If a woman is raped in Pakistan, she has to have 4 adult male Islamic witnesses to prove it. If she doesn't, she will be held for up to 2 years without bond or trial, for adultery. Why doesn't the UN, or the US for that matter, get involved with these blatant human rights violations? When does freedom of religion get in the way of human rights, and when do you step in?

You think I'm joking, well i'm not, according to some people on this forum, everything that the Bush admisitration had to deal with from 9/11 to the War in Iraq and the National Debt being so high, it was Clintons fault. So if Clinton was at fault for the Iraq War, according to some of the people on this forum, what should we do?

"Stay The Course" to a bankrupt nation?
"Stay The Course" to a terrorized nation?
"Stay The Course" to the death of soldiers?
"Stay The Course" to no progress in Iraq?

What does "Stay The Course" mean?

Lawyers for Slick Willy Clinton penned a letter to ABC on Friday demanding that the network correct what they consider "fiction" regarding 'The Path to 9/11' docudrama or decide not to broadcast it.

They can sit silent during such fictional and misleading garbage as "Fahrenheit 9/11" but when someone -- especially their beloved Hollywood -- dares to take another tack, and one based on FACT, they resort to what they do best: WHINING!

Some people trash Bush as though they could do a better job as president (laughable), but God forbid any of the loony left ever get back in that office. Bill Clinton is more responsible for 9/11 than anyone alive save bin Laden himself. The Republicans may not be doing everything right (illegal immigration and worrying about what the world thinks instead of dropping an iron hammer on Iraq, for example), but at least they are DOING something.

Does anyone seriously doubt we would have been attacked again after 9/11with Democrats in charge?

Does that injunction mean: "If you must wage war -- if it is impossible to avoid war -- then you stand a better chance of winning by being tricky"? Or does it mean: "Thou shalt wage war, and thou shalt deceive"?

e.g: Today's foiled attacks against U.S. embassy in Syria!

Yup, Stalin hated Jews and God and the followers of God, and believed the government had to run peoples' lives. Opponents were worthy only of death. He was the ultimate liberal.

Hitler would never have overrun Europe if he had been confronted with conservative governments instead of the liberal governments of England and France in the 1930's. Those liberal governments were afraid of war and let Hitler take over countries and arm himself to the teeth, lest people get hurt if they didn't do what Hitler wanted. They also believed that if they loved Hitler, then Hitler would love them back and everybody would have a love-in and there would be world peace.

Hitler himself showed many traits of liberals - hatred of Jews, control of the people by the government...


99% of the world's misery is caused by liberals.

They are closer to us than Iraq. The leader is hostile to us. Shouldn't we be afraid? Maybe they'll attack us. Should we attack them before they have a chance to attack us? Maybe they have WMD.

For all you Clinton lovers who say personal life doesn't matter if it doesn't affect job, can now see that it did, in fact have an effect on his job, and ultimately 3000 people (r.i.p.) Anybody brave enough to admit to this now?

"Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq, the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone" <---Would this be the case if we had never invaded Iraq?

"They will not leave us alone. They will follow us. The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad." <-- Does this mean that if we pull out of Iraq, the Iraqis will come to America and start a new war in our streets?

"I am often asked why we are in Iraq when Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks," Bush said. "The answer is that the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat. <---Iraq needed a Regime change? Wasn't it a based on false information? Doesn't China, North Korea, Cuba, and Iran need a regime change? If I remember correctly, the war was based on WMD's, why is the justification now a Regime Change?

More than 160 million people in India are considered "Untouchable"—people tainted by their birth into a caste system that deems them impure, less than human.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/06/0602_030602_untouchables.html

Human rights abuses against these people, known as Dalits, are legion. A random sampling of headlines in mainstream Indian newspapers tells their story: "Dalit boy beaten to death for plucking flowers"; "Dalit tortured by cops for three days"; "Dalit 'witch' paraded naked in Bihar"; "Dalit killed in lock-up at Kurnool"; "7 Dalits burnt alive in caste clash"; "5 Dalits lynched in Haryana"; "Dalit woman gang-raped, paraded naked"; "Police egged on mob to lynch Dalits".

The most ignored and worse injustice inflicted upon man.

Until India combats this issue, there is no reason why the rest of the world should not see India as a racist hotspot and not fit for democracy.

Tampa woman who lost eight relatives in the attacks converts to Islam as tensions simmer from the memories and new terror plots.

http://www.sptimes.com/2006/09/08/Tampabay/Faith_s_friction.shtml

Her mother named her Elizabeth after the queen of England. More than four decades later, she took another name: Safia Al-Kasaby, reflecting her new identity as a Muslima.

Safia, 43, is an unlikely candidate for conversion. She claims Jewish and Puerto Rican ancestry. She is a former sergeant first class in the Air Force National Guard. And she lost eight relatives — one uncle and seven cousins — in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

She found Islam in 2005 on the third day of a Moroccan vacation.

“I just felt like God was there,” she said, recalling her visit to a mosque during the call for prayer. “I said, 'This is it. I believe there is only one God. His name is Allah, and his messenger is Mohammed.’”

What do you think of this;

"Views of US

The US edges out Russia for the dubious distinction of having the largest number of countries rating it as having a negative influence in the world, with 15 countries saying it has a negative influence and just 6 countries viewing it as positive.

On average, a plurality of 47 percent view US influence in the world as mostly negative, while 38 percent view it as mostly positive and 15 percent did not answer either way. The countries most negative towards the US are Argentina (65%), Germany (64%), Russia (63%), Turkey (62%), Canada (60%) and Mexico (57%). Majorities see US influence as positive in the Philippines (88%), South Africa (56%), India (54%), Poland (52%), and South Korea (52%). A plurality of Italians (49%) are also positive."

Since all those countries have a negative opinion of us - shouldn't we be afraid of them? Maybe they'll attack us. Should we pre-emptively attack them before they have a chance to attack us?
