There is no enterprise so stupid that a politician won't try it if there is potential profits.
There is no politician so evil that they can't get the support of the substandard mental strata.
Our elected employees are not only ignorant but stupid in many cases, and rely on other uninformed people for their information.
Once a family member is killed in a politician's profiteering schemes, it is hard to admit that it was for nothing.

That history is right and it takes the people of a community to make the change .
That it takes years of building the ideas in the minds of people to build a democracy .
How long did it take to get people to look at smoking differently .
Years and years and years went by and still A boat load of people still continued to smoke . It took over 20 years and some laws to get people to accept that a behavior was bad .
How long do you think it will take to change the mind of the religious people who do not feel as though women deserve any rights and are the property of men .
Think for a minute how long it took before women got to vote in the United States .
All I am saying is the world operates a lot slower in reality then it does on a sitcom .

i like the Arab suggestions We(Iraq) prefer this (Shatt Al Arab , greater oil expenses ,Kuwait or regardless of) .They subsequently enter into negotiations wherein they simply state -- we are greater effective and greater advantageous so supply us what we call for -- or we are able to invade you. So Iraq invades Kuwait, kidnaps, tortures and rapes Kuwaiti electorate, in many circumstances loots the placement, seizes its oil fields and then threatens Saudi Arabia -- and you ask what has that to do with the West or everybody else ? Do you ever ask your self why Arabs/Islam get this type of undesirable press around the worldwide

#1 read a book -- Sun Zu is a good one to start with (especially the part about "every battle is won before it is fought"...yeah that one is particulary important).
#2 study a map - know the world....it helps.
#3 understand that nobody likes foreigners telling them what to do and they especially don't like it when your soldiers beat down their doors in the middle of the night...we didn't like when the British did it to New Englanders...and we Southerners didn't like when Yankees did it 1861-1865.
#4 some people can't be helped...
#5 same as #4 -- sometimes people deserve the government they have
#6 no amount of money will ever solve a problem.
#7 American Lives are too valuable to waste on idiotic folks in the Middle East.

No new knowledge:
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

That people are quick to forget what happened to us, and quicker to look for someone to blame other than the terrorists...that there is very little personal responsibility in the world anymore, and that it is easier to demonize a president than go after the bad guys...that we don't support the troops, or say we do, but aren't willing to put our wallet where our mouth is...

My recent lesson is to choose wisely at the polls - after actively educating myself and supporting who gets on the ballot.
But in the long run I've learned to always keep my eyes open -and always keep my focus on bringing about unity and PEACE for all.

War is a business (actually I knew that before).
A president and a country are not the same thing.
Excuses don't work all the time.

That a certain percentage of the population will never support our troops as long as we have a Republican President.
