I am wondering if there something that Bush could use in the event he didn't want to leave office. I don't see him going to easily. Do you think that he will reach out and use something to help him stay longer?

The USA and Canada have comparable numbers of guns per capita, but the USA has far more gun violence per capita than Canada. How do you explain this phenomenon?

(Regarding the Yahoo news article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070114/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_iraq)

The man who claims he has a "new" plan to once again send more troops to Iraq and who is supposed to act on behalf of the people of our country "said he has the authority to act no matter what Congress wants," according to the news article above. Congress is filled with representatives of THE PEOPLE of the U.S., and a majority of congresspersons oppose what Bush refers to as a "new" plan in Iraq, which is obviously the same old strategy started after the hideous Operation Shock and Awe ended (i.e., unlimited buildup of troops and unlimited spending).

Bush undoubtedly believes, as he's done in the past, that he can challenge Congress as he is now doing and Congress will back down. Isn't it time Congress does it's job to show our drunk-with-power president that he does NOT have exclusive and unlimited powers as president of the United States?

Washington - The senior Pentagon official in charge of military detainees suspected of terrorism said in an interview this week that he was dismayed that lawyers at many of the nation's top firms were representing prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and that the firms' corporate clients should consider ending their business ties.

The comments by Charles D. Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, produced an instant torrent of anger from lawyers, legal ethics specialists and bar association officials, who said Friday that his comments were repellent and displayed an ignorance of the duties of lawyers to represent people in legal trouble.

"This is prejudicial to the administration of justice," said Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University and an authority on legal ethics. "It's possible that lawyers willing to undertake what has been long viewed as an admirable chore will decline to do so for fear of antagonizing important clients

The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering.

The C.I.A. has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say.

American Government has been supporting economically, politically and many ways the countries having anti-democratic governments even dictatorships since long, for example, Saudi Arabia and Arab sheaiks countries, Iran when it was a Imerialist country of Shah Iran, the dictors of Cobodia, Chilli, Panama, Granada, Geotamala, Iraq when Sadam got a lot of American Aid, Talaban when they fought with USSR even though they believe on dictatorship and many countries of Asia, Africa and South America. Is it fare to support a dictator who killed millions of annocent peoples?

Nationalism and religion has caused nothing but pure misery around the world for centuries. To even contemplate 'seperation' means to segregate yourself from others and become inward , backward and insular thinking. I'm a working class Scot and have no quams about my British [UK] status. Gordon Brown is exactly right when he says that the 'nationalists' are opportunists with no track record that must be guarded against. One saving grace is that the way the voting system is set up in Scotland , no-one gets overall control. The 'nationalists' say they are socialists too , where have I heard that before [National Socialist Party of Germany].... Nazi Germany. Look at the bigger picture and oust the idea straight away.

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.

Jonny Cline, of the international student group, said that Jewish students and youth groups with their understanding of the web environment were ideally placed to present another side to the debate.“We’re saying to these people that if Israel is being bashed, don’t ignore it, change it,” Mr Cline said.“A poll like CNN’s takes just a few seconto vote in, but if thousands take part the outcome will be changed. What’s vital is that the international face of the conflict is balanced.”

Doron Barkat, 29, in Jerusalem, spends long nights trawling the web to try to swing the debate Israel’s way.“When I see internet polls for or against Israel I send out a mailing list to vote for Israel,” he said.“It can be that after 15 minutes there will be 400 votes for Israel.“It’s very satisfying. There are also forums where Lebanese and Israelis talk.”

How do you plan to protest against Bush? Have you emailed or called your Congressperson? What else have you done?

"People in the United States already were angry about the war before Bush said he would try to bring unrelentingly violent Iraq back from the brink by adding 21,500 more U.S. troops to the 132,000 there now. Polls show the U.S. public overwhelmingly does not like the idea."

"Yet many Republican lawmakers, too, have begun to criticize Bush's war management. Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska, for example, said last week he feared Bush's plan would be the worst foreign policy blunder since the Vietnam War."
