Here is the difference. If I sent you all that infomation who knows where it would end up. The information the goverment is collecting is read and store by computers, the only time that informations is ever viewed by a real live person is when certian trip words are used. Like bomb, or terrorism, or if you use a threat that the computer can read. Then it goes into a file that is viewed by one or two people and if there is nothing behind it, it gets locked up in some vault never to be seen again unless that person continues to make comments like it or they are involved in some sort of crime. Can I ask you, do you like school, do you like the fact that you can get an education, the fact that you can work a job make money and spend it any way you like. The fact that you can marry anyone you chose. Do you like the fact that you can own your own property, you own home, car, and stuff. Other nations that is not so, yet you want more freedoms. Freedom ain't free. Back in 1776 those soldiers laid there lives on the line so that we could have a nation. In the intrest of keeping that nation alive still today, laws have been made things have been done so that we can live with as much freedom as anyone on this planet and still be safe and live the greatest life there is to live. In America we are safer that anyone in the world, we are protected by a police force, do they make mistakes, yes, Rodney King case, we have a military that protects us. Do they make mistakes yes. But look at our military record and compair it to Russia, the former Soviet Union, to Japan who ruthlessly murdered over 18 million chinese in world war two. Look at Germany, They did everything in there power to extermanate the jews with the genocide. And you think our soldiers are bad because now and then a stray bullet kills some kid in a war zone. War sucks, if there were to never be another war again i would be the happiest man alive. But If we do not do what needs to be done. If we do not stop others from attacking us by keeping a large standing military then we will be exterminated like the jews almost were, like the Japenese tried to do to the Chinese. You think our military is so bad look at other nations, compare us to them see what the rest of the world is like. Not every where can you say what you want without ending up dead and having your family killed. So thank you troops, you are doing a great job, and you need not listen to those who don't realize the importance of what you do for they know not what sacrafice is. Thank And GOD BLESS AMERICA

That is one of the best ways I have ever heard something like that put. I believe you hit the nail right on the head. Supporting Your troops, has nothing to do with believing in the war or in what they are doing or why. It is that these men and women were order by congress and the president to do what they are doing. Whether they think what they are doing is good or not they are still doing it. They are the ones who deserve the support of our nation. They selflessly lay their lives down that we may live. Freedom is not free and it is not a right. It is a privalge that we here in America take for granted because we have had Freedom for so long. It is true that some of our freedoms are being reduced because of the threat of attacks by terrorists on American soil. I belive that if you aren't doing anything wrong why shoul you care if someone is viewing your emails or phone conversations. They aren't looked at by people till you come under question because you say something that the computers catch. So unless you are planning to do something stupid like attack America I wouldn't worry or care that some computer in some building is looking at my phone records. The cost of freedom had been payed in blood. The blood of our fathers , brothers, sisters and mothers and all those service men and women who have served be for this time. there sacrifice that gives us freedom to say we want to when we want to when we want to. There sacrafice fives us the freedoms that we all enjoy today. Thank You for your comment and your patriotism. God Bless AMERICA

The Iranies would not be the ones using the weapon. It would be a bunch of terrorist that they support. But yes they would use the nuclear weapons to either bully Isreal or attack it. That would be as bad as attacking americans because they live there and that they are our alies.

The whole point of the discussions to take place in this forum was not to be bashing one group or another. Although that is what has happened. I personally would leave right now and join the armed forces, US Marines to be specific but I can't I am only 16 and have to wait another year or two. Do you not realize that these men signed up for this. They were not forced they were not made to join. They willing signed up and most of the service men and women in Iraq signed up after the Terrorist attacks wich were acts of war. This is true be cause it was an attack on a soverign nation. A nation that did nothing to deserve to have hundred and thousands of its people killed. I am proud to be american and one day I hope that I will have kids that will be able to say that they are proud to be americans because america is still around. If you stupid people quite being stupid and let the goverment do there job and let the soldiers do theres gave them support and tyhe money that is need to rebuild a nation that is now on the rise as a leading influencer in the middle east we could get out of the area much sooner. Instead you moan and complain that we are fighting. Sorry to tell you but in the history of the world peace has always followed war. So to get peace there has to be a war at some point. Sorry If I am making you mad. Look at Iran, In a couple of months they will have nuclear missles they will eventually find there way to america and then there will be major issues. They will make there way into Europe. And Isreal will be attacked. All of us are not inocent of everything, but no one not even those who were bombed in Japan deserve to die without the chance to fight. That is what happens to civilians in wars. It is unfair and rude but war is not clean clear and perfect. People that don't need to die die and those who deserve death don't die. This is a messed up world and throgh voting and in voicing our oppinions we can make a change. If there was never another war I would be happy. But that won't happen. War will end when this world ends. I hope I am not here when it happens. I am not afraid of death. If I die I want to die fighting for my country and what I believe in or at an old age after I have lived a good and fufilling life. God Bless America. thank you soldiers for doing what needs to be done. For putting your lives at risk for others. Athough you may not believe it you are doing a work that must be done. Thank you all for what you have done. And People always and I mean always remember those who died or were injured and those who lived through a war for what they have done for you. GOD BLESS THE TROOPS OF THE USA

