[UC] Time to withdraw the troops

It is time to withdraw US troops from Indonesia! The Bush Administration is working hard to spin the crash of a Seahawk helicopter from the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in Banda Aceh today as a "mechanical failure." This despite the fact that, as reported by CBS News, "The crash came am

Re: [UC] Time to withdraw the troops

Doesn't this rationale also apply to the situation in Iraq? At least I can see the reason that troops are risking their lives in Indonesia. This was a disaster of epic proportions and one for the ages. Lots of people need help. However, this nebulous rationale of bringing Democracy to the Iraqi

Last year, I commented about the obviously disturbed Penn Student who seemed bent on advertising here divorced-single-mother-grad-student life on evry bulleting board in Philly as possible. Someone forwarded this link to me, and I thought it made an amusing follow-up. http://personals.yahoo.com/

As far as I can tell, most of the Islamic world has been governed by Sultanates and Caliphates throughout their history. Their society has traditionally been strictly socially structured and their politics intertwined with their religion. Iraq (known before as Mesopotamia), considers itself the c

I find this message rather disturbing. While I may or may not agree as to this student's choices in the methodology of finding friends and partners, I find it unacceptable that you have chosen to make fun of someone so publicly without even knowing this person. I happen to recall the time you

Don't you think you are carrying this a bit too far and attributing your argument to things I have not said. The United States system of Democracy was adapted from the English system of Government. Instead of King, we elect a President. The Bi-Cameral House Structure was adapted from Parliament:

I am well aware that all Arabs are not alike. I also understand that in 1979 when the Iranian students took US citizens hostage in Tehran, that they were labeled radical Shiite Muslims by the US government. Now the self-same Shiites are in as dire need of help as the Tsunami victims in Indonesia

Brian, My posts were not to criticize the Bush Administration, per se. Just to point out another point of view based upon the history of the Moslem World, and their view of the Western World; especially since 1492 when they were forced from Europe. I would never underestimate the capabilities of

First, I would suggest you read "The English People On The Eve of Colonization (1603-1630)" by Wallace Notestein © 1954 Oxford University Press. This volume spells out exactly how the English were before the English went up against Spain and colonized the New World and how they proceeded to gain t
