techall Ask them what? Did they (the Kurds) appreciate being abandoned by Poppa Bush after being encouraged to rise up against Saddam?

Will life be better for the Kurds and all Iraqis after the US forces leave? One would hope so, but there are no guarantees.

I guess the big question is whether or not life in Iraq will be better after the US forces leave than before they arrived to oust he-who-is-not-relevant-to-this-discussion. All fair-minded people hope the Iraqi can emerge stronger and more secure (and free) regardless of the bogus reasons for attacking Iraq in…

Olympic champion Valeriy Borchin of Russia became the first gold winner of the 2009 worlds, winning the event in 1:18:41.

The United States Government has been proudly Socialist since 1913 (Federal Reserve Act).

And yet in the time since 1913 America has become the world's most powerful nation economically, militarily, and culturally in the history of civilization.

Exactly how has socialism (however defined) hurt the United States?

Well he has never been regarded as a diva and for most of my life I could not stand him. But a few years back a colleague lent me "Blood On the Tracks" and it was beautiful, the writing, the music and eventually the voice all…

In Montana the population is very low compared to Chicago so of course gun crime would be low. But anyway I was taking about gun wounds, not gun crime.

Moderator: Readers, stay on topic please. This story is not about gun control.

cleo it boggles the mind at to how some equate world class health care to some magically transform into a benefit to the 10s of millions not insured or the millions more who are underinsured.

One came from Randy Rathie, who called himself “a proud NRA member,” referring to the National Rifle Association, and said he got most of his news from cable TV.

I wonder if "proud NRA members" like Mr. Rathie are concerned about how much gun wounds (accidental or otherwise) add to…
