or get in by boat or plane?or just keep popping children to abuse the system?what gives?if they still find jobs,even badly payed they will still come!

Why do people say that the US Air Force is better than the US Army?

I am a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. I've been on active duty for 7 months. 4 months on an Air Force base and 3 months on an Army base.

I don't really notice a difference on the treatment of personnel. So why do people say that the Air Force treats their "people" better? What does the Air Force do that the Army doesn't? What foes the Air Force have that the Army doesn't?
