According to the oath of office, he is to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution. Does (or should) protecting the citizens against a threat overide that primary responsibility?

Think of it when a country like Iraq becomes a chaotic arena then it becomes automatically a safe haven for terrorists and there would be no strong nation to stop them , the case is live in Iraq :terrorism is florishing , we cant buy pretexts as fighting terrorism when we saw terrorism florishing world wide while oil companies main interest have been securing their positions in Iraq , It is clear that corporations cannot operate in a strong nation that is why they are destroying every strong nation including the US to be able to put their rules and name everyone who oppose them as terrorist

What happens if one sibling contests the power of attorney ,on basis because they want to be power of attorney? If one sibling is contesting that power of attorney is incapable of handeling the will, even though this sibling is lying, then what? How about if this sibling who is contesting this, and refusing to sign the probate papers, is Mentally ill, and making up stories about power of attorney, just to take control, then what? There are three siblings here, and only one is refusing to sign the papers, as well as trying to declare power of attorney incompetent. How long will probate be then, if this occurs, since bills and everything else must be paid? The will is clear, and states exactly what it wants, however there is no end clause in it. Please don't reply if you don't know, or a non-professional in this field. All scams and odd replies will be reported. Thanks

The Democrats are certain of a 2008 presidential victory. They also know that the Bush economy has been as successful as it is because it is a wartime economy. As history shows, following a wartime economy, even for short conflicts such as Gulf War 1, the economy tanks.

Do the Democrats want us out of Iraq now so the economy hits bottom now with Bush still in office, so the 2008 president (who the Dems are certain will be one of theirs) doesn't get saddled with it?

Is the real issue the economy (and who gets stuck with it) and not the war itself?

Obviously it sucks that Americans have to get caught in the crossfire, but I don't think we should feel guilty about the lack of WMD and the invasion in general.

In a perfect world leaders wouldn't use their people to settle there own differences. So answer me this, could the aristocrat hold his own against one of the toughest men in modern history or would the most powerful man in the free world be treated like a five year olds rag doll. How much would you pay to see it and what are the odds.

Note: I am an OIF veteran and while in Iraq I wondered quite often why we were fighting and killing Iraqis as well as losing friends to the left and right of me all because George and Saddam had issue with one another. Furthermore I am in complete support of the war on terror and totally against the quagmire in Iraq. But let's leave politics out of this one and have a little fun shall we.

Terrorism was not known to people before two decades in India. But the way it has spreaded in all the major parts of the country, I doubt about the involvement of the political leaders for their personal gains. when it will end and how much would it cost to the country?

look up dictionary definition, bounce off own, and see if the US or other nations match this..

supposedly WWII was set with a tone of fascism against communism and then a third element of defending 'freedom'

so how did it become what we see today?

They gave up in wold war 2, and left England to defend Europe and resist the Nazis until the US came into the war.
They are currently the rout of most troubles in the world, because of there greed and the fact they are not a power(little man syndrome)

the nest president be a bonifide vet? As a Nam Vet & the father of 2 vets of the Iraq war, I find it disgusting that Bush who was officially in the AIr Guard but didn't serve can place our kids in harms way against an emeny (Iraq) that never attacked us, ( his buddies the Saudi's did, ie. the skyjackers, Ben Ladden) just because he wanted us to believe that Hussien, (elected president of Iraq) had wmds. Our best bet elect a vet

I am curious as to what others think about this subject. If the war had ended differently, and the South had won, what would life be like in the US today? Any ideas?

This is not a partisan question so please...no need for Bush bashing which doesn't address the question. We are allowing politicians to leak sensitive information for political purposes and NOT putting them in jail...the ACLU is fighting for the "constitutional" rights of FOREIGN enemy combatants...the NY Times publishes "secret" information WITH IMPUNITY that jeopardizes the lives of our military and citizens and the effectiveness of our programs that have for 5 years thwarted numerous attempts at another 9/11. Congress is concerned how we interrogate enemy prisoners for information to protect America or how comfortable they are in prison. Has America lost its heart and resolve? What can we do?

George Clooney has often publicly voiced his opposition to US foreign policy regarding Iraq. He has also stated that the United States in incapable of winning any war. Currently, he is lobbying for the US to take action in Dafur to stop genocide. I agree with the position that the US as the world's lone superpower should act against injustice where we find it, but in the case of Mr. Clooney and other of the same ilk, this sound like, don't take action unless it is somewhere I approve of. Is it hypocrisy to advocate liberating one country and it's people while speaking out against the same action regarding another?

Every political party in Britain that has served three or four consecutive terms of office in government, have ended up being in opposition for a generation, at least. The Liberals ended up being a major opposition party for over 100 years, after their four terms of consecutive government.
New Labour is on it's last legs. My questions are:

1.how long will it be be before we see another Labour Government
in Britain. or
2. Do you think there will never again be a Labour Government?
