I know they had a war like the USA Vs. Iraq and Saddam, but I didn't know Saddam was so efficient at killing Iranians.

I'd guess your painfully wrong, but your not humiliated. Ignorance is bliss.

If u would have heard about the last earthquake in Iran u would know that there where about 40000 victims - everyone reads what he wants...

Huh?

You would have been in favor of GWB 'doing something' pre-9/11?

Wasnt the rally cry against Iraq a version of "Why are we attacking, they didnt do anything to us?"

How can you turn around and ask why Bush didnt do something about Al Qaeda before 9/11?

Sorry, I guess I would simply be better able to discuss these things if the 'anti' crowd didnt change their arguments every 6 months.

Then start another thread about how unimportant the US is in the grand scheme of things. It sounds more like youre trying to convince yourself of this than anything else.

Where did i say that an invasion of Iraq would be ANTI terrorism? Also if u would know me u'd knew that I was pro an invasion of Iraq but thats an old one...

Where did i say that the US is unimportant? I said the US is not so important that if all US citizens would die and the USA would vanish the world still turns.

I think u have a big problem to understand postings. Maybe that's the cause for ur little baiting here.

What's the big deal? I'm sure Hillary or Dean will get rid of it within the first hundred days of their election.

I thought this story was a riot!!!! Don't know how true it is and I don't really care, but it's hilarious.

Begs an interesting conspiracy theory though...is GWB's new immigration policy really a way to increase the pool of people who would be eligible to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces?

Good Read, But was it supposed to be a jab at me and the origin of the USA-Patriot Act?

Not at all. Just pointing out things are never as cut and dry as we would like them to be.

Popcorn, butter, and sugar, rolled into one hated Halloween ball, made by old ladies, who were just enough not crazy to give out apples, and divvied out to unsuspecting trick or treaters on October 31st, (A American Holiday) looking for bite size candy bars.

They were till now, just thrown into bushes enroute to the next Snicker candy bar giving household. Now they should be a ATF FBI regulated missile. Lord knows that was my 10 year old, on every occasion of receiving one, initial response. Still, certainly they are deadly.
