    The thing, is the kind of crazed feverish 'Rapture' fundamentalist mentality of the Reva's of this world, is more indicative generally of US public attitudes towards Israel than many think. The ignorance displayed by such people is truelly astounding, not to say, scary.

    Is it any wonder that we have a Capitalist regime where it only takes money to make money, but no amount of faith or a moral bearing true witness (to even our own supreme law of the land) can ensure our elected representatives do not enact public policies which only deny and disparage Individual Liberty by sacrificing the end of our War on Poverty to the means of amorality and a lack of respect for a moral of "goodwill toward men".

    Which candidate is going to ensure the wealthy pay wartime tax rates, even for a War on Drugs?

    Nobody invades a place unless they intend to occupy it, nowadays. Look what that got us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    No sir, the best way to hurt them is to just hurt them and leave them to rot on their own. Bomb all their infrastructure so they no longer have water, power, food deliveries or ways to cultivate crops. This way, they will have to spend all their oil money on new power plants, transmission lines, bridges, roads, dams, hospitals, factories, tractors, harvesters, market places and all the lost civillian housing, not to mention care for all the civillians with their ghastly wounds and all the burned orphans.

    Nope, no need to invade or fight at all.

    world war 1..woodrow wilson..democrat

    world war 2..roosevelt..democrat

    korean war truman..democrat

    VIETNAM kennedy and johnson..democrat

    kuwait invaded by iraq..operation desert storm ..bush republican

    911 attack...operation freedom..bush republican

    four wars started by democrats and just two by republicans..so if obama wins more tham likely a war will be on the way

    What about the context? I don't believe we would have engaged Iraq or Afghanistan if Gore had been elected president. We may even still be running massive federal surpluses instead of the cognitive dissonance of lowering taxes while prosecuting our wars on abstractions such as Terror.

    I really hope this isn't true. If it is, it is a tremendous loss for this forum.

    How long is it going to take this person to answer this very serious question regarding his claim of a forum member's death?

    I thought this might be interesting for those with a parochial outlook!

    At least some Americans are willing to stand up against the AIPAC corruption over many many years of the American political system and the AIPAC owned Judas representatives in the Senate and Congress!

    I believe we would have much more cost effective public policy decisions of the wealthiest had to pay wartime tax rates, even for a War on Drugs.

    If Romney wins the odds are high, if Obama wins I doubt it. America is sick and tired of the wars and we simply cannot afford another one at this time.

    So Gore would not have gone after Afghanistan after the "abstraction' of 9/11?

    I doubt that we would have invaded Iraq or Afghanistan or merely increased our hidden "tax" burden through that military conflict which historically has only lead to higher fuel prices and that primarily only benefits the wealthiest who can afford to make more money with their already existing wealth.

    And, we may even have still had massive federal budget surpluses after his administration.

    but what is clear is: Saudi arabia is an ally for US , Al Qaida is created, trained, supported by CIA and they are originally from Saudi arabia, and now a clone of them ISIL is playing their rule in syria and Iraq in order to destroy Islam by the name of Islam (thats why CIA is behind of them)
    the US gov is responsible for any child, man or woman they kill , rape, cut head, or "eat"
    if any war should be started to stop terrorism , it must be against US gov , not others
