If not for the projected $2 trillion dollar blunder in Iraq, would Iran have as much influence as they do now?

In the 70s a few scientists warned that if we didn't start getting our sulfur dioxide emissions under control, we might trigger an ice age. As a result, we did just that (SO2 emissions have decreased since 1980 - see pages 12-14 in the link below), avoiding the potentially catastrophic scenario.

In the 80s we were warned that our CFC emissions were causing a hole in the ozone layer. As a result we phased them out in the mid-90s.
In 1999 we were warned that the Y2K bug would cause computers to crash. As a result we fixed the software.
Last year researchers in San Diego warned that "fire crews, land managers, ecologists and others need a better understanding of how global warming is making wildfires more frequent, bigger and more destructive"

Isn't it time to start listening to scientists' warnings about global warming?

It seems to me that Dems are trying to create a country of "victims" who always need someone else to pay more in taxes.
The best way for Americans to get ahead is to do well in school, go to college, and work hard. It works for LOTS of Americans.
My goal for my kids isn't that they convince the rich to pay more in taxes. My hope is that my kids work hard and earn their own way in life.

As being in favor of Ethnic Cleansing as they support the President in his efforts to appease the Turkish aggressors?
Or is their a deeper purpose, like a warning to the Turks that they face International Sanctions and NATO Military resistance if they carry out their plans to invade Iraq and renew their campaign of genocide against the Kurds?

Boxer's and Pelosi's home state, which always votes for Dems to be president, have done a great job of destroying the environment.
Mother nature isn't allowed to have natural forest fires every decade or so. Rich libs have $1 million to $5 million homes but Mother Nature suffers.
Odd?

Sandy Berger was given only minor punishment and not banned from the National Archives for STEALING original classified documents by stuffing them in his pants. This man is now working for Hillary Clinton. Does anyone see this as a little bit ridiculous? DO YOU REALLY TRUST THIS GUY WITH OUR SECURITY? A THIEF? Read up, Clinton lovers.

Calderón of Mexico is delivering a grim message: The largest oil producer in Latin America is running out of crude."Our oil reserves have been consistently falling," and the decline is "severely threatening" government finances, Calderón told a nationwide television audience in an address last monthuela. Calderón said in his Sept. 2 address that the country held proven reserves that could last nine years.
Looks like those Peak Oil theories are correct. Does this explain a lot to you?

Just when the USA had me fooled into thinking that the Kurds were to be pitied in Iraq as so many horrible things had happened did I find out that they are bloodthirsty terrorists on the Turkish border looking to eliminate Turkish soldiers.
As an American: Bravo Turkey in defending your land! The USA has no right to tell you to use contraint! After all the ENTIRE WORLD told us not to invade Iraq. Did we listen?

... causes people in Africa to starve to death since they can't afford to pay twice as much for corn and other food?
(Farmers are cutting down forests to grow more crops to make ethanol. Cutting down trees is BAD for global warming.)

Only in their imaginary world would there be
no North Koreans arming Saddam with outlawed missiles,
no weapons experts snuck in past inspectors' eyes,
no Iraqi experts ordered not to leave,
no millions siphoned from Oil for Food,
no UN officials bribed,
no "friends" kicking back,
no financing terrorist attacks on Israel,
no race with Iran to nuclear-arm,
no Libya nuclear-arming already,
no A.Q. Kahn exposed since there'd be no one to expose him,
no No-Fly zones since there'd be no sanctions,
no attacks on Kurds north and Shias south when Saddam was again free,
no mass graves, rapist rooms, wires electrocuting testicles,
no millions of barrels of oil gushing out, billions of bucks gushing back in,
no haven offered to Al Qaeda when Afghanistan was attacked but Iraq was not.

Yes, that's right the US tax payer has paid for the Israeli Military (Israel gets far more US aid than any other country - about 80 percent of it in fact and 90 percent of that is tanks, f16s, bulldozers etc.).
How does it feel?
In fact, considering that the US have no real military rivals how do you feel about all of your tax dollars being pumped into your own army? Couldn't it be spent more usefully? They don't even give you free health care...

The poor family that earns about $20,000 or so a year won't get a single dime.
The "rich" family that earns about $200,000 per year will save a boatload of money.
Are Pelosi and Hillary now taking care of people that own Toll Brothers houses? They suddenly want votes from Republicans. At the same time poor Democrats won't get anything out of this "cut."

Who makes his decisions based on logic not on what he thinks God told him to do?
You don't have to be an atheist to elect an atheist. I'm atheist, but i don't mind voting for liberal Jesus following christians.
For those on the right, would you not vote for an atheist liberterian?

**The Grand Illusion***
Welcome to the Grand Illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.
But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fan-tasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that... it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...
America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
