Do you think selling arms to the people, like the Saudis, which is the home to terrorist, extremist radicals, and of those on the aircrafts that hit the Trades, is a step toward "Peace", or just an oxyMORON?

TRhose who violate guidelines will be reported as I don't want to hear garbage! This is a legitimate question! If you don't have an opinion please do not answer it!

>This is fairly long, but very informative. First you have to read the catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, the intro to World War III was on November 1979... that alarm has been ringing for years.

>AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed). Maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a-

Everytime we have a republican the debt goes up and our surplus dissapears! Its amazing how the conservatives harp on the fact that democrats SEEM to like taxes. Every time we have a democrat we have abundance. Why is that?

If given the choice of labor unions (which are incorporated FYI) or corporations guess which one Ill choose?

Is there going to come a day when the successful workers and entrepreneurs of this country are going to say ENOUGH. They work themselves to the bone only to have half their earnings stolen by the Socialist/Progressives to buy votes. How FAIR is that?

All these opinions about whether to leave or not to leave coming from the White House, the Senate, the Congress...and of course yahoo posters'.... Why isn't anyone listening to the Iraqi citizens ? 89% of Iraqi's want the US out yesterday !

So are we trying to convince them that they are still a sovereign nation with a stable government, while at the same time doing what WE THINK we should do, instead of what THEY WANT us to do... ???

Operation Iraqi freedom will never be a success until you let them decide as a FREE country whether or not they want us to leave.

Does anyone think that we can end this conflict with military might alone?

We are faced with a lack of commitment from Iraq's neighbors:

We are faced with a lack of responsiblity from the fledgling Iraqi government:

For those of you who think that opposing this war means 'asking for failure' and 'not supporting the troops':

Aren't we already failing on all of the fronts that we need to have success in if we want the efforts of those brave men and women to come to fruition?

And is doing a poor job in every other area of this conflict
(reconstruction, regional aid and support, and diplomacy, etc.)
a much larger show of lack of support than bringing them home?

When he said:

""I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country...corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war."

It is almost unanimous among experts that there is improvement in Iraq.

No, things are not perfect, but they are getting better every day.

Should we still be thinking about withdrawing our forces at this point?

We are finding ourselves lagging behind the rest of the world. And, our government has us stalled in the sands of Iraq which is sucking our resources and treasury. Has America lost it's edge when it comes to being the forerunners of innovation, problem solving and progress in the world. Are we stuck in the crude fossilized age of the 1950's technologies and mentality because of our overwhelming dependence on corporate American interests and oil interests which are counterproductive to advancing new energy solutions? Is it too late for America?

Did you hear her ask Tony Snow today if the selling of arms to Saudi Arabia is Bush's way of finacially advancing the Carlyle Group and the companies of the military industrial complex!?!?!?!

His reply was the regurgitation of the status quo..."We're helping our allies defend themselves." Or something along those usual lines!
