Why is America giving these countries the contract to make goods to be sold in America. Yet America hardly gives the Americans the job. Is it really because they are cheap labor or more to have good relations or something else?

I think that if the US and Russia always start arguing with one another over petty big things, it would be good, so that there is always balance of power.

And similar scenarios like Iraq and Soviet era Afghanistan won't be seen again.

Is the Cold War going to return?

We've declared a war on drugs... what's to prevent a group of law abiding Americans in small cities throughout the nation from "mounting and attack" on the inner-city drug dealing thugs?

Why does the United States maintain diplomatic relations and trade with China, and still maintain an embargo on Cuba? Very contradictory isn't it?

each time they fill up their gasoline tank. Also do they seem to not realize that once U.S troops pull out we have the making of WW III as Iran is strategically waiting for the collapse of Iraq so they can take over the oil sights. Am I the only one who does that sees this (you can argue all you want about the war if it was justify or not and in most cases it is not, but to say that a troop pull out will benefit the nation in the long run is absurd). A troop pull out will create so much havoc in the area that we will be put in an even worse situation then we are now. Regardless how you feel we cannot deny that our economy is depend on oil and our need for it is an absolute. If we pull out this will cause a big time problem of the price of oil and therefore our economy also to pull out without Iraq being fully equipped to protect themselves is very irresponsible. We still have bases in Japan and in Germany that exist because we help build those two nations after the WW II. How is this different?

Why do you think Mohammedans are killing Westerners as well as their own people in Iraq, England, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Algeria, Kenya, Palestinian territories, the U.S., Malaysia, Indonesia, Chechnya, Jordan, Darfur, Spain, France, Germany, etc.

Is this violence an inherent characteristic of Islam?

Why haven't there been mass demonstrations by Mohammedans against terror?

...of government, or a Fascist form of government? Being Hillary Clinton favors Communal style government & Rudy Giuliani favors a Fascist style of government, I need your input on this. What advantage do you see in one over the other? Which would better control you & your fellow Americans?

After the Gulf War he stated:

"I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.

And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don't think you could have done all of that without significant additional U.S. casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war.

And the question in my mind is, how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is, not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the President made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

why r cons so down on "socialized" healthcare when we have "socialized" firemen, "socialized" police and "socialized" schools. what i mean is that why should we not have government-run heathcare when all those things i just mentioned are government run. insurence companies want to make a profit and not help you. in england and france they have great government run healthcare so why can't we. like insurence companies find ways to not help you. If your house was on fire would the fire dept. not put out your fire because the fire was caused by a prexisting condition on your house??? no they would put out the fire. why cant healthcare be that way???

We have gone from staunch stay the course ...you are a traitor if you dont to them even criticizing Bush strategy in Iraq, but still saying they won't support a pulllout as Democrats want.

The whole thing smells like a game to me.......as in trying to have their cake and eat it too. To seem to criticize Bush but when it comes to a vote in Congress to still give Bush the power to do as he wishes....which in essence is stay the course.

My question is ......are they fooling you???? and when it comes to election day 2008, will you remember that the Iraq war is Bush's war and that it is Bush who has kept it going and is keeping it going now as we speak with the help of republicans lawmakers?? Will you remember this? and will you seek to extract your pound of flesh from the right wingers on the next glorious day of reckoning at the voting booth?

..regarding the investigation into the Pat Tillman friendly fire cover up?

Seriously. What could be so earth shakingly secret that releasing it to the Congress would harm the "war" on terror or US interests? Doesn't this strain credulity more than a little?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Bush-lover. But lets look at liberals and leftists ranting about how 'evil' we are. Cindy Sheehan called USA a fascist state. WTF? If USA was a fascist state, she wouldn't even be able to say a word about the war and every protester would be either shot or put into concentration camps. Tookie Williams, a convicted murderer sentenced to death, became a hero for leftists because they think that his execution was a racist decision. Are they nuts?! He murdered four innocent people. What the hell does it have to do with race? There are white people who are being executed, but I don't see anybody complaining about racism. When another black armed suspect is shot by the police, the officers are being accused of racism and black people claim they are being oppressed. Are you moron? A suspect was shot because he was threatening innocent people, not because of his race. I'm sick of those retarded, ignorant and totally ridiculous claims of oppression and racism!!

"We have sent a message to your young people that if you don't go to college and you don't have a high-paying job--something like a basketball palyer or an entertainer, or maybe someone in a corporation--that you're thought less of in America."
Hillary Clinton

Since when do we do that in this country? Most people I know don't have a college degree and have done quite well for themselves. 72% of Americans don't have a college degree and about half never attended college. Who is this woman talking about anyway?

During the 90's when the republicans controlled congress and the Democrats controlled the white house, a bi-partisen agreement was reached that any time a program was proposed that included increased spending, it had to be offset by reducing spending somewhere else. The result was a budget surplus. After George Bush was elected, the republicans controlled Congress and the Whitehouse. At that time pay as you go was abandoned. It seemed like very logical idea and have never understood why it was pushed to the side.
