I do not believe that congress should have a blank check and increase their own pay. I do believe that 'we the people' should be the ones to increase their wages for a job well done IF it is 'well done'.

In protest to the Vietnam War, student activists were killed by national guardsman in Ohio. As a historian of the VN war, and teenage combat of another unpopular war, I am seeing a repeat of the same mistakes made during that era in the Iraq conflict. Is the majority of the US public going to stand-by and watch these tragic occurences happen again? Are we going to allow Republican zealots driven by inflated ego's and personal agenda's to destroy this country? (often, they hide behind the Christian religion only seeking personal wealth) Like VN, US involvement in Iraq and Pakistan is a mistake and soon another embarrasment. How many more LIES from the Bush administration will be believed before the largely Republican, Christian, ignorant, and Redneck American public realize the truth! How much more Bush "cannon fodder", women and children must die? Would Bush send his daughters to Iraq?

We need to avoid another Kent State!

Stop the War!

Impeach Bush NOW!

Engineering and Science subjects have been declining in schools, colleges and universities for many years with fewer students being attracted into these career paths - as such our UK engineering and scientific base is being eroded. The UK Gov't appears not to care as within its own ranks Engineers and Scientists are not valued as highly as Administrators, Lawyers and Accountants.

The administration says that if we set a timetable then the insurgents will simply out wait us. I can see the logic in that, but it also implies that whatever it is that we are trying to accomplish wont happen anywhere in the forseeable future. So how bad does it have to be before we say, "Ok enough is enough. You guys are on your own." Or how good before we say "Great. Our Job here is done. We can leave with a clear conscience."

Too much propaganda and false life, corruption, greed, We left here to fight against terror in Afghanistan we couldn't do it, then ran to Iraq to grab their oil under the pretext of searching weapons of mass destruction and spreading democracy. What did we actually achieve over there apart from destroying that country. Sadam and his people spent years building that country and we took days to destroy creating factions that are bombing every where and we can't control them, And we turn round fulling ourselves that we are the worlds number one military might.Our boys are been killed every day.The russians would have done a better job. Why not bring our guys home? We have lots of things to do. Every thing is in the esteem, crime gangs drugs illigal immigration. Or are we just used to leaving things undone and roaming round the world?

I was listening to the radio this morning and the VJ said something that I had never considered before. Many people say they support our troops, but if you don't vote wouldn't that be a disrespect to them? I was a little confused but he put it this way. "our soldiers are shedding blood for another country to have the right to vote. What are we telling our soldiers if we say we're too busy to vote ourselves. How important is demoracy to us if we dont get out there and vote?" Anyway, the website address above is where you can see if you are registered to vote. Who you vote for is no ones business, but isn't this guy right?

Please don't say Democracy: US has double standards regarding that when it comes to Hamas , old soviet states etc.
Please don't mention moral superiority: Just now looting a country in the name of ( what ? ) . OK. Invasion based on Lies.
Don't mention military superiority either. They couldn't even protect their pentagon against a few terrorrists. And they are not winning their war or Error either , even with the help of their british Pim*s.
They are almost about to be thrown out ( Withrawal , if you want. but both are same now ) from Iraq.
Living standards of people? I saw that on TV after hurricane katrina
Some people will object now. Demanding all who took aid to give it back now. ( When some one - as per your claim , taliban and saddam - returned your aid you were not very happy either )
Oh human rights : You are supposed to be in charge of Iraq now. What about the human rights there?
Not so strong economically either. Borrowing from China/Asians.
Anything else is there?

As if anything clinton did or did not do excuses the mess Bush and his cronies have created. Lets stop finger pointing and start taking responsibility for voting this moron in office not once but twice!

Is the finger point an admission to guilt?

why cant the greens seem to find a spokesman who speaks from the heart.
in an age of bland characterless politicians with nothing much to choose between them, isnt it ethical integrity that people are crying out for?
isnt it time we had representitives who were concerned about the welfare of all living beings and had a global outlook instead of always looking at narrow economic advantage?
wouldnt it be good to follow a party or leader who made us feel good about being human, instead of feeling our leaders were colluding with bankers and industrialists to desecrate the planet on our behalf?
