OK - I'm Welsh

But I'm not convinced about Welsh independence from the UK.

How would it benefit me - an ordinary working (hard up) Welsh girl?

I'm not a Welsh speaker so any improvement on Welsh Language Facilities wouldn't tempt me.

My BF is English and our son is half English so any "chuck all the non-Welsh out of Wales" policies certainly wouldn't appeal to me.

I'm not really that patriotic about Wales. Its my home and I love it for that reason but I'm not a flag waver, nor do I have a chip on my shoulder against the English.

So how would Welsh Independence make my life better? Would it mean more jobs? Better wages? More housing? Better standard of living?

Come on you proponents of Welsh Independence - convince me. But taking into account those things I've said, please. Going on about how much you hate the English ain't gonna do it!

I saw on yahoo news a group burning a mexico flag because of 10% of it's population are U.S. Ilegal immigrants. Does that give a person the right to burn a nation's flag?

Twice (Nixon's and Reagan's funerals) there were 1 current and 4 former presidents at the funeral. I would imagine it doesn't happen too often, as it makes a logistical nightmare for Presidential Protective Details. Reagan sent 3 former Presidents to Sadat's funeral in the 80's. That's the only other occasion I recall where that many of them were together.

One of the most amazing characteristics of Gerald Ford was the fact that he was just an average guy. He didn't have many political connections and he wasn't known for his charismatic presence, yet he was an outstanding president. Is it possible in this day and age for a president to be elected with Ford's same characteristics, or do you think there is always some kind of hidden agenda?

1. "Saddam had links to 9-11 and Al Qaeda"..... FALSE. No links were ever found that supports this myth. In fact, Saddam had turn away many Al Qaeda leaders who had sought refugee in Iraq.

2. "Saddam massacred his own people for no reason"..... FALSE. While it's true that he killed thousands of Iraqis, many were his enemies who had tried to assasinate him and/or overthrow him. Regardless, The Bushes killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did.

3. "The recession began after the collapse of the Dot-Com during Clinton's presidency." FALSE. The recession officially began in March 2001 when the economy went in to reverse. The dot-com bubble bursting had no negative effect on the economy as it continued to grow at a record pace.

4. "Bush invaded Iraq because of faulty intelligence from the Clinton administration." FALSE.... CIA warned Bush that the intelligence was untrue and couldn't be trusted.

Feel free to list more myths that republicons continue to believe as facts.

The man behind 9/11..... Osama, a Saudi.

Majority of the hijackers... Saudi.

The funding for terroism from.... Saudi royal family.

So why isn't Bush invading Saudi Arabia, which has direct links to 9/11?

Yet he invades Iraq which had no links to 9/11 or Al Qaeda.

I personally think he should not be hanged and instead spend the rest of his life in prison; this way he has time to reflect on all the horrible things he has done during his tenure as dictator of Iraq. I know i'll probably get hate mail for this but I really do believe he should not be hanged. I hate him as much as you do but this is not the right way to handle his punishment.

Since the Bush father & son duo killed over 3 MILLION Iraqis combined.

Bush Sr was the VP when the Reagan administration supplied Saddam with weapons and chemicals used in the gassing of thousands of Iraqis. Bush Sr still professed his love for Saddam when he became president.

Bush Sr incited a revolt after the gulf war, promising help in overthrowing Saddam. Yet did nothing while Saddam massacred over 500,000 Iraqis who had revolted believing the Bush Sr would help.

Bush Sr introduced the UN sanctions which resulted in millions of Iraqi women and children dying from hunger and lack of medicine.

Bush Jr invaded Iraq which killed over 100,000 Iraqi civilians. Thousands have died since due to car bombings, lack of medicine/food, etc.

So that's over 3 MILLION the Bush Whackers have killed. So where's the justice?

When there's proof that the economy kept growing for over a year afterwards regardless of the Dot com collapse and the recession didn't begin until April 2001, after Bush took office?

And the fact that one company, Motorola, was responsible for more firings in late 2001 than the entire jobs lost from the Dot com collapse?

All I asked was.... is Bush the worst president of all time?

1. Allowed 9/11 to happen unabated. He was warned for 9 month that Al Qaeda was planning to hijack planes. But Bush refused to meet with the anti-terrorism expert to discuss this important matter because he was too busy going on vacations.

2. Went to Iraq based on lies and falsified information which even the CIA deemed as crock of BS. But Bush wanted to invade Iraq so he went ahead and used the lies to garner support.

3. Largest national deficit in US history. He is even stealing from the Social Security and Border Patrol to finance war in Iraq.

4. Highest oil prices in US history. He, Cheney and their friends in the oil industry have made billions from record high prices.

5. Has helped Al Qaeda with recruitment of more terrorists. Bush has said he no longer cares where Osama is.... even though he swore he'd bring him to justice. If you think America is safe, you're dumber than the chimp in office.
