Iraq is close to allowing British and US oil companies to come in and steal the Iraqi peoples' biggest natural resource. Great…there’s a 30 year commitment for US troops to protect the oil companies. Permanente bases anyone?
Read this!!! I beg of you. My jaw dropped when I read this. What do you think? You still think Iraq's WMD was the reason? lol

Or will their pride not allow them to face the fact that the Bush family have gotten even with them for not being given the respect that they believe themselves to deserve, and then some. They are laughing all the way to the Swiss Bank.

Do you think it is likely that there will be conflict between the US and China in the future? Are they just waiting to overtake the US economically first? Will that happen, what about the US debt? Where would it start Taiwan or Korea? Who would win?

It's ironic really, people are poor so they feel like they have to deal drugs or steal to get ahead, (and it might be true at $8 an hour), so then they are convicted of a felony which ensures that they will never get a job that requires a background check (anything over $8 an hour) "Do we first: create criminals, then punish them?"
should drug charges exclude people from earning a livable wage

What criticisms have you heard or know that could hurt his campaign? Apart from the obvious point that he is Hispanic, what else is there? Please, no generic "liberals suck" or racist remarks.

Why do we all come on here and rant and rave about stuff we have absolutely no control over?

I will be the first to admit that I am guilty...and if you say that you aren't...you are a liar.

But, anyway, we come on here and talk and argue about stuff that we can not control. Sure we vote...sure we do what we can. But, at the end of the day they are going to do what they want anyway.

I think that a lot of it has to do with us feeling helpless. We all know that our government is wrong on more levels than we can count. They do not listen to us...they honestly do not care. I do not know what else they have to do...other than flat out saying that they don't care...to make people realize this.

I think that we use this as a means to just get stuff off our chests and get feedback from other people so we know that we aren't alone.

I asked an early question "Never mind about President Bush,...What would you do as an American to deal with Terrorism?"

Some of you avoided answering the question directly. Why are you avoiding the question? What is it about the question that scares you. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO DEAL WITH TERRORISM? This question is more about YOU understanding YOURSELF. Try for once to leave George Bush out of this. What will YOU do? What will YOU do?

Here is what the Supreme Court said in 1947. I'm going to enumerate these sentences, which the Court itself did not do.

"The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: (1) Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. (2) Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. (3) Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. (4) No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. (5) No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion.

(Two more sentences to come in just a moment. ......)

So the situation between you and your neighbors is pretty bad.
Wouldnt ya say??

You say they are terrorists, they say you are terrorists.
They say they want their land back from your illegal occupation of it, you say its "not theirs" and is "not on the table" (The Palestinian West Bank (Your annexing large parts of it, The Syrian Golan Heights, East Jerusalem, the Lebanese Shebaa Farms, the Gaza Strip which Sharon gave up))

You say the Arabs "don't want Peace" yet while there were no suicide bombers, or Palestinian attacks against Israel, Israel was still killing Palestinians (The Gaza Beach Massacre comes to mind).

So here is the question.

Why doesn't Israel just move back to the 1967 Borders and Finally sign a Peace treaty with all the Arabs???

The Arabs have proposed this many times but Israel has always either rejected it or ignored it.

As in, Why won't you give up or give back the Entire West Bank, Including East Jerusalem, The Golan Heights and Shebaa Farms??

I'm beginning to think that the only hope we have is for the military (which has almost entirely turned against him) To get this gang of thugs out of power.

Many presidents go into retirement and live a little peace, like Ford and Johnson, etc., But this guy and his father hold on like a crocodile with a smile. I think they are going to still hang on and try and manipulate their secret plans with all their tentacles? What do you think and how will they do it?

Why do we sit back complacently waiting for terrorists to attack us?.We know where they come from we should attack and destroy these vermin with all the weaponry and firepower that we can bring to bear and as for allowing Iran to develop a nuclear capability,we must be MAAAAAD!!!!!!!Better to do the job now than to endure years of purgatory at the hands of these barbaric and inhuman enemies of mankind.Or alternatively leave the mess for our children to clean up or even our childrens children.
