Energy independence, fiscal responsibility, true political leadership and letting the marketplace weed out inefficient companies. And banning autotune. I'm tired of hacks in politics and music. |

I'd allow Iran is problematic. Explain to me why there have no significant Islamist terrorist incidents in France and Germany. |

Olbermann just had a guest on tonight. She says the tea parties are all about Racism. Rednecks hating on a black man in the White House. Keith was gushing.
(the guest was Janeane Garofalo.) |

While the idea that the sole ideas behind the tea parties was racism is pretty ridiculous, but one would be fooling themselves if they didn't think that racism wasn't at least one factor (whether it be towards President Obama himself or other minorities) in more than a few peoples' minds. Just take a look at some of the signs posted in this thread.

The response TO would have prevented the ATTACK?
Yes, a time machine would be nice. Maybe that's where the stimulous money should go... Anyone have a Deloreon? |

yeah, but if you go back in time and prevent the attacks then you don't get the opportunity in the future to go back in time and prevent the attacks, thus the attacks still happen, except if they happen you can go back in time to prevent them, but that means you won't be able to go back in time to prevent them, thus they'll happen anyway, which means you can go back in time to prevent them, and so on.
come on people, don't we understand basic time travel principles in fym? |

I'm happy that Obama will continue to support smashing what's left of the Taliban. Their executions of women and acid bombings of girl students piss me off. The success or failure of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will be based on how much the infrastructure is complete before NATO & the "Coalition of the willing leave". If the institutions are not adopted in the long run then the reconstruction part of the war will be a failure. Bush's example, Japan, was already industrializing before the U.S. reconstructed over there so having a population that is interested in these changes makes it easier. It's a hard sell that all humans, regardless of culture background, want democracies and the question is still up in the air. I personally think that once a generation gets the habit for education institutions and democracy they will want to keep it. When the U.S. pulls out they will still need to have close ties with Iraq and Afghanistan in case Iran and Pakistan get naughty with them. |

The Taliban weren't and aren't "smashed," just pushed across the border where they can destabilize a nuclear state instead, which they're currently doing quite effectively, and not just in the northwest anymore either.

They used to run Afghanistan. I don't think that's an unimportant feat. The war isn't over yet and Pakistan poses a motivation problem but we will have to be patient and wait until the increase in troops get to the region. Pakistan is unstable with or without the Taliban.

I didn't say that was unimportant, but "motivation problem" doesn't even begin to describe how grave the situation in Pakistan has the potential to become. Previous "instability" would pale in comparison to a Taliban-driven revolution, which while far from likely is looking a lot more possible than it did two years ago.
But, this is getting off-topic. |

Rush told you Obama wants to cut military spending, how dare he, oh my!!! The proposed cuts are mostly in future nuclear weapon development. You honestly think anyone is thinking "the U.S. doesn't have enough to hurt us, now that they stopped we got them right where we want them." |
