It seems that if Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds had safe areas where there was heavy troop coverage and tight border control for those areas, ordinary Iraqis could get on with their lives. It would also be safe for ordinary people other than soldiers to go into Iraq and help (via groups like the Peace Corps and Habitat for Humanity) to build things that won't get immediately torn down and restore some sort of normalcy to the many Iraqis not interested in having a civil war.

Is America is on the verge of an energy crisis?

Due to years of neglect and short-sighted domestic policies, America is on the verge of an energy crisis. Our supply of energy has not kept pace with our demand. Today our nation produces 39% less oil than we did in 1970. This leaves us dependent on foreign suppliers, who often do not have America’s best interests at heart. In the last Congress, I co-sponsored the Vehicle and Fuel Choices for America Security Act. This bill aims to reduce our oil consumption by 2.5 million barrels per day in ten years by taking an innovative, market-based approach that relies on advanced technology and an expansion of renewable fuels. I will continue to fight for energy independence.

Should family begin with marriage?

I believe that our society’s strength lies in its most fundamental building block, the family unit. Family begins with marriage. We must defend the institution of marriage by defending the definition of marriage. The right to marry is not the right to redefine marriage. Marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

Do i smell more Democratic Hypocrisy?

Ok, the biggest criticism of Donald Rumsfeld was his military plan for Iraq...

Rumsfeld believed in using less troops in Iraq, and more technology (airstrikes, tanks, machine guided airplanes, etc.)...

And essentially, according to the democrats.. at the time, we were slowly winning/failing in taking over key parts of Iraq.

The democrats were not happy with that, so they forced him to resign, essentially.

And now, the Democrats are saying that we need to lower/relinquish our troops in Iraq....

I mean, before they were unhappy with America's success in Iraq because of the limited number of troops/funding Rumsfeld sent..

and now they want to end the number of troops/funding sent to Iraq...

Would that mean you LIKE Rumsfeld? Or is there something more to it? Was Congress afraid of Rumsfeld because he was doing exactly what the Democrats wanted (lowering funding/troops), and showing exactly how much of a failure it was?

Who really holds the power in Iran?

I have heard that the President of Iran is just a spokesperson, an ambassador, and little more than that. Much like the Governor General Of Canada. That position is the official head of state of Canada, but really has no power whatsoever.

Who is really in charge in Iran? The president? Or the ruling council of clerics?

Does the Pres have any powers at all?

Blair says he's in the Labour Party and not the Conservative Party because the former will allow more people..

....in society to have a chance at success.

Success is widely-defined, but the PM is talking along the lines of
succeeding at education, careers, starting your own business, social participation, the arts...

Going by rough figures since the Second World War, can you indicate whether this is true?

I can give one indicator which suggests it is not. The proportion of places at top universities going to middle/upper-class students is increasing. You can think of reasons why: in the 1960s, grammar schools ensured intelligent, poor children got into university. Their numbers have been cut back, hence fewer intelligent, poor children going into higher education.

Why don't we help the hungry in the United States?

I understand that other countries need help but now is the time to concentrate on our own people. We need to band together to come up with more solutions to poverty in America. We have a growing problem here and it needs to be addressed. If we don't care of our own then how can we effectively help others? I would be more than eager to head up an organization that supports Americans. If we can't help our "own" then how can we even begin to help others?
