Food for Thought: PHOTO ID'S ARE SOLUTION TO PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T EXIST -- (Cynthia Tucker, editorial page editor for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.) Republican leaders have discovered a grave threat to American democracy that most of us apparently had not noticed: Everywhere, in big states and small, red enclaves and blue, bustling metropolises and rural hamlets, impostors are flocking to

Lew: You didn't mention that Jimmy Carter went to Venezuela a couple of years ago to "validate" Hugo Chavez' election. One has to wonder what Carter got from Chavez for his "assistance" there. Maybe the IRS should look into that.

"To me, the major problems are caused by the radical hardline Islamic groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda, and such. Hamas now has a chance to become a mainstream non-radical group, but only time will tell if they accept the responsibility.By and large, I still feel the main source of friction towards the US is our support for Israel, just my "biased" opinion ;)"I can't disagree with that, lew

r, the Middle East is a very complicated area. For whatever reason, they feel the land is theirs and theirs alone, making it 'sacred.' That I recall, they would wish no one they consider an "infidel" to set foot on it, but seem to make concessions when they receive money.So far, I haven't found much reference to any hostility between the Arabs and the US prior to our backing the formation of the

lew, firstly, thanks for your write up.That said, when reading your (what I consider to be rather slanted) take on the background of the modern terrorist, would you agree with me aside of our relationship with Israel, that opposition to U.S. presence is the overwhelming "tie that binds?"And please understand, I am in no way trying to justify the actions of such murderous thugs that are better

Meanwhile, international envoys have found that the torture situation in Iraq is at least as bad and possibly worse than it was during the reign of Saddam Hussein. The notion that we have "liberated" Iraq now seems somewhat disingenuous. Regardless of our ideals, the United States has apparently managed to make a bad situation worse than it was. Given that, what is the difference?

Okay, if you look back to 1979, when Jimmuh Cahtah was misleading the nation and crying about HUman Rights everywhere, we had just came out of the embarrassment of the Democrats forcing up to retreat from the victory we had going on in Viet Nam. Add to that the Democrats had successfully gotten back at Nixon over his push for the prosecution and imprisonment of Alger Hiss in 1948, so the country

"Have you read the books that this game was based of off. If you have than you would know there is a BIG difference between the two games !"You're absolutely correct, in strict regards to game play storyline. However in substance, both games incite mock violence against a belief, ideology, or group of people that you would disagree with, be it secular or religious. In one game you kill

To add to Joe's statement:If Muslim's do not believe in violence then why are they not out on the streets protesting the actions of the "extreme" Muslims?

iknow:Every time Muslims as a group get offended over being called violent, they respond with LOTS OF GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE. "Don't call us violent or we'll gun down a nun in the street! Don't remind everyone that our scripture orders us to spread our faith by the sword, or we will behead you!" On the other hand, slap some elephant shit on a painting of the Virgin Mary, and Christians will shake

Crackpot, "that Iranian feller" and those like him would garner ALL the votes. If they acheive power, you will have only one choice to vote for.I don't care what Jimmuh says, many of these third world elections are pure shams.

Are you sure that's your final answer? Then why don't you knuckleheads start acting like you belong in the same country? For goodness' sake these people don't like us because we're *us*! They don't like secularism, pluralism, homosexuality, voting rights, mixed marriages, most everything we allow in this country. Get on board in the war against Islamofascists! You've got a stake in it too.

What kind of choice is that? You call this a poll? That's like asking if I'd rather get kicked in the nuts or jabbed in the eye with a sharp stick. Okay, I'll bite. George W. would be my choice hands down, but that Iranian feller would probably garner fewer votes than Lyndon LaRouche.

Victoria,You constantly sarcastically include "the religion of peace" when mentioning Islam.Is it your position, then, that ALL Muslims are violent?I just want to be clear.
