Interesting. The left, at least on this forum, claims that we should hold our soldiers to a higher moral and legal standard than the Muslims. Does that imply that the left believes that "we" are a "better" civilization than those barbarics? OTOH, the right claims that we should hold everyone to...

Looks like your post ommitted some important little details: "From 2003 to 2005 Reid accepted ring-side tickets for three boxing matches from the Nevada Athletic Commission while they had legislation pending before the senate. Reid subsequently voted against the position advocated by the...

Two Marines were severely traumatized after following orders to photograph corpses of unarmed Iraqi civilians that members of their unit are suspected of killing, their families said Monday...

It's clear as fog. Considering this And none on the military court, including the lawyers, the judges, etc, would likely have seen combat, how can your two statements be consistent with each other?

Interesting logic. By this standard Nuremberg should never "rate it." I'm sure the lawyers on the Allied side never saw combat, while the accused war criminals were constantly "under combat stress."

1. They were not "smart bombs." Not according to today's standards. That was 1986. 2. It was Kadhafi's adopted daughter. She was 15 months old when she was killed by the bombing. 3. Kadhafi did not "learn his lesson" from this bombing. The 1987 Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am 103 was his...

Do you include children of the Nazis in your extermination list?

http://www.slate.com/?id=76886 This one was shameless: "As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself—not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."—After visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke...

From the Whitehouse press release: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040805-3.html "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

I am shocked by the heartless comments in this thread trying to justify possible war crimes. Do people really place their own ideology above everything else, including things like human rights and human lives that "we" Americans have claimed to be universal? We value human lives, except when...

I don't know about on tape, but both were widely quoted at the time. You can easily google for yourself: "dead or alive" http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/17/bush.powell.terrorism/ "bring it on" http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-07-02-bush-iraq-troops_x.htm I have to say that...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=aztsL7tI0eiI&refer=top_world_news Why are we still trying to prop up this government who for all practical purposes is not on our side? Shouldn't we simply leave and let themselves fight it out?

Illegal immigration is more like trespassing. If someone comes to your house uninvited, and does not leave, would you let him stay if he pays a fine?

"If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg." Surrogate mother?

Why focus on amnesty only? 1. The bill increases H1-B visas from 65000 (65,000 good jobs) to 115,000 (115,000 good jobs to foreign nationals). 2. The bill includes an ESCALATOR clause, which automatically INCREASES the H1-B visas by 20 % a year every year that they hit the cap.

Kids, read the question before clicking on the poll, please!

"Apparently when they cut the last tree and poison the last watershed, they'll hand us a cup of gold and we can drink to our health! " said the person who sent this to me. It is usually difficult to tell whether these chain letters are legit or not. This one is legit according to the link...

Where can you read this poem today? (Hint: on a plaque)

I find it ironic that you would focus only on one side (bad) of the possibilities for the press, while focus on the opposite side of the possibilities for the government. What if the press were able to expose Hitler's concentration camps for the Jews? Do you think that would be a good thing...
