we never actually took "that ground" we cleared it for the Iraqis. Then, in accordance with an agreement negotiated by the previous President, what's-his-name (seems that mentioning his name - even in accurately speaking about things he did, either good or bad enrages some on the right).

Also, if NATO wishes to continue to exist, it needs a reason - missions do change (be they for better or for worse) - especially if the alternative is to become obsolete.

Anyway, I think the concern here is not another cold war, but actually a hot one.  A very hot one potentially.

Now, whether NATO would actually go to war - I think what plays into this is not simply another nation encroaching onto Ukraine - but that it is Russia, and that it seems to be one piece in a bigger plan.
So, given how Europe did not stand firm prior to WW II at the start, it may be they will feel the need to do so here; I do not know.

I got news for you the united states have been executing muslims since 9/11 with drones,now its up to you to choose which is more babaric,useing a missile to blow you to pieces or a beheading,which is very common,the syrians having been doing it so has the saudies,and its was done in lebanon.
Remember Obama had said the united states is at war with isil,which was like the death sentice on the american held hostages.

What I don't get is this... The Islamic nutters fighting western culture, they say they absolutely hate drugs, homosexuality etc... Yet sorry to say this but the type of sex act is exactly that and the drugs are exactly what we want off our streets.... So why do these people hell bend on destroying our freedoms not kick things off in their own back yard..clean up their own culture then lecture to us?!

Why Isn’t Monetary Pumping Helping the Economy?
http://mises.org/daily/6853/Why-Isnt-Monetary-Pumping-Helping-the-Economy
Any policy, which artificially boosts demand, leads to consumption that is not backed up by a previous production of wealth. For instance, monetary pumping that is supposedly aimed at lifting the economy in fact generates activities that cannot support themselves. This means that their existence is only possible by diverting real wealth from wealth generators.

Printing presses set in motion an exchange of nothing for something. Note that a monetary pumping sets a platform for various non-productive or bubble activities — instead of wealth being used to fund the expansion of a wealth generating infrastructure, the monetary pumping channels wealth toward wealth squandering activities.

This means that monetary pumping leads to the squandering of real wealth. Similarly a policy of artificially lowering interest rates in order to boost demand in fact provides support for various non-productive activities that in a free market environment would never emerge.

We suggest that the longer central banks worldwide persist with their loose monetary policies the greater the risk of severely damaging the wealth-generating process is. This in turn raises the likelihood of a prolonged stagnation.

All this however, can be reversed by shrinking the size of the government and by the closure of all the loopholes of the monetary expansion. Obviously a tighter fiscal and monetary stance is going to hurt various non-productive activities.

If we wait long enough, maybe they'll kill each other off.
Fighting in Syria spawns separate civil war in global jihadist movement
The civil war in Syria has spawned another civil war in the global jihadist movement, with Islamic State, ruled by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (l.), and Al Qaeda, led by Ayman al-Zawahiri, (r.), emerging as sworn enemies.

Syria’s bloody civil war has spawned a separate rift with ramifications well beyond the region known as the Levant -- a battle for the very soul of the global jihad movement.

Islamic militants who poured into the embattled nation to help the Free Syrian Army in its bid to topple dictator Bashar Assad are now fighting Assad, the rebels and each other in a barbaric free-for-all. At the center is the split between Al Qaeda’s regional affiliate, Jabhat al-Nusra, and the newly emerged Islamic State, which are fighting each other on the battlefield and in the war for recruits to the cause of Islamic terrorism.


“The two groups are now in an open war for supremacy of the global jihadist movement,” according to Middle East scholar Aaron Zelin in a research paper published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a U.S.-based think tank.

Throw in the jihadist-led insurgency in neighboring Iraq, which has become intertwined in the insurrection in Syria, and the shifting alliances are becoming for many even harder to understand.

There is no EVIDENCE that he was in 'surrender mode'.  That is purely wishful thinking on your part.

You are  judgmental , and a biased, whilt-guilt driven, intolerant bigot.

I'll donate to your one-way transportation, provided you sign a waiver that you will never return.

No you sit on the oil bases and as long as that is given you dont give a damn when people kill themselves there. These sunnits try to fool people. The truth is they hate, shia, kurds or turkmen more than the jews. Thats why they dont move a finger while the heads roll. Free men gather in the region to bring an end to these barbarians. What will be supported next to destabilize the region?

I see. So you and yours get to decide how I die simply because you have the majority vote? Majority votes supercede any personal rights, or just the right to die as one chooses to? That sounds awfully risky to me when you might someday not be in the majority. I suspect then you'd scream to the world about how no one else should decide how and when you die. How about we ban all use of any painkiller, even on a deathbed, that to ANY degree will hasten one's death? Is that fine with you, so I could not take the "easy way" out? FYI, drugs like morphine already are commonly used in every state for what amounts to doctor assisted suicide at the end stages of cancer, etc. So it still amounts to suicide, but unfortunately only after the person has had to endure great suffering that could have been avoided if our laws gave better protection to the doctors.

Does your dirty work? What the hell is dirty about wanting to end one's OWN suffering? Approval of the village??? I would not give a damn about approval of the village if I wanted a mercy suicide. Easy way out?? Easy? Oh yeah, killing yourself, or dying slowly from horrible natural causes should not be easy, but rather should be the hard way out, huh?!! Are you at all trying to be objective about this? It sounds religion-driven to me, and that is fine for yourself if that is what you want, but you have no right to impose that upon me.

So, someone who barely has the ability to bring his fingers to his mouth must also always have the ability to get out of bed? Absurd. FYI, the person assisting sets everything up, and the person only has to do what he is able to do, such as press a button. It is the person's decision to proceed or not.

You are the one manipulating the meaning of words to try to advance your argument. It is not murder. It is not euthanasia. The person wanting to die is the person who does the killing in assisted suicide. The doctor or other person merely provides the pill or other means by which the person may kill himself. The main benefit in this is that someone with a hopeless disease or condition can DELAY killing himself past the point where he could do it all by himself. The assisted suicide laws actually prolong his life. Now tell me what is wrong with that. Tell me, do you really want to have a law that prevents a person who wants to die via assisted suicide from doing so? What gives you, or even the majority of voters, the right to deny him that choice?

please confirm thanks

Sure. Here is a link:

This is from the Pew Research Center so I hardly think that it is suspect.

The rest of the unauthorized migrant population, somewhat more than half, entered the country illegally.Some evaded customs and immigration inspectors at ports of entry by hiding in vehicles such as cargo trucks.Others trekked through the Arizona desert, waded across the Rio Grande or otherwise eluded the U.S. Border Patrol which has jurisdiction over all the land areas away from the ports of entry on the borders with Mexico and Canada.

.....for me it wouldn't be so much the pain that I wanted to escape, but I would absolutely hate to become a burden on my family. The minute I could not take care of myself...my life would not be worth living. Life is not wasting away in a bed...not mine anyway.

It doesn't matter to me which court is used to deport illegals as long as it happens. 55% of illegals hopped the border. They are criminals. As for those that entered legally and did not leave when they were supposed to - if this act was premeditated then they are criminals.
That makes it accurate to call the vast majority of illegal aliens criminals.

It's been a couple of years since I've stated my position.

For the record....

I have no problem beleiving in something that is currently beyond my education when it come to a "god-like force" in the universe.

I have a big problem with religious/ superstious idiots who believe thier religious bullshit supercedes empiricle science.

If he "saw" something during his "research", then he should be able to follow the Scienefitc Method and demonstrate the data using such means.

Where is it?  If it's there, I would like to see it as well!  I have an open mind. If there is proof positive for your "creator", I want to see it.
