what do you think is a major issue in the U.S?not iraq?

Question

Besides the war in iraq.

Answer 1

Choosing the right people to lead our country.

Answer 2

The answer is simple! We are all suffering from the "Blessing and the Curse of Free Will". Now more than ever, mankind has the highest levels of stress that have to be dealt with everyday. This means when we are over pressured or overwhelmed by everyday events, we tend to make pressured decisions. Bad choices lead to bad results. If we cannot even run or keep our homes in check, we call the "Supernanny"? Our families are falling apart and thus the nation follows. Today, it is Congress vs the White House instead of both of them working together.

Answer 3

The lack of punishment for child molestors. The only way they get a fitting punishment is if they murder the child as well. I just read the story of the 6 year old they found in georgia, and I literally threw up! And wouldn't you know it, one of the guys that did it was a convicted child molestor. It makes me hate America! Criminals get more time when they rob a bank, or work for Enron. Maybe if children were made of money, this country would try harder to protect them.

Answer 4

...The fact that we don't have harsher penalties for murder and rape criminals. Giving them 3 square meals a day, a roof over their heads, a gym, a tv and people to talk to doesn't deter others from doing the same thing. In fact, it might entice a homeless person to commit a crime just so they can have a place to live and eat.

The US spends too much money on other countries. We have a huge deficit and homeless people in the US, why are we spending money on other countires?

Answer 5

Iran is in a heap of trouble.....

Iran is dealing with two issues. First, Iran has captured 15 British sailors. Second, Iran has refused to cooperate with the U.N. regarding cessation of uranium enrichment.

Military confrontation may be on the horizon.

Stennis, the American aircraft carrier strike group USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force are all in close appoximation in the Persian Gulf.

Iran has elicited "confessions" from the 15 British sailors they captured and may put them on trial for espionage. The penalty for espionage in Iran is death.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1563877.ece
“If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.” Espionage carries a death sentence.

Iran's detention of 15 Royal Navy personnel is "unjustified and wrong", Prime Minister Tony Blair has said. UK officials are waiting to be granted access to the HMS Cornwall staff, who were seized on Friday, and have not been told where the group are held.

"It simply is not true that they went into Iranian territorial waters and I hope the Iranian government understands how fundamental an issue this is for us," Mr Blair said.

"We have certainly sent the message back to them very clearly indeed. They should not be under any doubt at all about how seriously we regard this act, which is unjustified and wrong."

On March 23, 2007, U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.

The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.

Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Regarding enrichment of uranium, Iranian President Mahmaoud Ahmadinejad abruptly cancelled his appearance before the U.N. security council and in his stead, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Iran spoke. He indicated that Iran was willing to continue negotiations but without the precondition that uranium enrichment must be halted.

Mottaki said, "the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation. Choosing the path of confrontation ... will have its own consequences. "

The U.N. security council unanimously voted to expand sanctions on March 24, 2007.

The new resolution 1747 calls on Iran to comply fully with all previous UN resolutions and join negotiations to reach agreement so as to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program. Full transparency and cooperation with the IAEA are required. Suspension of Iran’s banned nuclear activities will elicit the parallel suspension of sanctions. The package of incentives offered Tehran last year for its cooperation remains on the table.
