The resources we're providing in the form of logistics extend far beyond any measurable dollar value. True, but apparently it is only the dollar signs that seem to matter. Sadly.
about human. ;~D
Amazing how a disaster in one country can be yet another excuse to criticize other countries. Oh Paxx, that's just a part of it. You should hear the politicing that goes on between disaster relief outfits during high profile jobs like this!!! Everything from vying for relief dollars to jockying for
Brings a whole new meaning to "Live Fast, Die Young, leave a Good Looking Corpse" now doesn't it!!! ;~D
SLC, a little advice thanks to Henry Higgins: The Rain's Insane so Remain on the Plane! ((((btw, how's SLC lately? Using your SN as a model, mine would be "thatoneguyfromKaysville" but that was a long time ago. ;~D ))))
nice to see more ignorance from the US side by the second post. France also sent a carrier to the region, but can we say well done France? No we can't. I say well done France, in the Indian Ocean relief effort and the war on terror also. While the French wouldn't help us in Iraq, there are French troo
I think the Ethiopian "crisis" of the 80's is a classic example of what you are driving at. Everyone who was alive at the time remembers "We Are the World" and "Do They Know It's Christmas" playing over and over on radios in an effort to raise money for the starving people of Ethiopia. People sang, cried, sent in their money, and all was well with the world... right? Except of course, for the fact that it was a political (not a natural) fami
The interesting investigation would be the origin of the documents themselves. Since the claim by LTC Burkett (and then retracted) that he got them from CWO Conn turned out to be blatantly untrue, from where did they come? Another detail that I find completely hard to believe is that Marian Carr Knox (LTC Killian's clerk-typist interviewed by 60 Minutes) would be able to remember whether or not she typed a document from that long ago. While
It's the same old song. It doesn't matter to some people what you are actually doing to help, as long as people think that you're helping. The industrialized world seems to be in a bidding war, loudly trying point out how low the others' bids are. Well, after the bidding is over, and all the money gets thrown at the disaster relief, all that will matter is that the disaster relief occured. The naysayers would do well to quit talking about
No, I'm not comparing them at all, I am merely citing them as examples of other groups who have been barred from access to public programs or activities for contraversial stances on issues. The Boy Scouts have been challenged many times because they do not allow openly gay people, or atheists into their troops, and National Guard (as well as other U.S. Military) recruiters have been barred from recruiting on college campi because of "don't ask, don't
This is a sticky situation, but I have to say that I agree with the court on this one. The KKK may be an organization of losers, but if the highway program is open to other groups that are considered contraversial (such as National Guard Units and the Boy Scouts or Religions), then it's hard to justify singling out the KKK (even though they do an pretty good job of singling themselves out). To me, the best way to handle it would be to let them take
...you got bored reading all the statements, so you just moved on to read the comments about it, then added one of your own. ;~D
The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing only applies to those involved in the trial. For the rest of us, we are free to decide what we want about them and the situation.
With atribution of course! Checking Paypal for the royalty payments! ;~D (but not holding my breath).
So at this point if Iran is successful in exploding a nuclear device and we need to go in there, we have the manpower to do so? What makes you think we're not already fighting Iran (Syria, and other terrorist sponsoring nations also)? There is a lot at stake for terrorist nations (especially the Jihadi
COL Gene, something tells me that, as far as you were concerned, as soon as Prs. Bush put his name to the idea, WE LOST! ;~D
The only way anyone can believe that the U.S. led coalition has failed in Iraq is if you believe that any loss of troops in a battle means the coalition lost the battle. The only way the coalition can truly lose, is if we allow the terrorists and opposition deny the Iraqi people the freedom to choose a new government.
Let me clarify a little bit......they were going to abandon her at the mall, and she chose the terribly rude and inopportune moment to die, when she was in the car. So they just dumped her off, rolling her down over the bank from the parking lot into a drainage ditch full of weeds and trash.They beat her, too, if she messed herse
..and are the troops' wives at home fooling around with Bart Simpson too?? ;~D
boy has this degenerated to petty bickering. sad.
Agreed Para, they are both perpetrators. However one is and will be incarcerated for the rest of her life. The other is experiencing daily liberty and granted interviews for monetary gain. Agreed, which is also pretty vile.
Jimmy Carter is at the moment in Palestine. He is leading a delegation of overseers for the Palestinian elections set for this Sunday. His role was approved by the Palestinian authority.He is one of the few world diplomats that is both trusted and respected by the islamic and Israeli governnents.Where do you get your info Mod????

My suggestion is that we change the word "Gall" to "gaul" in honor of the detestable French (hehehe) The French who wouldn't help the us in Iraq? The French that were so instrumental in undermining the joke of a "Oil for Food Program"? Or the French who are with us in every other part of the War on Te
The overturning of her conviction reopens the possibility that she will be able to receive another sentence that puts her into a mental health facility for the remainder of her life rather than in a prison, which is ill-equipped to deal with someone with the complex mental problems this woman possesses
