Politics - 24 October 2006

The Bush administration has now set a 12-18 months timetable for Iraq security forces to get their act together. For the past 3 years Bush has said that it is wrong to set a timetable because it benefits terrorist planning. This couldn’t be a cheap political trick, could it?

Look at the world as it is today. I mean... look at what you consider "the world", meaning the U.S. Are we really all that well? Do we today have less terrorist hating us than we had five years ago? Do we have less debt? Do we have better health care? Do we have better schools than at the beginning of his reign?

Well knowing that you will come up with a flurry of excuses in order to protect your idol, i would like you to be truthful at least once and show us that you are thinking human beings.

The question you read before you clicked here isn't the real question. The real question is...well, I'll get to that. Be patient.
Many people (from both sides of the political spectrum) have stated that as soon as the other side stops stereotyping them, then they'll stop stereotyping those who disagree with them.
Here's the real question:
Since that's NEVER going to happen, why is it so hard for people to understand that it starts with THEM?
Each Republican, every Democrat, all conservatives, and each liberal NEED to just stop. It starts with YOU, yes, YOU!
YOU (and I, of course) need to rise above it and just STOP. Be better than that. I know you all can be.
PEOPLE are bad, not Democrats, not Republicans.
When will we understand it?

Given the sorry state of affairs, the lack of health care, our international standing, the 8.5 trillion dollars of debt, the self/inflicted increase of global terrorism, the list goes on and on.
When and why did we allow this to happen? Shouldn't we rise and bring this dictatorship to a halt?

The much repeated phrase that "USA saved Europe" is very much untrue, and completely dismissive of the intense war that actually occurred far from the USA and for years without USA involvement. Russia saved Europe, so did the UK, so did France and the other allies... for any country to claim that it is more of a benefactor than the others is untrue and shows an emotionally disturbing lack of empathy. I would reckon that historically only the poor, suppressed Russian civilians and soldiers could claim to have saved anyone.
America did supply vast amounts of material goods, but it did not throw itself, or its soldiers, into combat wholeheartedly. America's most consistent aid was against the Japanese, and not until Japan attacked America directly, and even then America eventually resorted to the massively indiscriminate nuclear bombs rather than "waste" men on resolute Japan.

That's what the case seems to be. It is a know fact that the population of blacks in the US is only about 19%(US Census). It is also a known fact that most murders are commited by Blacks(FBI, US Dept. of Justice). Yet Americans seem to wanna justify their actions by feeling sympathy. Making excuses such as, well most are uneducated, unemployed, living in poverty, not having a chance for a future. That is absurd, last time I checked, America offered Education, Work, and a Chance to move up in the world to all it's citizens. Why do you want us to bow down to them and give them our money?

The FBI for the year 2005 reported 16,692 persons were killed in the United States. They also reported 17,029 offenders in homicides. Whites made up only 5,452 of the offenders while blacks made up 6,376. Blacks in the US make up 19% of the population while Whites make up 66%. Yet in 2005, with a much lower percentage of population, blacks made up a larger number of homocide offenses.

Everyone instead of looking at the facts, they call me racists, what if I am, that still doesn't deny the facts provided by our own Governments FBI and Census. Why are Americans brainwashed?

George W. Bush has stated that the war in Iraq will just be a comma in the history books. I would like to see him tell this face to face to the loved ones of our fallen soldiers. Are our soldier's lives that insignificant to him or does his mouth work alot faster than his brain?
