State Department and White House sources tell TIME the U.S. has lodged complaints that Paris is turning a blind eye to fund raising in France by front organizations for Hamas, the terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for most of the recent wave of suicide attacks. The U.S. also claims...

Regarding the great steak taste analogy. A number of years ago the meat industry wanted to set standards for various cuts of meat for tenderness, taste, etc. so they went to the scientific community to design mechanical ways to measure these things. They wanted the results to be consistent...

msfe-Peace to you is doing nothing about terrorism and playing ostrich with reality.

Interesting how you choose and omit. The US and Saddam go back to the late 50's not 82 which conveniently for you is Reagans time. Your balance is still skewed. In an earlier post about where you are from. Is that the country where they have seminars for public defenders about how to get serious...

Canada is a great study in the three or now five party system. It is however influenced by the French seperatist problem which dominates much of its politics. There is a very deep split between east and west and a lot of hard feelings in the west. Several years ago it used to be a two party...

welo-I agree with everything you said except the need for a third party. I too once held this view until I lived in a basically two party country that had a minority third party. The problem occurs when the third party allies with one of the two major parties but can dictate to that party nearly...

That is what elections are for. The people watch the watchdogs.

After having lived in a couple of those other countries and experiencing, first hand, what it is like to live under the different senarios I can state that the US is decidedly the best. Primarily for one reason "checks and balances in the US system". Having the Senate elected as here versus...

There is one hard fact for sure. LIBERALS ARE LIARS. I have witnessed this for years and now it is screaming across the internet, the radio waves, tv, and now the print media. Witness the NYT, the Guardian and others. It didn't start with the Clintons but they were (are) the king and queen of...

KymarFye- Great post! You couldn't be more right on. Well said.

As usual you are selectively forgetting that the DOD has failed the past 7 years audits. Of course according to your lopsided reasoning the whole 7 years was Bush's fault, can't you do math. Enron cooked the books during the previous administration and it was revealed recently but guess where...

1. Salman Pak- Probably the link between 9/11 and Iraq. The gov't has never exploited this possibility much yet. 2. We have known all along that Iraq didn't have the means to deliver large amounts of WMD directly on our shore. So the Salman Pak connection grows more important as a means of...

One thing I don't understand is why if Saddam is so smart and didn't have WMD why didn't he simply say for the inspectors to look whereever they wanted to and give them full and complete access. Instead he wouldn't let the inspectors return until the buildup of allied forces was started and then...

I know from personal experience that no group of people eat more red meat than the people involved in the production of it. So if they don't see some glaring problem and feel safe eating it then at least by their vote it is safe. As a former food inspector in the military I can tell you stories...

Check out, homocysteine, the real cause for artery clogging. Guess what helps keep down homocysteine, red meat. The British Medical Jourmal recently said "chlolesterol screening is not worthwhile". The AHA is now admitting low cholesterol can trigger the deadliest kind of strokes. A friend who...

No one quite matches Optional for true closed mindedness. Of course he recognizes it only in others with whom he disagrees.

Optional- I speak from personal experience over many years and incidents. I have also lived in countries with and without gun control. Your position is all theory and worthless in the real world. There are lots of places in the world where police or whatever are virtually unavailable and in...

If you can defend yourself only by stopping the attacker with minimal harm, then you have lost some of the fear deterent that you are hoping for in having available a lethal defense. With the number of guns there are out there, if the desire to kill the attacker was the primary motive then...

I know some oil business people who turned down cabinet positions, in past administrations, because they would have to forfeit control of their personal holdings. Even Mrs. Clintons' trading was prior to 1992, I believe. Just making wild accusations without checking the facts really only...
