Other - Politics & Government - December 2006

Over the past few weeks there's been a lot more talk than usual in the news about splitting up the UK and making Scotland independent. Why is this suddenly such a hot topic? What has happened recently to put this issue on the agenda?

Her's and many of these Anti-American Americans are really getting on my nerves. They should all go to Britan or wherever forever. Think they would miss that American dollar?????

It amazes me how conservatives are sooo about saving money that they don't care about the society they live in to even provide equal life opportunity for all. But then how can they live with almost half of every tax dollar sent into military operations (which also kill so many young men.. it is so sad to see them on TV, leaving behind their families for a war that has nothing to do with their country...)

1) Break up Iraq into 3 new countries: 1 Sunni, 1 Shia, 1 Kurd.
2) Move all US troops into the new Iraqi Shia nation & bring 50% of all US troops home by end of 2007. 3) US gives massive aid to new Iraqi Sunni nation to make up for oil revenue losses in return for guarantee of no terrorists activity in the new nation. 4) US upgrades entire new Iraqi Shia nation oil infrastucture helping to make the new nation billions of dollars. New Iraqi Shia nation becomes US ally forever (for fixing their oil infrastucture) as well as keeping the Iraqi Sunnis from attacking them & "protecting them" from Iran. 5) Kurds are forever grateful to the US for giving them their own nation. 6) Bring home ALL US troops with honor at end of 2008. 7) No more insurgents because there aren't anymore US troops/Iraqi army to fight, no more civil war, the US aid is rebuilding the new Iraqi Sunni nation & the last thing these former Iraqi Sunnis want is Al Qaeda foreigners in their new country.

First they say that 42,000 civilians were killed, then some cuckoo report says the number was 600,000 and now its 150,000. And with 9/11, some people say 3000 and some say 4000. What's the truth?

Those who were raised in the Cold War -- those who were handed, that is, the pieties and certainties of that war and did not have to learn or think for themselves overmuch -- have demonstrated their limits in the present conflict. However well-spoken they (the Bush Administration) may be, they have been raised in an environment where completely independent thought simply is hard to find.

What should be the single and unswerving goal by the Americans and its remaining allies and others that might be allies yet again: to defend ourselves by weakening the Camp of Islam and Jihad, and to do that by dividing and demoralizing that camp, playing upon the pre-existing divisions, the three main ones being sectarian (Sunni and Shi'a), ethnic (Arab and non-Arab) and economic (the Muslims with vast unmerited wealth, and the Muslims who have no oil or gas deposits).

It seems that here in America we are so wrapped up in equality that we are becoming too tolerant of people who are intolerant to us, such as islamic extremists?

Iran, aside from developing nuclear weapsons, why is this country becoming so powerful. Where are they getting the money, and the knowledge, to developed iran into a economic and military power? Iran out produces any country in the region in manufacturing, the stock market and in military clout. It also has the largest stock of industrial robots in that region. It's also producing 900 class Mercedes-Benz engines and exporting these iranian made products to europe. You know whats so funny, they kept their economy closed to foreign investments and transform it by state planining, stealing a page from the soviet union. They are a direct descent from german people. Most of their military hardware are exported to nato nations. Saudi Arabia has more money and western nations by its side, but it doesn't come close to what the iranians habor in their country. History will repeat itself. By the way, i am not iranian. Why are they teasting the u.s.?

I'm sure you people have a viable excuse for each of these incidents:

There are the money bribing scandals, lobbyist scandals, Mark Foley Scandal, abandoned report on the Foley Scandal after one was promised by the House Ethics Committee, no help for Katrina victims in New Orleans, procrastination of the illegal immigration issue and the real reasons behind it (the fence has no way to be paid for), unreported pre-9/11 Intelligence failures, the administration fighting against an independent CIA 9/11 Commissions Report Group, false CIA-unapproved reports by the president that Saddam had been purchasing nuclear materials from Africa, misleading the American public about the condition of wars for years, abandoning the hunt for Osama after he was already cornered in Tora Bora, failure to even attempt a course change after vowing to do so, Halliburton involvement scandals (secret oil extraction programs still going on today), secret prisons such as Abu Ghraib, destruction of the Habeas Corpus, the Mission Accomplished speech, NSA illegal wire-tapping program…etc.
TOO MANY!!! WAY MORE THAN ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION!

The MCA says non-citizens, as well as citizens, can be held indefinitely. This is an UN-AMERICAN law which will be overturned if appealed. No doubt about it.

I suppose he says this because the chaos he and Rumsfailed caused is much worse than the threat from Osama...

No matter what, when it's all said and done - there is NO WAY the losses (lives or $$) we've suffered will ever be worth the outcome of this war. Why won't the Bush administration admit they were wrong and apologize?

Do you think that the younger people in this country are being brainwashed by the special interest groups and the government? It seems that a lot of them (and I am NOT trying to say ALL) believe everything that the government tells them without looking into other sources of information. A lot of younger people that I meet see no problem with the government getting more control over their lives. They see it as a necessity.

I don't know...it's really kind of scary.

should each province be treated like a state with 2 senators, and whatever number of electoral college votes, and canadians in the house of representatives.

what about quebec? should they be given independence or be made a part of the united states? wouldn't it be dangerous to have so many papists and frenchman on american soil? should they be deported back to france?

At least Clinton didn't have an F'd up foreign policy like Bush's and at least Clinton DID catch Ramzi Yousef and his group who were responsible for the '93 WTC attacks.

Because republicans such as yourselves pursued some incident as utterly pointless as that one and not allowing Clinton to have time for anything else!!!!!!
