IF you don't believe that we shouldn't have been there or not fact is we ARE there and things got destroyed in the process. In any form of law if this happens the one that did the act has to make it right. The only way we can do that is by staying the course.

Iran- So you would rather go to war with Iran than use diplomatic solutions after the international disaster that is Iraq. Without even considering how bad that would look after Iraq, I don't even think our military can take much more(plus, we would most likely still be in Iraq).

I've posted many threads regarding the mindset of this country. I'm not for a full blown invasion but we do have the capability of taking out their nuclear facitlities and whiping out enough of their military components to make this threat a small one. From there, it would be up to the people of that country whether or not they want to support the nutjob that got them into this situation. Remember, their parliment was stating that this leader was putting their country into harms way.....

I'm not one for gun control either, but what would be wrong with having to be trained before you purchase one, not to control who gets guns and who doesn't but so somebody doesn't accidentally shoot his damn wife when he brings it home and tries to figure out the safety. I say at least have an on paper exam(even on site). For safety's sake.

They already started to work on this freedom with the ban on assault weapons. I'd be VERY leary of letting them get their hands to deep into this constitutional right.

Psycho, what do you think about the national inititiative? Just curious.
We have hundreds of lawyers making up laws that does NOT pertain to the budget of keeping the fed going. When the constitution was written it was in everyones best interests to have a representative in congress in order to speak for ya. With the computor age we are all just a web site away.

The only problem that I could see is that of national security where we aren't and shouldn't be privy to all the facts. These people have stacks upon stacks of documents regarding intellegence gathered and to have all this released to the public would put some people into harms way.

I'd go for a sensible split between the two systems I suppose you could say.

Have a good one!:s4:
