How does this affect our 2nd Amendment?

I got to say at first I was against the pullout and then started to think it was a good idea. But now it looks like progress is happening. Both the political Iraq and insurgences.

While Bush said going in this would take a long time I think most of us thought probably three or four years and then setup a base and leave. The experts at the time told us no lasting effects were ever accomplished without occupation of at least 5 years and usually 10 years.

We are spoilt Americans and want Rome built in a day. I now think we are so close, it would incredibly stupid to withdraw now and create a situation that magnitudes more may die in the future if we have to go back in or get attacked from terrorists. Just imagine 9/11 took about as many lives as we lost in the war and it was considered a relatively simple attack. If we could get the Middle East stabilized to monitor terrorists on a daily basis, over there, instead of here, I think we'd be a lot safer.

They say national poltics doesnt have much of an effect on a local level, but it must over time. Doesnt this increase in socioapths and hatemongers in our political system eventually lead to some serious consequences in our quality of life?

And if so, what would have to be done to reverse this trend? Surely apathy is not the long-term answer.

Nobody voted for Gordon Brown. They voted for Tony Blair who said he'd serve a full term. I think Gordon Brown should therefore have called an election and let the people decide.

and Yes I am white. and not that I should use the west coast or the east coast or the southernmost part of the country as a measurement, but I have traveled to a lot of big cities in the US. and I'm seeing a new "race" throughout this country. This new "race" is the result of intermingling and intermarriage I believe. Thus we have a new hue of coloring...which I must admit, is rather beautiful.
The United States seems to be becoming a nation of people of color.
Has anyone else noticed?
Will this make a difference in a few decades with reference to each state's government representation?

(Don't answer unless you have traveled to at least four other states besides the one you live in.)

I have associates that came of age in the old communist Russia, and, the atrocities, lack of education in MANY subjects, total state level of control, and violence that occured to people in communist Russia has NOTHING to do with American Democrats or Republicans. It is an insult to the people that suffered through these cruel states.

In May 1968, at the height of the ongoing Vietnam War, Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard despite.

Mr. Bush didn't run away, did he? He served his country. Aren't the Coast Guard supposed to protect National borders, and Home Security? He did that. It is Clinton who ran away to Russia, and even protested against the Vietnam war that a Liberal, like himself, Lyndon B. Johnson started.
So, is this not more proof that Liberals won't accept the truth, just because they don't like a Conservative/Republican?
Do Liberal think our borders, and surrounding seas don't need to be protected, but left open for the enemy to attack us?

I vote democratic but I dont hate our military. I see the services as very important to our nation and strongly support a vital and strong military and I know plenty of other dems who feel the same way, including some buddies of mine who are in the military and vote democratic. But why do so many brand the Dems as military haters?

First of all I’m an Australian, but I pay a lot of attention to American politics. This is basically because Australian politics is pretty boring, has little or no influence on the world and we generally end up doing what America tells us to do in relation to current world events anyway. While watching the current election process I noticed the great division within the American political system. Initially I thought Australian politics was bad, but like always America seems to take it to that next level. There seems to be such a huge influence on this, “us and them mentality”, fueled by character assassinations, labeling and playing the blame game. The current situation in American society reminds me of this quote said by William Durant a famous American philosopher.
“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars”
Does this quote ring any alarm bells for anyone or is it just business as usual?

Liberals and democrats here in Yahoo Q and A like to call George Bush a "chicken hawk". They claim he avoided Vietnam service by joining the Air National Guard, yet has no problem sending troops to fight and die in Iraq. Okay........

So then what was Clinton? Clinton NEVER EVEN SERVED in the military, but had no problem sending ill-equiped Army Rangers to die in Somalia in 1993-94, sending troops to Rwanda in July 1994, sending troops to Haiti in September 1994, invading Bosnia in December 1995, sending US sailors into harms way to maneuver off the coast of China in 1996 as a threat to Beijing, and firing cruise missiles at suspected chemical weapons sites in Iraq in December 1998! So if George Bush is a "chicken hawk" then what was Bill Clinton?

In 1998 President Bill Clinton, (D) ordered military strikes against Iraq.

Republicans disagreed and said this was a bad use of resources and that President Clinton was wagging the dog.

Were they being unpatriotic or just expressing their point of view?

Now in 2007 many of us are disgusted by the occupation of Iraq.

We express our dissatisfaction. Republicans accusse of of being unpatriotic.

How can you have it both ways? Were these same republicans unpatriotic when they accussed Clinton of wagging the dog?

How can you have it both ways?

Is this just stereotypical conservative hypocrisy?

Every day I read posts from angry liberals DEMANDING that if I support US efforts in Iraq so much, then I need to enlist in the military and fight on the front lines. Okay...........

I see nothing wrong with gay marriage. Does that mean I need to leave my wife and and marry a man?

I support the deportation of illegal aliens from this country. Does that mean I have to join the Border Patrol?

I support the arrests of criminals by the police. Does that mean I need to join the local police department?

I like eating at McDonalds from time to time. Does that mean I have to apply for a job flipping burgers?

My car (which I enjoy driving) runs on gas. Does that mean I have to apply for a job with Exon/Mobil drilling for oil in the North Sea?

I find it ironic that if you support US efforts in Iraq then you need to enlist, but bytching and complaining about the war in Iraq doesn't require you to do a damn thing.
