There is not supposed to be two sides of an issue. Especially now with the economic issue people only look at the economical aspect of the candidate. That's just stupid.
There needs to be at least two sides to every issue. If you are in unanimous agreement, obviously you aren't looking in the right places for an opinion.
That's a weird story really, especially since Bin Laden already did attacks on USA before the Iraq/Kuwait war.
What about this, Bin Laden and USA had a deal to fight together, USA did promises but never made those come true, pissing of Bin Laden? Seriously, current situation and 9/11 are a bit deeper than your argument.
Oh, really? Then you know something I don't. Do tell.
No, not really. Bin Laden is holding a grudge against the USA just like Bush was holding a grudge against Hussein. Bin Laden was writing a story and needed an antagonist. At the time, USA was the best choice in his eyes.
Yeah, we pissed of bin Laden alright...by being better than him. Since there is no way he could get up to our level before he dies, he tries to tear us down to his level...
Why wouldnt I like the police? Only if they arrested me or whatever, but otherwise I dont give a fuck what they're doing. Apparently those people want USA out no matter what. Besides that there's still a huge group in Iraq who support Hussein and if possible would re-elect him.
They are a sign of authority--everything you shouldn't do. People are naturally intimidated by that. Iraqi's are intimidated seeing state of the art military equipment flying past their house and troops decked out in full body armor with a gun the size of a small child, as they should be. You really don't appreciate them until the enemy fires at you and they return fire, in which case, they provide a sense of security that would have become panic had they not been there.
Since the violence has gone down considerably, the intimidation is present without the sense of security so, people would rather see them disappear. That is understandable; however, it has to be done diligently in order to not lose controlled ground.
They never had "elections" in Iraq while Hussein was in power. I doubt that claim on basis anyway. :/
You seem to read things with different contexts. Of course those soldiers dont say "Hey lets commit suicide" and then Leroy into a hostile camp. Point is that the whole war against the Taliban is one big suicide operation because you wont gain anything and only lose it. That's what I mean.
The Taliban is no longer in power in Afghanistan and they haven't been for many years. So, they want their power back but they will die trying.
I know, and thus it's not a really communistic country anymore, otherwise that wasnt accepted.
It is very communist in leadership. The economic elements are really only present in the large cities of China where the communist leadership has "blessed" certain business owners to operate in a capitalist fashion (money, money, money). The farther away you get from the cities, the more apparent the communist control becomes (which is the majority, by the way).
And next year you've to go to China because all hospitals are broke
The place that costs $40,000 is ranked either #1 or #2 hospital in the world (Mayo Clinic). When treated there, you have about 3 different doctors and 9 in training with a massive support staff of nurses and the like. All of which are probably paid at least six figure digits.
The place that costs $2500 has one doctor and a handful of nurses.
One is lean and mean, the other is big and slow; however, sometimes you need big and slow...but hey, I have both options available to me.
Of course, it's a judgment call. Obama's plan I think is exactly that, to catch the few that fall through the cracks and make sure they are not cheated. The people who are already good are unaffected (supposedly, and whether the plan will actually go into effect is another story). I actually would like to go a little further myself though, the FDA in it's current state scares the crap out of me.
The problem with Obama's plan is that, because it is leveraged against taxpayer money, the private industries can't compete. As his government healthcare grows, the private healthcare dies. As a result, the government ads even more debt to a 10 trillion dollar deficit. We are in a position right here and right now to prevent creating another Medicaid/Medicare crisis 30 years down the road. That's why I feel his plan is fundamentally incorrect. It is not sustainable.
