Yeh, I agree. Let's just be nice to them and see if that helps.

Frankly, I think we should arm both sides with weapons, pull out our troops and let them kill eachother off until only 1 is left standing. He can be kind of the desert.

It is stupid for an American soldier to die on ME soil but when they started going stuff on our soil, they crossed the line.

Um.. What was the Persian Gulf war about? Oil. No Americans were attacked. The world trade center was attacked by Saudi Arabia but we didn't invade them.....

Now we're stepping into south Sudan.
Oil interests yet again.

It's either oil or keeping the USD petrodollar safe.

And as far as minding my own business, as long at my tax dollars are going to support this type of behavior, then that is my business.

No, FDR and his "New Deal" was the beginning of the welfare state.

And even he had some misgivings about it.

"The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America. ...

The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief."

the great tragedy is black people are usuallly murdered by black people.
it seems lack of respect paid is the usual fatal offense.
you are right its all bad but
but for me black on black violence --- this is the elephant in the living room, friend .
it needs attention--- jesse jackson has really tried to get your help on this one but
he doesnt get much--- mostly eye rolling and denial.
is this the part when you demand that i provide links to justify such outrageous insinuations?
your are right--- none of us are sinless but when i think of all the young black people whose lives have been terminated and never got a chance to live out all the things that could have been, all bek somebody some pants down 9mm hood rat, did not get paid enough respect--- it makes me grieve.
