No WMDs found yet, but then again Iraq had 6+ months to hide/export stuff while the UN sat around like construction workers staring at a hole in the ground...

but we managed to take out more civilian lives than the total 9/11 disaster took out of our own people.

flat out incorrect. would you care to show me any credible source that says this?

on to domestic problems. the republican party put this little balance budjet amendment in the constitution i believe and well... bush's HUGE spending is bringing our economic stability waaay down, not to mention the worlds if this continues. durring "war times" we need to raise taxes to pay for a war. not cut even more to make our rich business owners richer.

true, but business is a cycle. late 90s was an up cycle, followed by the down part of the cycle. tax cuts alleviate pressure on small business owners (my parents own a business). trust me, it will help.

as far as gay/same sex marragies... hoestly we have bigger problems. let it be a state thing, since its the state who gives you a marrage licence. get the government out of it.

I do agree there are bigger issues, but we can't let the moral fabric of our country deteriorate because we are too lazy/occupied to deal with additional problems (this).

the anti-french people really piss me off.

I don't hate the french, just the french gov't policies. Same goes for most mid-easterners with anti-american sentiment. They don't hate Americans, just what America stands for, because they view capitalism/free market as a threat to their religion which placed allah above all.

interesting little fact about ww1, french toast usta be german toast, Dachshunds were called freedom dogs, sounds a bit familiar...

Yeah, its all propoganda/rhetoric... thats a two sided coin

everyone who has taken american history knows the french won our independence from england with their HUGE blockadge of the chesapeake bay and most of the east coast from all incoming englsih ships. which was part of a treaty we later screwed the french on when england attacked them.

Thank you French from 230 years ago . Seriously, don't you hate being blamed for slavery because your ancestors practiced it? Same theme here, the past was then, this is now... things change...
