three times today I have heard the same Israeli politician say that lebonese civilians had to be moved from southern lebanon, because that was where hezbollah got their support.(from the civilian population)
doesn't this suggest that civilians were targeted?

over $200 billion of foriegn gold was under the trade centers. most of it was owned by Kuwait. I have not heard that it was given back.

Haliburton went from $2 a share before the war to around $80 a share during the war.

Has it all been about money?

and here is a possible conspiracy theory:
Some high ranked official in the US is somehow connected with a high ranked official in Iran.

reasons: Iran has had only 2 main enemies in the last 15 years- The Taliban government and Saddam Hussein.
-while the US was seaching through caves in Afganistan they somehow managed to overthrow the Taliban government. The Taliban government did not support Osama Bin Laden, in fact they restricted him from doing any terror activities.
-Iraq had no WMD's but we invaded and took it over anyways.

now Iran's two biggest enemies have been taken down.


what is going on?

Indiana is going to offer license plates with In God we trust on them. Some people saw that there is no separation of church and state and then go quote the first amendment when it says right there- no establishment of religion.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
And when the government says –put this tag on your car that says you believe in god, well its just gone and forced you to sign on to a religious belief you may not have.
As for the rights of believers- why don’t you get a bumper sticker? Or one of those little fish? Or a plastic Jesus? Nobody can stop you from displaying those. That’s where the free exercise clause comes in. I may not agree with you but I will defend to the death your right to have a tacky little plastic little statue of your god around.
Don’t you see the difference?

Basically do you think the majority of Americans are " smart, intelligent people "? Think of it this way, when you walk through the mall do you see more dumb people or smart people in your opinion?

In this shocking memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins tells of his own inner journey from willing servant of empire to impassioned advocate for the rights of oppressed people. Covertly recruited by the United States National Security Agency and on the payroll of an international consulting firm, he traveled the world—to Indonesia, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other strategically important countries. His job was to implement policies that promoted the interests of the U.S. corporatocracy (a coalition of government, banks, and corporations) while professing to alleviate poverty—policies that alienated many nations and ultimately led to September 11 and growing anti-Americanism.

They currently have 6 designs that residents can choose from to pick the best for the new plate design, and all have this motto. I think it's about time we take back our National Motto and let people know what we stand for.

Many young politicans go to Washington D.C. after they are elected to make a difference but when they get their they are told by those in control how things are done.

In order to get things done they find that bend their ethics a little. Over a course of time they get caught up in the politcal whirlwind.

Case in point Congresswoman Nancy Johnson from Connecticut has her own private bathroom only for her usage. Does she really need one? I don't think so
