i think jws should have to work on paid holidays.

i work with 3 of them & they even accept the annual holiday bonus as a gift from the company.....hmmmmm.

what do you all think about this.

Good point, Sargon. I was always ripped for that by my co-workers. I never knew what to say in reply. I did feel a little hypocrital for accepting it.

isn't it odd that after the gulf war, george h.w.

bush promised a "kinder, gentler, u.s."?

nice to see his son follow in his footsteps.... i know what most supporters of the upcoming war are going to say, that 'the world changed after 9-11'...i don't believe that.

I know what most supporters of the upcoming war are going to say, that 'the world changed after 9-11'...I don't believe that. I don't believe the world changed, just the American's perception. It's always been this violent. It's just that it finally made it's way here. Many people (especially Americans) get riled up about that. Just remember, the U.S. hasn't had a war on their soil in about 140 years. I know I'm gonna get slammed for this, but I tend to sympathize with many Europeans, who've known only war.

Oh, and the UN gave Iraq a 'B'...not bad, I'm a 'B' student myself...

Thanks for fueling the anti-American sentiments, Texas Apostate. You're exactly the type of person people outside of the US have come to fear. And as far as I know, our government has done nothing to prove Iraq's guilt. Just the other day I was watching Donald Rumsfeld telling a reporter that he had no proof of Iraq's WMD. He 'knows' they have it. Yeah, and I 'know' the Red Sox are going to win a World Series in my lifetime.

Countries being self-sufficient? What, is it so wrong for a country to want to defend themselves? and to want to supply themselves with power? North Korea is facing a severe power shortage. You tell me to do some research. You're a funny guy. You actually think the US is worthy to be one of the only countries to posess nuclear weapons? Isn't the US the only country to have used them during a war? And if I'm not mistaken, Bush has not ruled out the use of them on Iraq.

I can tell you're one the dwindling number of Bush supporters.

I watched Micheal Moore the last night and he said something very interesting. Bush, in all his infinite wisdom, rather than being able to find the one man mostly responsible for the terrorist attacks, has instead decided to war on a nation of 20 million people. I can see the logic in that. (yeah right!) Not only that, but 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi Arabian. NOT IRAQI. And yet our government is content with Saudi Arabia's 'cooperation'. Why are we attempting to punish someone else (no matter how despicable) for a crime that someone else committed? It defies logic.

Consider this: Saddam Hussein is a Sunni. It is the Shi'ite Muslims (whom he has quelled) who are the more radical, extremist and sometimes violent followers of Islam. You want to get rid of Saddam and open up that can of worms? You want a nation on the brink to go over the edge? Be careful what you wish for, TA.

And as far as Iran? which is made up mostly of Shi'ites? I think (hope) you can gather where this point is taking you.

Keep supporting your Holy Roman Empire, TA, because that is the way we are headed.
