Israel: Accomplishing What Al Qa'eda Could Not
By yet another massive disproportionate military assault by the world's 4th largest military against a people with no regular military, Israel is accomplishing a fete what many of America's enemies could not. See, because America under Bush's leadership has tied itself unquestionably and unwavering to Israel's every action, America is ...

Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan
Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

Re: Bill Richardson: Obama's Vice President
Bill Richardson ran for President on a shoestring and lost most impressively, with hardly any votes despite his ballyhooed resume and months long campaigning, here in New Hampshire. He reminds me of John Connolly more than anyone else, other than maybe Ross Perot. Then, he hesitates at Bill Clinton's blandishments before endorsing Obama, waiting ...

It will require far more guts than common sense might admit, but in the face of such draconian tactics, there appears no other ...

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

Re: I think there's a 12 step program that can help
Dear Nick_Danger: I do not deny that there are compulsive gamblers/gamers around. Any more than I can deny that there are problem drinkers. I myself do not drink, (well, OK....a magnum of red wine will last me 2 years or so.) But I am overly fond of potato chips, so I know (a bit) of the struggles that problem driners, (and compulsive gamblers ...
