I think yes and I think Harry knows..should he be sent to Iraq where he could be harmed?
If anything happens to Harry you will know exactly who Blair works for in my opinion, not British interests.

1988 Iran is forced to accept the United Nations mandated cease-fire. Saddam uses this opportunity to use poison gas on Kurdish villages for their support of Iran during the war. Saddam rounds up Kurdish males and executes them, amounting to more than 200 thousand Kurdish deaths in 1988 alone. More than 300 thousand is the eventual death toll.

Can any Christian honestly say that they follow every single rule of the bible all the time and if not, why do you criticize the rest of us for not following the bible even though you don’t either?

By the way, if anyone actually says they do, they are full of ****.

Now I understand Bush wants to pass a " guest worker program " but no where in there does it say anything about an Ellis island type facility , what I mean by that is Ellis island was a place where people were checked for disease and if they had them they were not allowed in , but there not checked now . Don't you believe we need this type of facility before Chagas and a host of other diseases from Mexico becomes an American problem , let alone an epidemic ?

see link on Chagas -http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-chagas15mar15,0,5645224.story?coll=la-default-underdog

Considering the Democrats will not rubberstamp Bush Administration policies or actions, and are now asking tough questions, demanding real explanations and attempting to do the will of the people rather than Corporate America regarding Iraq, Bush and Company's prospects for success in forging ahead with their miscreant ways appear a little bleak. Administration officials (Gonzales and Rove) are now scurrying around with egg on their faces looking for places to hide. There are none.

Poor George, perhaps he should have thought things through a little more carefully before thinking he could hide all his actions from the American public. There is an old saying that murder will out. In this case, perhaps we should add so will gross mismanagement, misrepresentation, obfuscation, arrogance, incompetence and downright "disassembling" (dissembling), to use one of Dubya's favorite words.

Just curious, I went home with a friend from college once who had a framed picture of them looking a little hazy eyed. It would be cool to see the picture again...They looked fairly young. I asked him is his family was big supporters of them, but he just laughed it off and said that his mom "just likes potheads." Is there any evidence out there?

Do you think Bush realizes that he gets an automatic no strings attached "cut & run" from the Iraq war when his term ends in 2009?

Those who choose not to serve their country are pathetic human beings that do not deserve the freedoms for which others have paid the ultimate price. Go ahead and try to convince yourselves that this is not YOUR war, that you will not be treated fairly upon return, blah...blah...blah.... these are all excuses that clearly separate men from boys. Men serve their country - period.

Have you noticed the excuses for not serving the country? If a President orders war - should the country stand behind him and serve?

I was having a discussion with a friend and he thinks that there will always be a percentage of americans in these three classes and I believe otherwise. I think the middle class is going away and that in the future we will just have a upper class and poor class. That with time the middle class will disappear. What does America think? I really like some good input and if anyone knows where i can find some articles on this please send them my way.

Did you know that Hillary used to be on the board of WalMart in Bentonville Arkansas? A YA user told me so in his answer and I checked. So, like all good logic courses, if you support hillary, and she supports the Al Sharpton Show, then you are saying I agree with AL Sharpton's Bigotry and I like it!
Even Liberlas can't possibly like AL Sharpton. Heck, even my closest black friends think he's the biggest jerk and promotes race infighting. SO what do you think about these two together? A matched set?

Boris Berezovsky is of jewish origin and he had hoped russia would go into melt down after he fled th country,but it didn't work out that way. The u.k was the only country that gave him refugee status and yet he is a wanted criminal. So should he be extradited to face criminal charges in russia?

My thoughts are that it is about time an everday American citizen be voted in the White House.

Some top subjects that I would change.
1. Put the Fair Tax into place
2. Stop the free welfare system. Those that can work would receive a free education for a good job, they would still receive welfare and free daycare if needed, but once they have the Bachelors Degree they would then be required to get a job to support themselves. No more free lunch. If you have kids on welfare, you will not be able to have any other children until you are off welfare. Free education would require drug testing.
3. Use people in our jail system to help farmers farm land, so they stop using illegal aliens, this would be like the system in place for cleaning up the highways. Cheap labor for farmers and other businesss that could utilize less violent crimnals in jail.
4. Enforce immigration laws on businesss that hire illegal aliens. No more anchor babies, if you are illegal so is your baby.

So much furor over Imus' stupid off-hand comment...why isn't anyone screaming about Louis Farrakhan?

Check out his quotes against Jews, whites, government, gays, says whites intentionally bombed the levee during Katrina to kill blacks, etc. http://www.adl.org/special_reports/farrakhan_own_words2/on_whites.asp

Every political, social, economical, spiritual direction, guided by the almighty dollar - while also proclaiming to be Christian? What a laugh. How can any Republican claim to be Christian and maintain a straight face?

I asked two of my republican friends why they weren't interested in teaching careers. They both remarked that teacher and professor salaries suck.

Is this why so many teachers and professors are democrats? Because republicans can make more money elsewhere?
