Saddam gets to hang.

Unfortunately what you do on your property affects the rest of the neighborhood and the resale value of the other homes.

Note - I requested that we keep the personal barbs for that "special" thread where we can abuse one another - but you have chosen to keep making personal attacks in these threads as well and so I will respond.

Flatery will get you know where.


Sounds like you and your neighbors practice alot of discrimination. So i think your metaphor is prejudice.
Would you quote me where you think a made a personal attack? The first was a question, the others are facts are they not?
I guess the ignore button wouldn't of worked even if you coulda used it?

belief in the sanctity of human life.

I believe it is particularly important to analyze Saddam’s execution carefully to see if it can be justified morally or legally.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (sec. 2267) states that the only time Church teaching permits the use of the death penalty is where the “execution of the offender is an absolute necessity,” because it is “the only possible way of defending human lives against the unjust aggressor.”

“practically nonexistent.”

That said, why then did the Church counsel against Saddam’s execution, and afterwards describe it as “tragic news” and “a cause for sadness?”

Wonder what his view on abortion is?

People that understand body language say that body language (subconscious actions) does not lie. If the body language says one thing and the verbal language says another then believe the body language.

The body language issue is just one issue.

That's a lot of ball!!!
Do you know that man what kind of problems face everyday since the Iraq War? I mean everybody always talk about Iraq and the Iraquis ..it seems so hypocritical! What about americans who died on 9/11 and soldiers that face threats on daily basis from those poor armed not so innocent iraquis. all of you defend so much?

The other reason that I have lost faith in Bush and the NeoCon attack on Iraq is the fact that in order to change society you need to give people economic incentives. Think of this - if you put a 42" Plasma into each home - how many of the youngsters would be out on the streets causing problems? Please note - I use the Plasma TV as a metaphor for greater economic issues.If Iraqis started getting jobs and "having something to lose" then they themselves would fight to stop the violence.

Are you kidding me? America has done enough, already by creating a new scenario, a liberal governament that can grow and expand in a new direction; it is up to them now to build a new era, give people hope and something to look forward to...\

Bush did not follow through with the economic stimulus and for that reason I fear that he might actually want instability in Iraq. If so then what is his REAL agenda. The agenda that he is not telling us about.

He seems to be a hardcore Catholic, so I'd guess he's against it.

His argument, from his legal point of view, is that we not only allowed the
execution to happen but went out of way to make it happen, illegally.

From what I read, international law violated at will. No surprise there. We stopped being a nation of laws the day Bush took office.

Thank you NeoCons.:cool:

They like making their own rules.

Presidential signings are at record level, and you try to tell me congress approved of it.
