Is the “separation of church and state” in the U.S. Constitution intended so the government would not interfere with the church or so the church would not interfere with the government?

In a recent news article, President Bush made the following remarks concerning the escalation the numbers of troops to be sent in the Iraq War:

["Bush was unwavering about U.S. goals for Iraq.

"Victory in Iraq is achievable," he said. "It hadn't happened nearly as quickly as I hoped it would have. ...

"But I also don't believe most Americans want us just to get out now," the president said. "A lot of Americans understand the consequences of defeat. Retreat would embolden radicals. It would hurt the credibility of the United States." ]

...when their are barely legal to drink, vote, etc.

Are they old enough to decipher the motives of "War Presidents" against countries that have done the US no harm?

I personally think that cutting oil production in the Middle East will make oil prices skyrocket in the US. I think it is a joint decision between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the US.

If the idea of production cutting stays still, then I will think it's the perfect time to start investing in those oil profits. you think the gas prices were horrible this past summer, wait until this summer.

Americans depends on an estimated 20.5 million barrels a day but with this possible cut we may only get between 15-18 million a day.

(China depends on 6,391,000 a day, info. taken from http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_oil_con-energy-oil-consumption)

Will Europe fall under the weight of political correctness?

Does it seem that they are caught up in being so nice to everyone that they are in an ivory tower. Do they no longer recognize what is actually going on? Is their condition contagious and can we catch it in America?

Currently on the news I've been seeing that Bush really doesn't care about the lost lives of soldiers, what do you all think about his decisions on sending more troops over seas? Do you all not have the same feeling that I do believing that Bush just wants to benefit himself?

If we try to appease both factions we will have no effect. If we support the Shiaa they will not create an open government. We must support the Sunni Arab if we want to be a party in Iraq where the oil is -- we need oil!

This if it ayall happens will reduce the manipluation of poor countries by the Rich Nations and also reduce the corruption by third world Dictators who manipulate their currencies against the so called hard currencies to make Millions for them selves.For example Indian Rupee in 1947 was a big silver Coin today it is not worth its weight in Paper it is printed on.Some body stole all that Silver.Of course the money traders will be out of job but the era of peace and happiness will begin.

This is not about whether or not the draft will be reinstated, please don't attack the question on those grounds. I'm just curious as to who would stay and who would not.

Foreign newspapers reported the local US CIA chief meeting with Usama in an American hospital in Dubaii, UAE just months before 9-11. Many such artlcles were published before 9-11, so you have to respect their validity. Other articles claim on September 12, 2001, Usama was emergency admitted for his kidneys in a Pakastani hospital. Articles published before 9-11 stated Usama only had a couple years to live. The Israeli Moussad and French intelligence have already reported Usama is dead. What do you think?

Why can't Answers usernames are unique like Yahoo I.D.'s? That way, you will know if someone is a clone or not, and if they get kicked off, they cannot come back on with the same ID?

I KNOW this question is not about politics, but there are SO many clones here...

The people with children receive additional exemptions reducing their tax burden and us people without kids make up the difference, their children pay only a fourth of the cost of tuition for college and tax payers pay the rest, they receive subsidized student loans that my tax dollars subsidize those loans, they get tax credit for daycare that my tax dollars pay for, they get money for athletic programs such as little league that comes from the tax payers coiffures. They go to public schools that i have to pay for, I do not have kids so why should my tax dollars pay for these children? Don’t you think these parents need to be responsible and pay for their own choices?
