[quote]Lateran treaty... look it up. Political treaty not any war for making that state...[/quote] I am familiar with the granting of the land to the Holy See by the Kingdom of Italy. What was there before that grant? and how was the Kindom of Italy created? First a Lomabard state, then the Holy Roman Empire, then the Naploeonic state, then the Garibaldi state and then the Fascist stae of Mussolini until 1944. One violent take over after another. I maintain my point

[quote]True, but in the cases where it has been somewhat successful it has always been because it was taken by a neigbouring country.[/quote] Your 'neighboring country" idea does not explain all of North America, Central America, South America, Austrailia, UK, New Zealand, much of the Asian regions. etc. ergo much of the world as we know it was created by countries from other continents taking away lands from others. Regardless, I do not want to quibble, and it seems to me

[quote]What now is called isreal was the Osmanian empire then GreatBritain took it over.... Under GB rule the first promises where made for a zionist state.[/quote] I dare say that there does not exist a country in the world that was not created by someone taking something from someone. If so, I would be pleased to be educated. The issue is the way forward and there will be no peace unless both sides decide that living together is better than constant war and one

[quote]The question is, if that is genuinely the case, why were they allowed to be that big in the first place, and why aren't we rethinking that policy?[/quote]AExcellent article Craig. And Microsoft?

[quote]I agree with you 100%, though I hold the administration and the GOP controlled congress PRIMARILY responsible for the state we are in today rather than just the Democrats. [/quote] I said the dems would push through the auto industry bail out and that BOTH parties were responsible for the inability to fund social security and yet pass the bailout and begin the spending of trillions after a one week debate. I did not say just the democrats.

[quote]So, it's my belief that after seeing how Americans were just forced (against their stated will) to buy out almost the entire financial sector, the taxpayers aren't going to accept "we can't afford basic universal healthcare for all". And that means a little Socialism is very likely coming to America. As far as I am concerned, it's long overdue[/quote] Unfortunately, buying out almost the entire financial sector appears now to be only the beginning. The bailout of the auto ind

During any war in the US history the debt as gone up considerably as the attached charts from the same source shows. Just look at the figures during the WW2 years.

[quote]You're quoting the Drudge Report. Really?! Is that what amounts to journalism to you? I haven't quoted huffpo or anyone other than MSM, including Fox, with citations.[/quote] That particular report was quoting the NY Times and others if you read it and I would imagine that you find them somewhat more to your liking. Do you deny that it happened? If so then rant to the NY Times and AP for false reporting.

[quote]Ken, whatever you do, don't click this link. [/quote] Ok, what does it say? Of course I clicked it immediately and thanks Craig for adding more insanity to my day. I think everyone is running around in some kind of post election euphoria in Washington as the store gets cleaned out completely.
