2

The End of Al Qaeda? - 4 months ago

→ I have a hard time believing that the death of one player will harm the Taliban. History has shown us that there are always others who step up to fill the places of those who have fallen.

Homebuyer Credit Makes August Hot For Home Sales - 4 months ago

→ Why don't we learn from our mistakes? Just months ago weren't economist saying that not everyone should and can own a house. Wasn't the lesson of Bush's housing policies that renting is a wise choice. And now, Obama is following in Bush's footsteps even after...

Clinton Urges Reforms, Strong Ties With Angola - 4 months ago

5

Drug war to dominate US-Canada-Mexico summit - 4 months ago

→ I never cease to be amazed by the fact that drugs, which are not necessary for survival, are so important and powerful in our world. My question: what is at the root of drug popularity? Is it excitement or an escape?

2

G.I. Jingo! - 4 months ago

→ I guess the Frenchmen had it coming. Why not, Paris is a city of thrills and lovers' dreams.

2

Media blames record cold on nature, warming on man - 4 months ago

→ Global warming is a term that describes a drastic change in the temperatures of the Earth. Increased temperatures cause the ice caps to melt, which in turn floods the ocean with a great deal of cold water. This causes the ocean's currents to change.

3

Read their lips: Mixed signals from Obama team on taxes - 4 months ago

→ My question remains, if higher taxes create a better way of life and truly reduce the cost of maintaining one's health, are higher taxes a bad thing?

5

White House Says No New Taxes for Middle Class - 4 months ago

→ There is no question that everything that Obama hopes to achieve is going to cost way more than is raised by current tax revenue. But, even though the income tax in DC nearly gives me a heart attack every time I get a pay check,...

Kansans reject Guantanamo detainees...loudly - 4 months ago

→ Interesting. I must say though, like Michigan (another possible recipient) Kansas could use the detainees as an economy boost. Jobs would be created and funding would be sent to the state. I can't imagine that Kansas doesn't realize that.

4

Obama Considering U.S. Prison-Court Complex for Guantanamo Detainees - 4 months ago

→ I agree, but we can't just hold these people indefinitely. As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. I will be interested to see when action is actually taken.

4

Three Good Reasons to Liquidate Our Empire - 4 months ago

→ Oh dear, the word is out. Finally, we are starting to analyze why the United States is in such a terrible state at the moment. Maybe there is a chance that we won't go the way of Rome.

2

The next worst thing - 4 months ago

→ I'm glad to hear there is a Plan B; it would be a mistake to only have one idea. Especially when the two plans are so closely related. Here is some more of the article which was posted above: "Plan B is no day at the...

This Can't Be (the) Right - 4 months ago

→ Though I am holding my breath for a female president, Palin is not the one. I would leave the country if she was elected. But, if she was wise she would not run against Obama but wait until 2016. She has the time.

North Korea Warms to U.S. Talks - 4 months ago

→ It's about time. Now, what?

3

New deadlines, new problems for health care bill - 4 months ago

→ Justice delayed is justice denied, Martin Luther King Jr once said. I think this can be applied to policy, policy change delayed is policy stagnation. However, there is a balance. We cant rush things. But, when does discussing the right bill turn into stalling.

3

Raul Castro Tells Cubans To Work Harder - 4 months ago

→ Maybe that's what Americans need. A call to work harder might do the trick, although I can't imagine those who already work over forty-hour weeks doing much more.

2

Tax System Needs Overhaul of Its Own - 4 months ago

→ I think everyone knows the tax systems needs to be restructured. But can't we stop saying it needs to be and actually do it? Let's see some action. Any motion is better than this state of all talk and no progress.

3

GOP headache: The birther issue - 4 months ago

→ Scary that such a radical group has enough power that the GOP has to address it. It reminds me of the other radical groups that have caused trouble -- Nazis and the Taliban-- I don't imagine the movement will last much longer or ever be...
