I find it amazing that only a few seem to think thay the war against Iraq has made us safer, yet there is not more of an outcry against Bush for screwing the economy.
Failing schools demonstrate the government's inability to make something better by regulating it. Schools got worse after No Child Left Behind.

the deliberate dumbing down of america is a chronological history of the past 100+ years of education reform. Each chapter takes a period of history and recounts the significant events, including important geopolitical and societal contextual information. Citations from government plans, policy documents, and key writings by leading reformers record the rise of the modern education reform movement. Americans of all ages will welcome this riveting expose of what really happened to what was once the finest education system in the world
I think that money could have been spent on space research. We have many conservatives that believe a large defense budget is good for the country. Because what normally goes into the military will eventually come back to the civilian. However, that was then and now is now. We are in a different era and war machine will not be what gives us an unlimited fuel supply that is renewable and clean. War machine will not give us the cures to diseases that plague us.

And space research would? I would be for putting the money into the space program, if the space progam was operated by the Department of Defense! Imagine the possibilities!
The Shah of Iran was ruthless, but he was our dictator of choice, and we sold arms to him. Why don't we just mind out own business?
Don't forget that it was also Churchill and Eisenhower who put the Shah in power anyway -- they did, for the purpose of re-sacking the nationalized oil of Mohammed Mossadegh, take Iran's DEMOCRATIC president from power.
Such hypocricy on the side of Americans -- it's complete self-interest.

The space research would do what I said. Give me some breathing room from republicans and democrats
Iraq has been nothing but a waste of time,money,lives.We're still looking for the water guns the iraqis where hiding with no luck finding them.The iraqis must have some real good hiding places.

My guess is that people have given up and are just looking forward to 1-20-09. I know for me I think we're in so far deep and it's led to a sense of learned helplessness on my part. Knowing that Bush will be gone (not soon enough for me) leads to some hope.
Has spending $3,000,000,000,000 of our tax dollars to invade Iraq made us more safe...or less?
