Other - Politics & Government - August 2006

I cannot fathom why people would intentionally inhibit the medical research that can literally save millions of lives and cure ANYTHING. With enough research it can cure anything so why are we stopping it? I understand why our president VETO'd it. He votes for the bible instead of the will of the American people. I'm curious what others think? I'm not attacking the other side im asking you to share your opinions with me so please be polite.

If they do, perhaps they should see this:

I'm not a "Bush lover", but I do hate that people are using lies to ridicule him. It is GUARANTEED that if Snopes says it's false, it's false. If you're not familiar with Snopes, I suggest you get that way. It's a completely nonpartisan website.

Has anyone out there just about had enough of these idiots running the country? I don't think they have a clue as to what's going on, especially Homeland Security, as witness to what has happened this past week.
I seems as though they don't have any kind of plan....it just gets made up as we go along.
OK conservatives lets hear your typical responses.....if you don't like it leave, we're strong on defense, I'm an American, commie bastard, democrats like terrorists, dems are weak in regards to defense.

OK, here is where I stand: I do believe the terrorist threat is real, unfortunately very real, and I am not a proponent of government conspiracy (probable but unlikely), but don’t you think that uncovering the recent terrorist threat came at a very convenient time for Bush/Blair administrations?

What puzzled me most was when I talked to a friend of mine who flew from Moscow around 2 months ago that when she was leaving from a Moscow airport there already was a ban on all liquids/lotions/gels in carry-on. Not yesterday, not last week, but 2 months ago! In Moscow! And trust me on this one - Russia is not the most advanced country in the matters of airport security. So, how did it happen that even the Russian bears had more info on what was going on the day before yesterday than what came as a surprise to most of us yesterday?

Or was it because it was a known (thought through unofficial channels) fact for the airport security but was kept as an ace for the administrations to use when they felt it was the most advantageous?

And I repeat, this comes from a very skeptical person who does not give it to the conspiracy theories easily…

What do you think? Only serious answers from BOTH sides, please.

JERUSALEM - Israel's Cabinet met Sunday to approve a U.N. cease-fire plan despite widespread concerns among Israelis about reaching a truce with Hezbollah guerrillas who have not been subdued and have inflicted heavy losses on Israeli troops.

The session came as some 30,000 Israeli troops fought heavy battles with Hezbollah guerrillas in a last-minute push deeper into Lebanon, and a day after 24 soldiers were killed in the highest Israeli toll of the monthlong war

If it does happen where can you go to get out of it besides being the only male child, and I think perhaps if the teen is in college, but not sure? Hey and if you leave the country don't you get in trouble? If it is to avoid enlistment?

i mean if Muslims truely don't endorse terrorist...why don't we see more leaders of the muslim faith or thier government condemn terrorist acts? The only one i have see who has what it take to say something is Pervez Musharraf. Why don't any Middle Eastern Muslims say anything...would that be a great weapon agaisnt the islamic terrorist if Muslims condemned it publicly for the world to see...i see many Muslims do not lack action for what they beleive in, protest, suicide bombings, etc...but i do see a lack of action to condemn terrorist...

Do you think we should pull out of all of the mess? Stop all the billions of international funding. Pull the military troops back to the US. Let the rest of the world figure out their own problems, so that we can make our own country the best it can be?

Or, do you think we need to be involved so that religous zealots don't blow up the planet?

I think that is the only way there will ever be peace in the middle east or the world. There are no innocent muslims so don't give the that line of crap. If the were innocent they wouldn't let terrorists hide weapons in their mosques. If they were innocent the wouldn't dance in the streets and shoot guns in the air when real innocent Jew and Christians get killed.

On a recent trip to "Scotchland" I bought a book on Scottish History and was amazed to read that the Lowlands of Scotland (Including Edinburgh) were actually Anglo-Saxon Strongholds, not a Celt to be seen!! (The Scandinavians ran the Western Isles, leaving the Celts with the Highlands).
As the population of England has swelled with far more immigrants than Scotland, since Anglo-Saxon times, would the Genetic stock of Scotland be more English than the English?
