  • I am in the USMC. I am 19 and it is MY disition to join the Corps not yours. If you dont want to support me or my Corps dont speek about it. and one more thing if i didn't want to be there i wouldn't have joined.

  • Unfortunately, all the reasons why America goes to war in Iraq or Iran is because Israel lobby in US. The lobby is so powerful and any lider come to power need to accept this before became president. No way to be president unless the candidates accept their wishes. Candidates who became president bow to the lobby and they all fails to end and ignore the pressure of the lobby. I thought American knew this but they still dont..anyway, cheers. Hashim Greco

  • Interesting how Cindy Sheehan mentions the lack of confidence she has in any of the candidates to stop this thing and I fully agree. We as a nation had our chance to end this war with about 3 different candidates and we ignored them all. I hope that the people by their action can turn this thing around. I wonder how long this longshore action will take place and if it will be significant enough to make a difference.

  • Isn't that part of learning? Learning about life and how your government works? Wow, maybe you should teach your own damn kids then if you want them to remain ignorant to the rest of the world. Maybe they will have fun watching some mindless television too.

  • I send both my children to school to learn the "three R's". I do not send my children to school to be politically indoctrinated.
