If Osama Bin Laden were somehow taken alive, what would you want to see happen with him? Trial? Or swift execution? Or merely hold him indefinetly as a prisoner of war?

What does he deserve? What would be right and just?

It's horrifying to watch but you just can't keep you eyes off it? And every time you think the worst is over, something even more horrible happens & you have to keep on watching.

And for theocons/conservatives it's even worse because they are either speechless or they have to come up with the most ridiculus explainations to try and save a guy who the voted for TWICE!

Theocons/conservatives, if you weren't such a bunch of p*icks i'd actually feel sorry for you.

So basically Bush & Co. have to answer to no one?

They can do whatever the hell they please, and Bush can just say no?

Is this REALLY what our government has become?

Why the politicians in this country keep saying that "we're the richest country on earth" ,"Number one" etc, when in fact the US is way behind when it comes to providing a DECENT minimum income,compared with many other highly industrialized countries in Europe, where the lowest--paid workers make more money than the same here in US !!??

Is a unified world order, where there are no countries, kingdoms and borders, like the one proposed by Rabindranath Tagore (a great Indian poet and novelist in the early 20th century), and also shown in the Star Trek Series, possible in the near future?
There would only be one central Earth government. No movement restrictions, discriminations, war, conflict, economic imbalances between global regions, as there is now. People would be free to move, live and work WHEREVER they wanted.
People currently referred to as Africans could stay in China, Europeans could work and live in the African continent, Indian farmers could cultivate crops in Argentina...In fact, then, they would not be known as Indians, or British or Americans..just Earth humans. Fascinating scenario, don't you think?

I am a Democrat, but have great respect for Arlen Specter (R) even though he's not from my state (would vote for him on character). Isn't it dangerous to allow a president (any president, D or R) to be allowed to manipulate the Constitution and the Congress and prevent real oversight. I certainly do not think that Bush is evil and the end is upon us, but i do think that if the US allows precident to be established on policy that infringes on the individual...the end of what America stands for is coming. Do you respect the Bill of Rights? Or do you just vote for your pocketbook?

His testimony has been beyond amateur hour. My entire high school debate team could run circles around this guy, and we're not even that good. Wouldn't you agree that by definition, if you are loyal to Bush, you must be incompetent?

That is a stupid assumption, because at least half of the republicans hate bush.

Bush is not a conservative. He is a neocon(liberal-ish). That is why many conservatives hate him.

After they set off another staged 9/11 like event, Bush will declare martial law and remain in power for as long as his cronies and Lobbyists need him in power.

Didn't you see Bush's new self appointed powers "if" another National Crisis occurs.

When it happens don't act surprised! You have supported this criminal administration of power hungry illuminati's hell bent on controlling the world. They still need China and Russia, so they are not done!

When Bush and Company set off huge bombs in our largest cities, this will not be a joke anymore! Will you still be his sheep, or will you finally see the light!

And what will we do? will we be able to start a rebellion and overthrow Him or will it be too late?
