Richest nation like US poorest nation like Ethopia both are fond for arms. They sends Pathfinder to Mars spending billion of Dollars. When the time will come, the people of nations understand the problems of food, health and other natural necessities.

The dollar is weak and growing weaker as the FED showers the world with money! Big business with the support of our government has exported our good jobs, factories and industries to countries that pay a fraction of the wages paid in the USA. These same American traitors have permitted a huge illegal immigration which has further eroded our wage base in the USA. The FED in unison with big business created the housing and mortgage mess we are engaged in! Hell, Americans are not even good consumers anymore choosing to accept a negative savings rate and a declining standard of living as our future legacy. Not much left except to cut each others grass, and dine on a Big Mac while shopping for foreign goods at Walmart.

Our military machine is still a powerhouse capable of killing an unseen enemy 24/7 with the the flick of a finger. Unfortunately, it is largely a mercenary army comprised of all volunteers and paid professionals. We are as Rome was on the eve of her demise!

You have my blessings President Bush, its time we stop pussyfooting around with Iran and let the world know exactly that they are on thin ice.

Just copied from Yahoo's front page: Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, whose command includes the volatile southern rim of Baghdad and districts to the south, said his troops are tracking about 50 members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps in their area — the first detailed allegation that Iranians have been training fighters within Iraq's borders.

I am exspecting a settlement for a automobile accident and what I am wondering is how will social security count this money. I am on SSI. I was told by someone that if I spend the money then they would not stop my check. I plan on using the money to buy a home. Thanks to all of you for your answers.

Since respiratory diseases and deaths therefrom have steadily increased since the 60's and cracking down on smoking has reduced taxes, shuttered many a bar and restaurant and people are increasingly isolated socially, the publicized motives like saving lives, taking in more revenue and reducing crime don't seem to apply. There must be something else behind the campaign, .........it has a ring like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

The terrorists had legal documents and IDs when they attacked. How will putting everyone's information in one huge data base, plus the cost of implementing it, and the potential for abuse helping? Not to mention create a national id card that would infringe on state and individual rights? How can we call ourselves a free country when those living in states that reject it need a passport to simply go into a federal park?

There are so many questions of the legalities and lies of this war, why isn't he atleast tried in court? If he is a war criminal that cost thousands of lives shouldn't he be accountable? Is lying about reasons to go to war a crime?

Liberals or Democrats tend to believe in the potential of government to have effective programs; conservatives and Rebublicans seems to believe otherwise. So let's get closer to a resolution: Make a list of successful programs and not-so-successful ones. I'll start:

Successful: The federal highway system.

Unsuccessful: the best example I can think of is Herbert Hoover's programs to mitigate the effects of the Depression--the economy still got worse. OK, maybe a bad example, but please work with me if you know better or have further examples.

Why Oh Why, Do people ask Stupid question, and later report you because they don't like the answer you give them. But you give them a answer to that question instead of reporting them.

That they can't even afford their co-payments, deductibles or drugs? (unless they're generic).
And FYI, yes, I'm including those who have medicaid & medicare in the numbers of those that are insured. I am NOT including illegals in the numbers that are not insured, as they are not citizens or even legal residents. Nor have I included people that choose not to be insured because they don't feel they need it. I am just talking about legal Americans that need it.

Someone can be accused of a crime by our government, hauled off to jail, and be denied a trial? I was shocked to hear this. This is not the USA that I grew up in. That is downright unamerican. Why would any patriotic american support this fascist like behavior?

As you all know, China is NOT the nation of Han people, but rather a state of many minorities. China is not trying to eliminate them, but rather has promoted the growth of minority populations (e.g. one child policy doesn't apply to them) and granted them affirmative action to give them more power, education, etc. How well it actually works is questionable.. still, the Han dominated gov clearly intends to keep all the different nationalities united as one "Chinese people" -guomin-

Now, nationalism is often times ethnic (race), or civic (political participation). Chinese identity and nationalism is clearly not ethnic based, as explained. But it's not civic either since it's not democratic, and so a Manchu cannot say he's Chinese because he votes and is represented in the government (as in the USA).

So what does it mean to be Chinese? Is it simply that you live within the borders? Or does it not exist, China being simply a multiethnic empire like Ancient Rome or Austria-Hungary?

The word is losing more meaning every day. When I was growing up a Terrorist was civilian who targeted civilians for acts of deadly violence to make a political statement and was not officially authorized by any government.
A recognized nations armed force could not be a terrorist group because it actions were officially sanctioned by a government.
A resistance movement was not a terrorist group so long as they targeted military, military support or political targets.

We keep changing the word. If we change it constantly to fit whatever we want then the word doesn't mean anything anymore. So why should it matter if we call them terrorist when that word only means whatever we say it means at the moment? We could call them the Nazis with exactly the same amount of accuracy.
