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...

I loved the president's stance on that. When everyone was pushing for more time to find the stuff he rushed ahead and invaded. Then when everyone asked for proof to justify our actions he said "give us more time". It's almost like a cop falsifying information to get a search warrant.

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).

There's nothing, I repeat NOTHING, wrong or immoral with two people who love each other who want to get married. Just because whatever church you go to tells it's wrong doesn't make it immoral. I don't particularly like the idea of homosexuality, but for fuck's sake, they're just people. There's absolutely no reason they should be denied the same rights as everyone else solely because there's too many traditionalist conservatives in government.

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.

Don't forget that much like those anti-Americans, man of us are also taught that god is to be put above all else. I think the reason they hate us is simple...we don't even know why they hate us. We're so preoccupied with our pointless little nothing lives that we don't even take time to examine why others hate us. They don't like our culture or the parts of it that find their way over there, but how is that any different from what we do?
