If that were the truth, Iraqi's would have been blowing people up under Saddam's rule.

Why blow people up with car bombs when you have the entire military at your disposal to kill thousands in a single day. In the end all you're saying is that you prefer the type…

Perhaps, but only a tiny percentage own enough to be taxed at a 28% capital gains rate. There is no reason why labor can be taxed at a 28% rate while capital enjoys a discount -- other than a system that is skewed towards the wealthy. 28% was good enough…

Give it to Rio....it would be cool to see the Olympics down there. Chicago is a great city but people in the US hardly watch the Olympics anymore. Tokyo would be great as well... Madrid? Just doesn't do much for me but I can't say I have any reason why...

It is true that most of the US citizens think that they are always right, and everyone else is wrong. This doesn't help...

From our perspective we meet a lot of Europeans who think that they are always right and the US is always wrong. I'm going to go out…

Had George W. Bush even read two autobiographies before he was 45?

Europe will miss George Bush when he's not around

"the Europeans are going to miss Mr Bush in ways that they are only beginning to understand. They'll miss, first, having a villain in the White House. It's a really convenient excuse to avoid doing anything yourself on pressing global…

Why don't we all just wait until the debates start, then form our opinions on how they performed?

When will the world wake up and finally do something about this terrible Israeli regime and help out the Palestinians, who have suffered terribly for over 6 decades. So many Palestinians are being blown to pieces by the constant attacks from the Israelis.

Here, we disagree. No offense, but you kind of waxed over that whole "held for years at Gitmo without charges" part.

Actually I mentioned it in my first post and then referenced Souter's opinion about it as well. I agree that they have to do something (charge or release) in…
