Should they have applied for citizenship like anyone else coming from any other country? Is it fair that they took the land through terrorism from the original inhabitants? Ariel Sharon blew up bridges to prevent the British army from defending and aiding the Palestinians. Now the Israeli army keeps Palestinian people in cages while Israeli women curse at them in Arabic and spit on them. Have we Jews learned nothing from our own history of persecution that we turn right around and abuse other people? Have you seen Munich? Golda Meier sanctioned violent acts, and the movie was made Spielberg, so it isn't biased against Jews, it is a truthful exposure of Jewish guilt.

Should the United Kingdom become a republic? What's your opinion and why? Also, please state whether or not you are British or live in the UK, because this helps to get a better understanding of how the people it would effect feel.

["Foreign policy is about protecting America," said author Michael Scheuer, who used to head the CIA's bin Laden unit. "Our foreign policy is doing the opposite."]

Your best strategy on this one, is to attack Reuters, don't you think? I surely wouldn't bother attacking Mr. Scheuer. He knows more about the situation than what you may have picked up on FOX News.

But wait. You could always attack me. There's an idea.
Start with something original, like calling me a "liberal". That should do the trick.

The laws of supply and demand dictate gasoline prices.
China and India, with their populatios in the billions are taking your jobs and money to buy cars and gasoline (demand) while NOT supplying of the petroleum for gasoline. (Supply).
We see the results daily.
What can America DO about it?
Can't blame the oil companies. The environmental extermists won't allow the building of refineries or the drilling for oil.
Neither China or India have polution controls on their cars but they want US to reduce polution!
The Kyoto Accords exempt China and India from controling polution.
Serious comments and suggestions PLEASE.

It's obviously too low in the UK otherwise there wouldn't be so many people struggling to buy houses and support their families. I reckon £16,000 should be a minimum full-time wage. Why is it that hard work is so low valued these days?

Has anyone else noticed that the news outlets have stopped barrel-oil prices? Is it because American oil companies are raising prices when oil prices are falling? Why do all Republicans support high gas prices?

A long time ago Democrats and Leftists like Rosie Osamell heard Bush say that the war in Iraq was over on an aircraft carrier. Can some find that proof? Or will you just find that he indeed said something else. BTW, I voted for Bush but do not support all of his policies. If I hear a..." well I heard on NPR"... or something from a dumb liberal website I'll just laugh at you! Good luck!

I recently wrote an article on women in the mid-forties and on, who have been married for over 15 years and ended up divorced. One of the issues that many of them discussed is the idea that women should pay taxes to the IRS on alimony that has already been taxed. Essentially, this money is double taxed. When you understand the premise for alimony, (whether one agrees with it or not), according to a divorce court, that money is given to sustain a woman's life because of a breech of promise. It is not considered earned income. So we have the wonderful IRS declaring that it is income. Your thoughts?

An OBO study disputes this as false, as most poor households have had almost a tripling of income since passage of welfare reform. One has to give credit to both the Republican congress at the time, as well as President Bill Clinton for signing the legislation, although reluctantly.

Since the poor are not getting poorer, then why do Liberal politicians say they are? Is it simply punishment of the rich, higher taxation, and personal power that drives their inaccurate statements?

Harry Reid had close ties to Abramoff, and worked extensively for Jack's clients who funnelled cash to Reid. He sure knows how to get cheap land. He must be lucky. This guy is as bad as they get, but the Liberals NEVER challenge his position. As a matter of fact...it's the opposite. Reid's relentless attacks on "the culture of corruption" are front and center.

Have you Liberals seen the Abscam tapes with Murtha? The guy's been elected how many times? All you have to do is say you are liberal and you get a free pass. Come on Libs! You talk about challenging authority, but ONLY Republican authority. Where is your backbone?

By the way, I believe all government is full of corruption, and that is why we should limit it's size and power.

• Salaries are still below where they were at the start of the recovery in November 2001. That, while productivity -- the growth of the economic pie -- is up by almost 15 percent. Meaning we're working harder, producing more, for the same money as five years ago.
• Since the recession ended in 2001, 50 percent more of the growth in corporate income was sucked up as profits than after past recessions. That's left less for those of us who work for a living.
• As a result, median household income has now fallen for five years in a row. It was 4 percent, or $2,000, lower in 2004 than it was in 1999

I've been following the Alberto Gonzales thing, so I'm just curious about who has more "power". Wikipedia lists the Attorney General as "the chief lawyer of the US government"....but wikipeida has the Chief Justice as "the highest judicial officer in the country". So what exactly is the difference?

Norman Tebbit refused to take part in a BBC 'reunion' with the IRA bomber who left his wife paralysed:

"I wrote telling them the only reunion I'd be happy to attend was the one where Magee was reunited with a bomb"

I don't care if you think he was a member of Evil Thatcher's Cabinet, surely it was totally morally bankrupt for the BBC to make such a sick request?

I think this reaches out to the wider issue of whether or not these murderers should have been lined up and shot, rather than set free - a sentiment Tebbit himself has expressed publicly aswell as privately.

What do you think?

So my question is,

Can anyone tell us what Oil Companies Bush owns stock in and how much stock does he own ?

Does anyone have facts to back up their allegations, or are people just making it up as they go ?

I do remember reading at www.publicintegrity.org the list of Bush's assets, and I don't remember seeing any stock holdings in Oil Companies.

http://www.publicintegrity.org/bop2004/dw.aspx

Sometimes that link works, sometimes it doesn't.
