Politics & Government - 24 December 2007

Families of soldiers, long a reliable source of support for wartime presidents, disapprove of President Bush and his handling of the war in Iraq, with a majority concluding the invasion was not worth it, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

The views point to dwindled support in the war's fifth year.

Can Bush look these soldiers in the eye?

how come republicans dont think its okay for the people who do their drycleaning and wait on them at resturants to get medical care. Should they just be left getting sick and dying?

Hey, Iam not in the US but there does not seem to be much support for Hillary on here.

I was just wondering what is wrong? Is it her, Bill or her policies?

Same question asked by one person 6 times, each spaced at 2 minute intervals. This is called spamming, why do people answer instead of reporting this person? I will report people who do this if no one answers the question but, I won't report the asker if someone has taken the time to answer. Please give me your reasons for accepting this when it is clearly against the rules. Either I don't understand the rules or others don't! Please clarify.

...Then why do you have such a hard time listening to him ? I used to bash the guy. He is not a perfect candidate but get real people.......Watch one of his interviews (with Glenn Beck or Tim Russert) and tell me you want to hear more from Hillary or anyone else....A reminder...Watch a Ron Paul interview first.

If you have ever watched "future weapons" or any other documentary on new military technology, or looked at the defense budget you will know the billions we spend on fancy new technology research and its all based on giving the soldiers more information supposedly to make there job safer. Why can't we start by giving them all body armor.

I understand that DOD or other government entities that conduct security clearance investigations check prior mental health history of an applicant. How is that done? What type of information do they gather, what are they looking for?

A) Living in a society where security is the upmost: children with tracking chips implanted, frequent military presence in residential areas, massive network of cameras and microphones, state databasing everyone's activities/health conditions/contacts/political affiliations, where police can deactivate your car, where government can freeze your bank accounts, and where there is 0% chance of any foriegn terrorist reaching you.

B) Living in a society where liberty is the upmost: Children can choose their path (literally and morally), Police would only respond if summoned, the state can only spy on people with court orders, private information would be confidential between you and your chosen establishment (bank/hospital), where you can come and go as you please: no questions asked. Where terrorists can also come and go as they please, and there IS a chance of you dying from a terrorist attack at virtually every moment.
