We should cut and run. Cut off funding for the police until the criminals stop committing crimes, that will show them. If Ted Kennedy retires and Hillary keeps Bill out of Washington that would lower the crime rate in D.C.

Putting Soldiers into American cities is the worst thing I that could possibly be done. Death tolls would go up and probably cause some sort of Civil War, if not a war between the Military and the civilians. No, don't ask for soldiers to be brought in to control the population. That is the complete opposite of a democracy, if not the start of communism. Al you need to do to solve your problem is put more money into the police departments and hire more employees.
And no, we should not ban guns. Murder and armed robbery can be performed with many objects. Why not ban baseball bats and crow bars and anything that could possibly bash someones head in. And all of this was just a percentage. How does banning guns stop rape.
Although I am independant, I tend to vote along the Republican lines most of the time, I disagree that the republicans solution to everything is to use nukes. (As Paul seems to think) When was the last time that the U.S. military used nukes? Come on now start using your head. It seems to me that it is in the best interest of both of the main parties to rid the world of nukes and that is why we try so hard to get other countries to stop their nuculear programs.

Since the statistics say our soldiers in Iraq are safer than citizens in Washington D.C. , lets send all the citizens of D.C. to Iraq.
