Tony Blair said he believed he was doing the right thing in chosing to go to war in Iraq... but why do decisions such as this seem to fall to one person, why can't they just be the result of voting in the house of commons or within the cabinet?
To what extent can the Prime Minister really make final decisions & can he over-rule everyone else, or is he just a figure-head to the Cabinet that he selects?

to make it a requirement for any national elected official to agree to be on webcam 24/7, except in the privacy of their homes? I can't think of a better way to eliminate graft and corruption, to take the power back from corporate interests and put it back in the people's hands. If they knew someone would always be watching, they couldn't accept bribes, favors, etc.

That is why Latin country don't like to put military people as president. They become dictator most of the time. What is your opinion about it?

Powell's Chief of Staff Proposes Impeachment
By David Swanson
AfterDowningStreet.com

Thursday 10 May 2007

On Thursday, May 10, 2007, Lawrence Wilkerson, speaking on National Public Radio, proposed impeaching President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Wilkerson is a Retired Army Colonel, the former Chief of Staff at the State Department from 2002 to 2005 under then Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Vietnam War veteran, the former Acting Director of the Marine Corps War College at Quantico, and currently a teacher of national security at William and Mary College.

You compare Bill Clinton's peccadilloes for which he was impeached to George Bush's high crimes and misdemeanors or Dick Cheney's high crimes and misdemeanors, and I think they pale in significance."

Ashbrook asked for some examples of such high crimes and misdemeanors, and Wilkerson replied: "I think that the caller was right. I think we went into this war for specious reasons. I think we went into this war not too much unlike the way we went into the Spanish American War with the Hearst press essentially goading the American people and the leadership into war. That was a different time in a different culture, in a different America. We're in a very different place today and I think we essentially got goaded into the war through some of the same means."

All the success in the Northern Ireland is being attributed to Blair. Wasn't it Mo Mowlem who went into the Maize Prison while everyone else was tucked up somewhere safe. Was she only there to take the blame if it all went pear shaped?

Many " liberals " seem to want government sponsored " gay marriage " , while many social conservatives seem to want the government to enforce restricting marriage to between a man and a woman . Why is the government involved in the regulation of marriage ? The first marriage licenses were instituted right after the war between the states to restrict " intermarriage " . The original purpose was to keep black men from marrying white women . Now governments profit from marriage by charging a fee for a marriage license . Why don't we eliminate government issued marriage licenses all together instead of restricting them to a man and a woman or issuing them to same-sex couples ? Let people form unions however they like without interference from the government . That way social conservatives can have their marriage between a man and a woman without a government endorsing gay marriage , while homosexuals can have their unions and polygamists can have their marriage between a man and a woman and a woman .

Question - Why don't we get the government out of the marriage business ?

presidential status, 35% approval, what is america telling us now? back in november america said, we have had enough with the war and we want a change, so here you go mr/ms democrat. is it the congress' lack of focus, although they have been rough on g.w., to find a solution versus their despise for mr bush? or is it the republicans hard headedness to end this on their terms, meaning the iraqi war situation.

Study some US history first. The revolutionary war was fought on a shoestring budget and sometimes no budget. People fought in the dead of winter barefoot and naked. People died, starved, etc. Then there was the tension of the civil war. The civil rights movement of the 1800's inspired the klan. There is forward and reversed prejudices and hatreds we deal with internally on a daily basis. There are all kinds of struggles this county went through while it was struggling to grow and establish itself. Yet so many come here expecting a handout and the streets paved with gold. And they don't stop there. Many of them try to recreate this country and make it more like the one they left! If you cannot follow the rules of the new place, maybe you shouldn't come here at all? I mean really!

In combat, an army doesn't - can't - take the time to figure out which soldiers on the OTHER side fired, or whether they intended to kill or simply wound, or whether they were fighting willingly or were conscripted. In combat, our soldiers shoot their soldiers.

A crime, on the other hand, involves an individualized determination of state of mind, and the elements of the crime, and whether a crime in fact occurred or was going to occur (attempt or conspiracy to commit).

So what if a person intends to commit an act of war? What if a person, intending to bring down the US government through violent means a la military action, and in support of a nation or organization that also seeks to bring down the US government through violent means, plots to kill US citizens?

It is a crime, no question. But should it be treated as an act of war?
Also, if the person does NOT comply with the Geneva Convention treaties (i.e., the person does NOT wear a uniform), why should US?
