Pro athletes get paid way to much for what they do and most of them arent even role models but our troops are putting there lifes in danger everyday. Why don they get paid more. If they did ,dont you think that there would be more people signing up to defend our country?

I think that politicians making a statement like “Our way of life” have us believe that we must agree with them. Somehow, the word “our” allures us to find the actions of the politicians justifiable—like wars.

Two U.S. army deserters who fled to Canada and sought refugee status on the grounds of their opposition to the war in Iraq have lost their bids to have the Supreme Court of Canada hear their cases.

The court refused today to hear the appeals of Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey, who were rejected by the Immigration and Refugee Board in 2005.

The board ruled they would not be at risk of their lives if they returned to the United States, nor were they at risk of "cruel and unusual treatment or punishment."

Both would face jail time if convicted of desertion.

This question is by no means a joke and yes it is DEAD SERIOUS, yet only the ones who have proper security clearance to know wont be laughing at this question.

Im trying to relate to what the big deal is about non human intelligent species being on Earth. (many in the "know" know its true as FACT. Why is it so scary to people? Why do people have a psychological block in accepting the obvious?

So what they are here....Are people going to be racist against any species that can talk who arent human?

Cmon people its time you change your mindset and stop being scared, yes theres "space aliens" here...but I say to you...Whats the big deal? They just come from other cultures and are different, but are still civilized enough to talk to you and get to know you.

Your minds natural defense is to be in psychological denial to this, but the world will change drastically no matter how much it hurts your psyches. Peace.

Will the antichrist be able to defeat the US military? If so how will it happen? If he takes control will the military know it is being led by him? Will they be tricked into thinking he is a noble person?

This is only for people that believe heavily in scripture; How will the antichrist and his army compare to the USA army. Does the USA army stand a chance in defeating him head on?

And please far left loons save me from having to hear you say "Bush is the atichrist" as it is so predictable.

Please give me a very serious answer.

I have my own reasons for opposing the Iraq occupation. What this guy says resonates with me, but I do not really have the background to confirm or challenge his assertions.

I especially welcome comments from members of the military who have been in Iraq.

What if a Democratic Government held you without trial on an Island for 6 years? Would you not as a prisoner, expect to be tried for your crimes. Innocent or Guilty. These men Deserve Trials.. and so far only 1 man, A Australian has been convicted of a crime and his sentence is nearly over. 300 other detainees have been released, America Tries serial killers, and Mass murders like Timothy McVeigh, and the Shoe bomber.. so whats the problem with these detainees. Its time to release or try them?
