we are falling like the rome empire, we no longer stand togather, we are becoming lazy and soft, not to mention we as a nation are being changed by foreigners who are coming here and changing things.

Perhaps the best thing for us would have been to have a President that didn't start a war with a country that had "nothing" to do with 9-11. Bush is a divider , not a uniter. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in a position of "needing" to win this war.

Wow... where to I even begin?
First, we're divided on this issue because we're divided on every issue. The technical term for that is "democracy." The "nation divided" argument is a concoction of the liberal media... the reality is that every war this country has been a part of has been debated from both sides. I'm pretty sure there were a good number of folks that thought succession from England was a bad idea.
Second, Americans work, on average, more hours per week per person than any other industialized country, with possible exception of Japan. If that's not good enough for you, look at the suicide rate in Japan some time. Then ask France about their mandatory 35-hour max. work week, and how it's working wonders for their economy. I think I've said enough about this.
I do agree we're becoming soft, though. If Al-Qaida pulled the kind of crap on China or North Korea that they pulled on us on 9/11, the entire middle eastern region would be a radioactive parking lot right now.
If by "soft" you mean Americans are fat, I agree with that too. We need to stop putting our entire lives into our careers and eating fast food on-the-fly, and start taking health, family, and other important areas more seriously. It's an impending crisis. I'm not sure that's what you were getting at though.
I don't get the Roman Empire thing. I gotta reach way back to my college history classes, but I can't think of a time when the Roman Empire truly "stood together." Most of the time parts of the empire were at war with each other, I think.

I think you're right, So why doesn't George Bush listen to the 70% of the people who want us out?
or do we act like a schoolyard gang and follow the leader who starts the trouble?

I don't think we should be an "empire" in the first place.
What right do we have to run the whole world?

Did you seriously think everyone in our country agreed on all the previous wars we won?

that is the liberal plan, they hate America and are the enemy from within, they are the greatest threat this nation has ever seen.
