Why?

Given that they ahve been (they are "the" responsable of) killing people, why they are not supposed to be judged to death penalty?

"Because they're in the 'good' side". Which one is the good one?

The one which lies in order to get oil almost for free? In order to stablish a liberal government in the Middle East to extract its richness, feeding the USA and Europeans financial coorporations?

The one which makes war in the name of "our Lord, God"?

The one which lies during the electoral time, as shown already?

Why, I repeat, why p. Tony Blair and G. W. Bush should not be judged as well as was S. Hussein?

Have a good time!

than have the US military have to go in & clean up another Israeli problem (like Iraq)? Israel wouldn't have to worry about: any Israeli troops getting killed or not destroying the whole Iran nuke program in one shot. They'd scare the entire Muslim world to death so much that nobody would ever bother Israel again & that would mean the US would stop having to be the de facto Israeli military. Israel would be secure for generations & the US would stop having to worry about Israel's security. Wouldn't that be great?

I am a native Vermonter and have heard this numerous times, but I cannot find any resources which prove the truth of this claim. Does anybody out there have any links or ways to prove this to me? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

And was it better living under this dictatorship than in some of the worst and most corrupt democracies (where poverty kills more people than a dictator would/could)?
I'd be interested to hear from people who've actually lived in a dictatorship.
The reason I ask is about 50% of Chileans speak highly of General Pinochet, as do quite a few spaniards of Franco, and not to mention all the lefties who love Castro.
There seem to be a lot of people in the US/UK who spout off things like 'freedom isn't free' in the comfort of their stable and prosperous democracy, when probably living under a dictatorship they'd be the last to stand up and fight against at.

Do the math.

Get a copy of the US budget, find the programs you hate, add them all up, then figure out the percentage they represent of the entire budget,

Then apply that percentage to your most recent tax filing.

Remember, 50% goes to the military and 30% goes to interest on the debt. That leaves 20% for everything else, from dredging the Mississippi, to direct welfare payments, to corporate welfare., to roads in natonal parks.

Do the math.

I'm 43 years of age, with a beautiful wife and four kids. I have no visible scars. I wash the Buik once a week, mow the lawn on a Sunday and take the kids to school every day. I've never had an affair and I hate people who lie. Sometimes, I visit the skid-row area in Washington DC and give money to the poor, other times I visit the homeless and hand out food parcels on the street.
I have vowed that if I ever get to the White House, I'll only appear on television strapped to a lie detector.
Well, what do you think? Should I?

I can't understant the argument that Americans shouldn't be forced to pay taxes, when in the constitution it clearly states (article 1, section 8) that congress has the power to "lay and collect taxes"

From where I'm standing, all I see are cardboard cut-outs who play games in front of the TV cameras.
Will we ever see another Gandhi, or a Martin Luther King? Somebody who will lay down their life for what's right in the world.

My grandfather homestead Oregon land. He met all the requirements to own this land. He was NOT a swatter. He died in 1939 without a will or any probate records to be found. Without any documentation, would that land not automatically go to his heirs? The land patent signed by the president of the United States say that the land is his and his heirs FOREVER. If he did not sell it, could the heir claim ownership of it?

FOXnews says he died 12/16/2001. Why wasn't this on national news? What does this mean about the bin Laden video tapes and audio tapes we were shown post-9/11? Why hasn't Bush admitted that Osama has been dead since 2001, something that could actually be called a victory in this War on Terror?

OK, 9/11 truth movement peeps. Riddle me this:

Heat kinks---is a railroad term for the tracks deforming due to summer heat.

http://www.depotnews.com/CSX/020801CSXa.htm

http://whyfiles.org/069renew_energy/1.html

The tracks can shift from mere inches to feet.

So, if the SUN can "kink" steel and deform it. Why is it so hard to fathom a 700-1000 Deg F fire could not kink and cause structural failure to the buildings of the WTC??

I know there are several titles, but I want the highest possible ranking of a military army. Is it general, or commander, or something else? Basically, what's the title of the person who takes charge of the army, the person whom the soldiers follow into battle?

Why is the fact that the earth is getting warmer assume to be a bad thing?

I understand certain parts of the world it would be bad especially where it is hot already.

But on the flip side of the coin growing crops in the tundra of Canada or Alaska would that be so bad seems like 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.