Look at the North Koreans because of support of our soldiers and because of the war in both Iraq and in afghanistan the North Koreans backed down let US officals in without the use of military power to talk and to look at the weapons that they had. Also the worst missle that the Iraqies had could hit and kill many hundreds of Isrealies. Don't say that that is then Isreals problem. They do not have the ability to defend themselves from the hundreds of attacks that are sent against them and lead a war to stop an evil dictator. So we as allies with them went in. Was this the reason, no we went into Iraq because there was a belife that at the time they had WMDs So far there have been no actual weapons but there have the proper suplies to make the WMDs and the proper missiles to deliver them throught the middle east and into some parts of EUROPE were we have even more allies. If a friend of yours was attacked when you were with them by a man with a knife and you have a bigger knife of a gun you would mostlikly unless you are stupid shoot back or fight back. This is what we did. We were attacked by a group of terrorists that have supplies coming from both the Taliban and Hussien from the use of there country as refuge and money and arms. So we the peoplw with the bigger guns betters planes fought back. All that is now left of the Taliban and Iraqi army are a bunch of roving soldiers that do do harm but there is no more large scale war. Now we are rebuilding to nations that have been war struck alomost there entire lifes. Even if we hadn't gone in they would have needed help to rebuild and now that we are there we can supply these people with food and with shelter and give them a better life because we got involved in something that could have turned out badly but because of superior skill equipment and intelligence (CIA TYPE) we were able to win and we will keep winning. Support you troops people they need it. Hate the war if you want that I am ok with but support you soldiers.

Hey everyone who lives in America and around the world it is time to stand up and support your armed service men and women. Every man and women who serves in the armed forces deserves to be reconized for what they do. These men and women are laying down there lives while we sit at home at a computer and gripe about what this leader did and what the leader did. George W Bush is not a bad man nor is Tony Blair. They are true patriots. They serve they're country in office and have determined that force is nessecary to stop the evil men of Al Queda and Suduam Hussien and Osama Bin Laden. None of whom should have any power or control in the world but we wounderful people of the world do not realise this intill we are attack and someone close to us dies. Then we call for action. But what about all those who lost love ones during 9/11 in America. They want action and they are getting action. The men who commited this crime are going to pay the price and have paid the price. The US grouped with many allies have retaliated to the first punch and are now being asked to stop by the same people who want this action in the beggining. This world is wacked up. Leave politics to politicians and support your troops. They might not believe in it but most of them do. Do what you can to help them. They need it. They need a strong united front at home. When they come back find a way to through a celebration and a parade they deserve it. Every chance you get thank them. These men and women defend your country and your rights. Thank them for that. And GOD BLESS AMERICA and ALL ARMED SERVICE MEN and WOMEN. Go USA

Amen, Amen. This world needs more people, America especially needs more people with back bones that will stand up for what they believe in and that will put there foot down when the foot needs to come down. Because of our military action in Iraq and in Afghanistan the North Koreans have backdown after succesfully completing a neclear bomb test because they believed that if they didn't they would have a couple thousand US Marines, and the whole rest of the package droping bombs and blowing things up in there country. Personaly I would not want to take us on in the US it would be suicide. Before the North Koreans even knew what was happening they would have had bombs falling all over the place. Those who don't believe that war is a good thing look at what it has done to North Korea. Because MY country The United States of America is not afraid of anyone and did not back down from Sudam we scared the crap out of the North Koreans enough to stop them from making nuclear bombs. They had the knowledge they had the ability. They even tested one, but then chickened out. GO USA

The USA is a country one in it's own. The only country in which a draft doger can become president and a veteran will live in a box. No nation will be perfect but america is the closets one to being perfect. We have fought for both our freedom and that of others many times. We have liberated two countries of leaders that were both detremental to themselves and to us in the US. Also France owes its country to us. Had we not came into the WWII France would just be a name in the history book. Voting is a wonderful right. To bad the rest of the world doesn't have the ability to vote because i bet the world would be a better place and everyone would finally have a saw in what there country did. Politics suck. To many lies on both sides but it is better than being told as a nation that one person is in power that his family will forever be in power and that there is nothing you can do about it. America is awesome and I would galdly die in her defense. God Bless america

If you take your time and find out what you really truely want in a girl and then only accept someone who meets all that criteria then you will do fine. Looks although great will sometimes be a hinderence. I would much rather date a average looking girl who is awesome and has a great personality and believes in god which is a big thing for me than have a super hot deva who is as dumb as a rock. Not saying that because you look good you are stupid that is just a steriotype which i personally don't agree with. But that is a topic for another time and place. So if you want a good wholesome relationship then find a girl who believes in what you belive in and someone that knows all about you and still cares about you and date them. That relationship will last long and be benificial to both of you.

I can't agree more. War in a communistic state is horrible because if the leader does not know how to run a war campaign then the nation is doomed. In a democracy you have multiple people giving imput so that the outcome is much more likely to be positive. That is why execpt Vietnam that we have never lost a war in America. We also have something to fight for. We have our freedom other nations don't have freedom of anything else truly worth while to fight for. That is why i agree with democracy.

If people would take the time to look at some stitistics or do a little reasearch of there own this world and this country, the USA would be alot better off. Since Bush has taken office we have had one terrorist attack on america. When Clinton was in office we had an average of one terrorist attack a year. Clinton launched million dollar missles at tents in retaliation. Bush lead a coalition into Afgahnistan and Iraq that has produce many results. Since then terrorsin abroud is down and we hav not had antoh attack.

I personaly don't think that communism is all that bad. It is bad when you get a crackpot leader controling everything in a country. If the leader, which could be a man or a woman but most often a man who is deranged and while controling the nation has unlimited access to nuclear weapons and a military to do what every they want. Look at the USSR both us meaning the United States and them were at a stand off to war because we didn't understand one another. Learning what another group of people is all about is a good thing. So instead of jumping to conclusions about communism or anything else, you need to take time to get to know the people and take time to understand where they are coming from. I personally disagree with what communism does to a nation. The country loses all it's ambition. For this reason communism has alwaysed failed and I belive always will fail. I belive that communistic nations should be dealt with most severly and that if they are not dealt with imeediatily that can become a dark smudge and a rapidly improving world. God Bless America.
