Maybe a little bit less military support from the almighty US would make them come to their senses... Some of them have the kippa to tight on their skulls. Wonder how Americans don´t realize they are being pushed around by the israel lobbies... So much for the land of the free

and yet how many brain dead stereotype skydiver with the tattoos and piercings (to repeat - in order to show they are an individual .... just like everyone else) do you know that would pay good money to make themselves either irridescent just for giggles? You can make yourself glow with gene therapy or you can make everybody glow with warped´s home made flame thrower...

To some extent yes. At least we were when Aznar decided to join Bush in his Middle East adventure. About Rota and Moron, i think it is apples and oranges. It is just rented soil where we let you have your military base in exchange for something. Same thing happens with embassies, it is a little piece of your country in my country and viceversa. Now, if you come to my country uninvited, killing the head of state of a sovereign nation and countless innocent civilians, then we would be comparing aples and aples regarding the situation in Irak.

I must've missed the news coverage of the troops forcing the Iraquis to pass that Constitution and vote for who the US wanted them to... can you point to me to a good source for that? Not really, however considering that a sovereign country like Irak still has a permanent presence of foreign military, i would say that democracy is questionable at best. Wouldn´t you agree?. If instead of McCain vs Obama, you somehow make it McCain vs Palin, you may fool yourself that it is democracy and the the outcome is people´s will, however either way Republicans win and Democrats lose. Furthermore if the USA has influenced other countries` governments by means of the CIA and secret services, what won´t they do if you add to the equation the regular army invading that very own country.

John, don´t be dishonest. SH was left to be judged by people who hated him. It was known to everybody that he would be executed. Had he been judged by baathist mates he would have been declared not guilty. Likewise if Bush´s fate has to be decided by 12 taleban peers, i bet you he will be declared guilty. Considering that the government at that time was a puppet of the US (probably still is) anything institutional can be consider as meddling in Iraq´s internal affairs.

The murder follows another shocking killing linked to a boy. Last Thursday, a 9-year-old Arizona boy reached a plea deal with authorities who accused him of the fatal shootings of his father and his father's room-mate. The boy pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in the death of his father's room-mate while the murder charge in his father's death was dropped. I am waiting to see John Rich´s solution. Probably give weapons to all their siblings so they can protect mommy and daddy if little joe goes nuts with dad´s shotgun.

I honestly cannot answer your questions for medicine is not my field, besides it was quite a while ago. However the savings were worth mentioning as the government pay for 90% of the cost of the treatment and the user pays only 10%. With a population of almost 50 million, savings of several millions euros is not an understimation. Not all drugs has been replaced with a generic, only some. The medical properties has weighted much more (if not all) in the decision than the cost-efficiency. What they advertised was that there was absolutely no diference between the generic and the branded drug. Of course not, but it is okay with me if they save some money that is unnecesarily spent and instead of buying a new jet for the stockholders of a pharmacy company they build another hospital or give a payrise to the doctors.

Something similar happened in Spain and the authorities found out that there was no real advantage using brand medicines against generic drugs. Si if the active component of "clamoxil Tm" is amoxiciline the government in the socielized medicine will prescript directly amoxiciline wich is much cheaper and does the same than the branded version. You can still buy clamoxil if you want to, but the government will not pay for it. It has saved the taxpayers millions of Euros. I don´t see anything bad about it.

Unless your religion forces you to take an stance on issues that has nothing to do with you. Welcome yo the world of religious intolerance.

You are totally right, "pillor bitter" was totally uncalled for. We don´t know yet wether he prefers to byte pillows or necks... So sorry, i couldn´t resist. Anyway, go to church to pray, to the dropzone to jump and to the blue oyster to socialize. It is usually not a great idea to get them mixed.

Exactly my point. But if your level of paranoia is high enough that you have the need to pack heat in a kid´s soccer game, why cannot i be paranoid enough to think that you are going to go nuts and try to harm me?

That is not the issue. Your "what-if" is: What if some nut comes along and decide to do any harm to any of the presesent?. And i admit you may have a point there, but i have another "what-if": What if she goes nuts and decide to shoot at any of the presents, no matter how law-abidden she may be? or maybe this one: What if her kid takes her gun and shoots my kid either as a game or over a petty dispute? Is my "what-if" any less valid than yours? If so, prove it.

That is not what i am talking about. Wether they are arabs or not, they surely will not apreciate foreign intromission in their domestic affairs. If you fund a terrorist group like you have done in the past (and probably still do), chances are that a group of the population is going to get mighty pissed at you. They may even try to blow the U.S embassy or something like that. Will you be surprised? will you think the reason is that they hate you because you are free?

Will you be surprise when the next terrorist attack on U.S. soil comes from Iran?
