As international political powers seek Iran's capitulation on nuclear weapons development, little notice is given to what the Americans and the British have done to create this crisis nor what steps the Israelis might eventually take to make it profoundly more complicated.

Iran's antipathy toward the West did not spontaneously generate out of the crazed rhetoric of radical mullahs. It has been spurred by what Iranians see as hypocrisy on the part of members of the world's nuclear community, and the bumbled meddling of the US and UK in Iranian affairs for more than a half century.

Iran is dangerous, but the British and the Americans have helped to make it that way. And the situation is even more precarious than it appears.

Does this indicate a general shift further to the left or does this indicate that Democratic powers that be have a penchant for rich new faces with little or no political experience

It just amazes me how many "intellectual" liberals think negotiating with terrorists will work. Israel tried it for years and Hezbollah just rearmed. What will take for these lib fools to wake up, or do they just hate America? Saddam funded suicide bombers in Palestine, threatened the USA, and Iraqis did attack us (WTC '93 regardless of what the ignoramuses say on the left.) They call defending America warmongering. The Moore clan (democrats) were even b!tching about the war in Afghanistan. So, why are democrats so weak on defense. With Lieberman gone as a democrat, this shows how much cowardice and intolerance has filtered into the DNC. Oh for the courage of JFK in a democrat. They'd be calling JFK a warmonger for standing up to Russia in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Are you a conservative who hates liberals?
Are you a liberal who hates conservatives?

This country has been successfully divided to the point of collapse. Who has done this?

Terrorism is being used as a wedge to drive us even further apart. Who is doing it?

All it will take is a few more wedges skillfully applied to make our system fall apart economically (turn off the oil), militarily (civil war), ideologically (theocracy vs. secularism). Who is doing this?

Conservatives who blame liberals are SHEEP.
Liberals who blame conservatives are SHEEP.

This is how completely we've been divided: WE EVEN BLAME EACH OTHER FOR THE DIVISION.

"Divide and conquer". The oldest tactic in the book, and it's working like a charm.

THE U.S. IS BEING CONQUERED.

Come on, let's hear from the SHEEP.

WHO IS DIVIDING US?

Come on, conservative SHEEP. BLAME THE LIBERALS.
Come on, liberal SHEEP. BLAME THE CONSERVATIVES.

You HOPELESS SHEEP.

BAAAHHHH. BAAAHHH. GOOD LITTLE SHEEP.

I'm a conservative that grew up in northern Virginia. I'm a registered Republican but believe the party has lost a lot of its backbone by failing to pass Social Security reform, immigration reform, to make the national language English, and by reaching out to minorities not on the party platform, but by subtly pandering to race (Bush speaks Spanish to Latino crowds; Congressional Republicans point to Condi Rice and Colin Powell as examples of high-ranking blacks in the administration, something that goes against the color-blind, best-man-for-the-job platform Republicans are supposed to stand for).

Libertarians never win elections, yet they hold true to their beliefs--beliefs which are pretty much in lock-step with conservative principals (save for legalizing drugs).

Plus, they seem to have a lot of common sense (ever watch John Stossel?). I feel as if my party should stand for something without compromise. Is the Libertarian Party the answer?

Thanks!

Shouldn't these two issues be treated seperately? Why link them together? The estate tax isn't even an issue right now anyways...

Quote from the link: "The estate tax doesn't have to be addressed until the end of 2010, when current law expires"

It's from FOX news, so don't give me no liberal media bull..

Go to his profile. Check out how many open and in voting questions there are. And of the resolved questions - all of them were chosen by voters.
I don't think he's reading the answers.
I think he posts a question, gets a cheap thrill knowing he just pissed somebody off, then moves on to the next question.
So, since he's not reading our answers, should we stop answering him.
That goes for you conservatives, too. He's not reading your answers either.

I am interested in opinions from Republicans and Democrats, both for and against the war. Please state your party and stance on the war if you want to be considered for the best answer.

Im a Republican and all of my liberal friends keep telling me that Hillary Clinton should run for president. When I ask the simple question why, they always somehow end up bashing the Republican Party, saying that democrats in office can do a far better job on all levels. But I want to know how she, and other possible nominees are planning on "doing a better job."

I am curious - for all these cries of "bring home the troops", will anyone actually go from viewing President Bush as "unfavorable" to "favorable" if he announced the troops would come home by, say, the end of the year, and they did? Or would the people who disapprove of Bush now still disapprove, but only give a different reason?
