true enough about petrol and use of force for drug
did you know that the drug companies have the ability to save alot of people that have some very rare diseases but won't produce it
they know that these orphan drugs will not make them any moneys
they know that by the time they devise it, test it, get it certified, that the 20-100 people in the world that have these rare disease will never offer them a profit

personally i believe in natural medicine and preventative health lifestyle

Re: does anyone care?

we cant live without petrol...what an inconveince whtn oyou got to your thermostat and no heat comes on or when you go to take a shower and thereis no hot water....

but to anser your quest i ty not to think on it too muc nor whatch the news xuz the situation litterally makes my blood boil...but on the other side of things...i do think that ppl and theier lives are important, so im not discounting that at all...the loss of life , for such a persaonal and greedy cause is sickening...but what is the military for if not pawns for the govenment....they swear and oath to protcet no matter what...they get a pay check...it is their job...no body complains when htere is peace and you have unknown mounts of military persnellcolloecting paycheckes, its all good...but when the tiem come to EARN that money everybody up in they panties.....nobody FORCED them to go....not oly are thery being killed but how many are they killing? do you think everyone they are killing is TALABAN...how many innocents are dying...thats whow my heart bleeds for.

Re: does anyone care?

AND... regardless of what any of you think.... Sadam was a problem.... and would have become an even bigger problem in the future...

If you ask me... another "conquer the world" asshole has been laid to rest thanks to our fine US Policies....

excuse me while I step out of here and let my temper cool back down.

Re: does anyone care?

but who knows when it will be finished, like others have said, we are fighting an ideology, we kill the present danger, but some of these people are grooming future dangers as we speak

it will NEVER be finished...sometimes you have to admit when you picked a fight that you just CANT win. Bullies rarely see it this way thuogh, until they get sooo beat down they cant do anything else.


these ppl fight for THOUSANDS of years things they belive in.....you think they gonna give up?

Re: does anyone care?

This is making me angry about the war today:


Local Woman May Be Deported After Husband Dies In Iraq
Dahianna Heard Months From Citizenship Before Husband's Death

POSTED: 11:40 am EDT October 12, 2006

CASSELBERRY, Fla. -- A Central Florida woman said the love of her life was killed in Iraq, and his death might be her one-way ticket out of this country.

Dahianna Heard lives in Casselberry in Seminole County, but she is Venezuelan by birth, WESH 2 News reported.

She was only three months away from being a legal citizen by marriage. She could be forced to move back to her homeland, but with her son born in this country, she said she wants to stay.



Jeffrey Heard was a contractor in Iraq providing communications equipment to the military. He was killed in March in the combat zone. Dahianna Heard has a memorial to him in their Casselberry home.

But so far, none of that has mattered to immigration officials who said since he died before their second wedding anniversary, she and their 1-year-old son, Brian, have to go back to her home country.

"I don't want to go to Venezuala. It's not a good situation right now with President (Hugo) Chavez," she said. "My family is here. My life is here. Everything is here. I see my husband here. I have baby here. My family is here."

Her lawyer hopes the technicality will be overlooked. Jeff Heard had petitioned for his wife's citizenship, but that petition died with him. Her petition is seen as deficient because she wasn't married to him a full two years.

She said she wants to stay in the country her husband helped defend.

Her lawyer hopes to get a waiver on humanitarian grounds.

Exactly babyloc... and just like Vietnam... the president kept at it for 5 years and lost hundreds of thousands more lives when he KNEW it couldn't be won, but he didn't want to admit defeat...

I hate this war. It needs to end now. I wish our Congress had the balls to stand up to GWB but they risk losing popularity by appearing to put the troops in danger. It's really simple... if we don't FUND the war, they will have to bring the troops home. You don't give a kid who has crashed three cars a brand new car do you? Simple analogy, but it makes my point....

i totally agree.. :|

i also noticed when i was in canada.. that the states sensor the news ALLOT.. did you know that not only are we killing arabs, and iraqi'z. we have killed canadians too?

it just disgusts me..

the way i see it is.. we truely are fighting a battle because they wanna see who's **** is bigger.. and they have to much pride to give up now..

now if we really had justifiable reason to be over there. dont you think that we would be backed up.. isn't that why we have allies.. it should of been a clue when they didnt back us up. that we aren't doing something right..

just my personal opinion..
