most the leaders of the left agreed that saddam HAD THEM, but that kinda falls in between the cracks. Most. Not all. Just the sorry ass excuse for a left in America. I didn't know, and wanted to let Hans Blix finish up his work.

There is another objective which you didn't list, which I personally believe was the real reason. Destroy the largest military force in the Middle East belonging to a country known to support terrorist groups in order to send a warning to other countries openly supporting terrorist groups. Didn't they a

and just how do we see inside of gitmo without comprimising security? Give the terrorist a world stage and they will play victim to the hilt. They can already. What is needed is for their allegations to be disproved, as they can get people to believe their allegations right now as there is no proof to

I agree that actual torture does not work, but since we do not accually torture people it's a moot point. That's what I'm saying. If we can see inside Gitmo, there's no real reason to close it (assuming I see what I hope I see). Even then, the problems can probably be fixed without closing it down.

are we still debating 20/20 hindsight stuff about wmd's? the whole world thought he had them. The world is more than the sorry excuse for a left you have in the US. Hans Blix didn't think he had them. A lot of people outside the US didn't think he had them <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" ali

I don't forget 9/11 2001. I also remember 9/11 1973 Link Although, I don't think closing Gitmo would be necessary if we got to see what was going on in there. Yes, the Christina Aguilera music is torture and I pity any poor sould that has to endure that. However if we got to see inside and see of sure whether anyone was being tortured or not, we won't have to make any rash decis

Reply to Hey kids, guns are bad, mmmmm-kay? Even for Science Projects in Politics JoeUser Forums

I guess they proved how dangerous BB guns were after all... Seriously, though, if I had to make the decision, I would allow the kids to bring in the ballistics gel, bring in whatever pictures, reports, etc. they needed, just leave the gun itself at home (maybe bring in a picture of the gun). Although I would warn next year's class not to do science projects involving such dangerous materials (and cite the BB gun incident), as they can hurt themselves working on it.

I see your point, but wish you had used some less inflamatory examples. After all, Jesus did not call for us to die for him, it was the other way around. Well, these were the first two that came to mind. I was considering not posting out of Political Correctness, and I guess I felt sort of like the Rabbi that ericseba mentioned (not wanting to

How not to win the war in Iraq in Politics JoeUser Forums

There has been a recent hubbub of activity around the forums about the war in Iraq. There has also been a few suggestions on how to win it, including using torture and targeting civilians. This is simply not the way to go about it, and here's why: First, what are the objectives? There is more to this war than a body count. These are the possible objective

even then, if Jesus existed, he was not necesssarily a savior and god doesn't necessarily exist. He could have been the first David Koresh or Jim Jones.

Reply to Open discussion, GITMO in Politics JoeUser Forums

Alcatraz? BAD idea! Located next to a large city, the potential for terrorist activities by sympathetic Muslims is FAR too great. If you're going to go with a location that is unarguably American, the Aleutians would be a better choice. Yeah, probably. I was just thinking Alcatraz because they have a p

My vote is an undisclosed location on Baffin Island or on Antarctica...secure, remote, and hell for anyone used to 120 degree heat. I don't know if these would work. You waould have to get cooperation from the CAnadian government to open a prison on their territory. And Antarctica is also internationa

After following the Jacko trial night and day, listening to every update, every new bend in the road, I say that there is hope for our country, yet.

Yeah, I doubt I will get the chance to travel to Europe or overseas in the near future. I have only travelled within Canada and twice to the US (the farthest South I have been is Minneapolis), and most of that has been for school trips. Although I have one travel goal that I would like to accomplish: To go to Cuba before Castro dies! Hooray for cheap Cuban cigars!

Reply to Did I CHOOSE to be Libertarian? in Politics JoeUser Forums

In my view, and I think History backs it up, the only way to impose socialism is through a restriction of Liberty. Even in nations with watered-down versions, you still hear that there is a "price to pay". Just because you accept an infringment on liberty doesn't mean it isn't an infringment, as the anti-Patriot Act folks

Reply to Oprah Makes Out of Touch Comment in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

The problem is that Oprah is so far removed from the average Joes, but uses her "victim of the week" cases to try to make it look like she cares, by picking out one of the millions of people who are disadvantaged in some way and sending them to Disneyland. She cares all right, about her ratings. And when she shows recipes, what are the odds that she actually cooks them herself? Not good.
