10:30pm Sunday Night President's Having a Press Conference?

[Danzig]

just so you know, i find all those things abhorrent...but as a country, we many times look away at certain things in order to further our agenda. that's what's happening in this case.
hell, look at one of our big allies during ww2. stalin was a monster, remember? but he was the lesser of two evils at the time.

pakistan is similar to that. we do what we can when we can; perhaps in future we can help them change. that takes time.

Sorry we disagree but we need to take the high road. If we can stop mothers from packing school lunches for their children surely we can require fathers not to marry off or kill their daughters.

Certainly this should never occur in America, as I've said before...life in prison or deport their butt (for forced marriages)...!

But it does. 15 miles from where I grew up a girl is on the run 16 (I think) because of her barbaric father and the chicago press are giving little coverage (apparantly she's being safe housed thank God and allah) and the coverage they do, shows a grieving father with no explaination of why the daughter is missing tho most everyone knows the 'Paul Harvey' full version.

Father facing no charges.

Personally speaking I despise turf/poly horses who do well on dirt. Just venting here I guess.

it's all well and good to say that, but we have a big issue over there, and we need pakistans assistance (limited as it is). doesn't mean we like how things are there, or agree with them, or want their ways to become ours. besides, isn't the saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?? look at tunisia, egypt...people there are moving towards freedom; the same can happen elsewhere, including pakistan. as word spreads, so will freedom and change.

We have 2 options we give them the 3.5 billion and find out whether they're friends or we give them nothing and find out the same thing. With the second suggestion we save 3.5 billion. No brainer IMO.

At a minimum, the new Egypt is likely to be less friendly to the US and less committed to peace with Israel, both of whom are popularly associated with the Mubarak regime. As such, Egypt would be far less inclined to support American policies in the region, including counter-terrorism cooperation, and to play its traditional stabilizing role in the peace process and Mideast generally. An Egypt such as this would constitute a dramatic change for the worse in the regional balance of power.

A couple said Egypt has new freedom to impose religious law, that's all I could find other than individual quotes. Not good for what we consider little girls and who 'they' consider wife material. I'm talking 12-13 year olds mind you and sometimes cousins. Sick MFO's !!!!!

Can't wait to see bin Laden's Yemini father-in-law and all the father in laws on all the news shows and The View, Maddow etc etc. They'll get him (them) I'm sure.

i admire your fortitude. i was going to try to post some witty variation of "don't waste your time" when i saw this.

now that dell's responded i'll do the same as him and dispose of wit.

don't waste your time.

the conversations here are generally about shouting points and framing all opposing viewpoints as equivalent to supporting slavery.

they're all terrorists and child molesters. nothing you post can change that.
