1) The US isn't violating the Geneva convention with its detention of enemy combatants. Actually it is, but the US thinks it can get around this by saying that Guatmo is not a POW camp, which it is.

Maybe this was not done in the national interest at all but for the good of the people in Iraq? It'd be nice if that were the case, but I think the people chanting "America Go Away" say this may not be the case. I'm not saying that Iraqis arn't better off with out Saddam, just that they don't feel what

Well muggaz, I apologize for stating the obvious, but even my freshman in Intro to US history, generally use better English Grammer Skills. Besides, if my point was obvious, why did you argue it? Cheers

Not arguing that point, oh and I think we can judge by their treatment of the palestinians how well they treat Arabs. And just because they treat people bad in Syria, doesn't make it right to treat "the other" badly in their country. Cheers

There is an incredible media blitz to mislead about the goals and actions of the PLO and Islam in general. Oh, and to further elucidate my point. I think it's incredibly dangerous to equate the goals of the PLO with the goals of Islam. Any person who's bothered to look at the actual tenents of Islam,

Yes, I understood that, my point was, why does it matter if the Israelis are more tolerant towards Christians if they're still not tolerant of, say Arabs? Cheers

Well, plus Germany and Japan are forced, by the terms of the treaties ending the war, to maintain small militaries. Cheers

Going to have to jump in here, since I'm opposed to the death penalty in every case, it should be no surprise I'm opposed to juveniles being executed. However, I think most of us can recognize the difference between serving time for your crime and being put in a political prison. Cheers

Jeb - I'm not arguing that - you are the one who said the US is second or whatever in the world. I believe there was a question of misunderstanding, I was meaning as in First, Second, or Third World Countries, and not as in First in the World. Cheers

Oh, and after a quick search: 3 juveniles were executed in January of 2000, As of October of that very same year, 74 juveniles were on death row. <a href="http://web.ask.com/redir?bpg=http%3a%2f%2fweb.ask.com%2fweb%3fq%3dHow%2bmany%2bminors%2bhave%2breceived%2bthe%2bdeath%2bpenalty%2bin%2bthe%2bUnited%2bStates%253f%26o%3d0%26page%3d1&q=How+many+minors+have+received+the+death+penalty+in+the+United+States%3f&u=http%3a%2f%2ftm.wc.ask.com%2fr%3ft%

true, true, but how many African, Asian, or middle Eastern nations are First or Second World Nations? Oh, and I believe the US executed one last year, but I don't have the figures in front of me, I'll try and figure it out when I'm finished grading. Cheers

Someone asked me sometime ago how many American were dying in Afghanistan and regrettably I could only report that I couldn't find any info about it. Then, in a stunning flash of coincidence, I found that eight americans had died in Afghanistan Last Week No Cheers

I forget who said it, or what the exact wording was, but someone once said that Democracies were terrible forms of government, they're just better than anything else. Cheers

It’s pretty unfortunate that the Dems would politicize this matter; I guess that is nothing new, they did it in the Vietnam era when many of them tried to pin the blame for the failure squarely on Nixon, conveniently leaving out JFK and LBJ.</

Ummm, I'm confused. I think Brad and I respect each others viewpoints, I'm fairly certain none of my responses have been edited off the forums, and I don't have anything disrespectful to say to either Brad or Wahkonta. Brad and I disagree with each other on this article, or perhaps we do agree, but for different reasons. So, I guess what I'm saying is that 11:46PM PT is too late to be reading your 100th essay on "Why The White Man Came to Am

There are always two sides to a story There's actually, three sides to a story, your side, their side, and the truth, the problem is convincing the two competing sides of what the truth is.

::sighs:: Yes, they have bicameral houses, however, both houses are proportioned by population, unlike the US senate . The Articles of Confederation, and indeed the "constitution" of the confederacy allowed states to print their own money.
