I agree. It's a difficult predicament. Honestly, I don't feel the dems are strong or unified in their position; which is their underlying political problem. I also don't believe the party is advocating "cut and run". This is a moniker the republican polarization team placed on them. I think they...

Hi pabst, In my last post I kind of described what I feel about the poisonous political diversity in our society today. In my opinion, that was started by the Karl Rove/Ken Melman crowd. I, believe it or not, am conservative in many respects, and liberal in some ways as well. I'd list...

I appreciate civil debate. Lets talk about the issues with decency and respect for others' opinons and perspectives. Unfortunately, today, in society, throwing stones is whats prevelant. No time to hate is a philosophy I personally live by. I have strong beliefs too; of which I'm passionate...

I'm always amused (read: saddened) by the intelligent discourse (read: lack of) of the politically passionate on this board.

Seems to be the neocons common, underlying idiocy. Except for the corporate, world domination part... -kt

Since this goes hand in hand with the report Intelligence Analysts Say War Spread Terrorism I am bumping this thread to remind us all how much of a mistake this war is. -kt

No comments yet from the "democracy at the point of a gun" supporters yet? Since "talking points" are what the republican political spinners proffer to spew, I provided a talking point memo for the brain-washed to be able to follow more easily.

Iraq war fuels threat, report says Intelligence paper shows far less rosy post-9/11 picture than White House claims MARK MAZZETTI; The New York Times Published: September 24th, 2006 01:00 AM WASHINGTON – A stark assessment of terrorism trends by U.S. intelligence agencies has found...

Oh well...:( So much for the hope of a continued intelligent debate. I should know by now that members of this forum do not permit such civility.

Yes I agree. Sadam had no choice but to claim (indicate) strength of weaponry. He had to pose a facade of ability to fend off his neighbors (Iran). We went in hook, line, and sinker. But, I believe, that was also because it is what the neocons desired regardless of supposed threats. And what...

I do agree with you, but unfortunately, it sometimes requires a good law-suit or two to get the government to make a policy shift for the better. Besides if the company(ies) liable then the company is liable (I, myself, don't know what the arguments are here so I won't claim to know). As far...

I gotta tell ya Nick, This whole mess really worries me. It was totally avoidable, in my opinion. I think we really smacked the hornets nest and it could very well get much worse in time. I really think some smart policy and diplomacy is crucial from here on out.

Yeah I understand your perspective nick, but you gotta see the whole picture. England has always been our ally, so I included the reference cause they did some pretty heavy back stabbin' back then. As for Afganistan, we did help them, but fell short especially in the reconstruction. Hence...

I could start with the English pre and post WWII and how they totally fucked the Arabs. Or I could reference our involvement with over-throwing Iran's democracy back in the 50's and implementing a dictative ruler (the Shaw). Hence, the Iran revolution back in the 70's and the hostage crisis...

If one were to take a good objective look in a history book, it would be seen that the good ol' USA has been the primary instigator.

Last Two Months in Iraq as Deadliest Ever Pretty damn sad. -kt

Here's a good context for the argument of governmental regulation. Self-regulation, as the current administration and Republican party love to proffer, is wonderful in an morally honest society. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to exist these days, especially in corporate America. Yes, this is...

Think data. Think virtual physics. -kt

Global Warming caused by CO2 emissions is credible as a possible threat that maybe irreversible. Don't you think that it would be wise to err on the side of caution in such a case. Let's smarten up people! There's absolutely no reason for still being reliant on fossil fuels. Man...
