Vote To Impeach Bush!!

LOL!

You are SO ignorant.

So, no Brits died in it, or were involved in it, or were affected by it?

Btw, On a personal note, I work for Lloyds of London, and knew dozens of brokers, underwriters and insurance staffers who died in it. Some I would have considered friends.

Yes Isis. When certain folks say that Americas are "fucking paranoid" when they come to visit, then they don't understand the reasons behind our behavior. As such, they need to be educated.

I know Europeans understand being attacked, which also makes me wonder why so many don't see the value in stomping out enemies before they strike you. Just like the French and English which saw Germany in violation of their WWI treaty and did nothing about. Chamberlain actually signed a treaty with Hitler not to attack. What did Hitler do? Laugh in the Dumb Brits face and built more tanks, planes, and ships, and then attacked once they were near full strength. Remember Dunkirk? Thats what happens when you ignore your enemies and wave peace flowers around...

Then you can understand why we are paranoid. So don't act like we are wrong for giving you the 3rd degree when you come to America.

I'm from Northern Virginia and the Pentagon was down the road... Sorry, but NYC needs to share.

How come NYC and Washington DC --sight of the attacks of 9-11 overwhelmingly voted to oust Bush from office?

Perhaps it's YOU who doesn't understand, Alby.

The UK has long dealt with terrorist attacks and in fact was far better equiped before 911 than the US is presently.

How about Israel? They've been telling the US for years that what happened in NYC was a real possibility. They live with it every day.

On a more recent note: Did you forget about what just happened in Spain?

Or in Russia at a grammar school?

To say that someone outside of the US could not understand vicious terrorist attack is incredably arrogant.

Then perhaps you might wish to share with London. I hear they had the shit bombed out of them not too long ago.

If I'm the Arrogant one, then explain to me why this European is saying that Americans are too Paranoid? As if we shouldn't be so crazed and let our guard down? Lemme requote the remark for you:

Um, no. I really can't. The argument makes about as much sense as the one the UK is using to bring in compulsory ID cards under the guise of terrorism prevention.

That is true, but the democracy was limited to citizens, i.e. men, who typically owned lots of property and slaves, and kept the family women in strict isolation. When democracy is restricted to a certain demographic then you have an oligarchy or perhaps a theocracy.

The new order of the day in the 21st century is you have a right to privacy. You don't have a right to anonymity.

huh? I don't remember asking to be anonymous? I would just like to not be treated like a criminal because of knee jerk paranoia.

You've got a better idea on weeding out the Terrorist from the 99.999999% of the population? Maybe you'd like Terrorist to register with the Government before conducting a war against the people.

I was gonna post the exact same sentiment
Everytime some asshole newscaster said the word "re-elected" I screamed at the TV.....He was NOT re-elected, he just managed to somehow rig the vote to get elected for the first time in 2004, after being selected in 2000!!!!!

Needless to say, my 11 year old daughter runs to change the channel every time the Shrub's face flashes on our TV.

You can call me a traitor but comparing 9/11 with WWII is just dolt. Yes we were attacked from the inside though not from the outside. You forget that those who commited the attacks were in the US on educational and work visas, renting condos, obtaining drivers lisences and training at flight schools. Short of closing down the borders completely and sending home any and everyone who is in the country on visas or illegally, we will never be fully protected. And you know what, I am not willing to pay the costs which that sort of safety will inccur. The ultimate cost will be my freedom. The world is not against us. A very vocal minority has planned attacks against the US. The perpatrators of 9/11 are not elusive, they are not an unknown evil. They are the Mujahadeed. We know who they are and where they are and all other attacks on any other country not related directly to the Mujahadeed are criminal attacks which make the American government look like the blood brothers of the enemy (which considering our ties to Saudi Arabia that may not be far from the truth). I thought that the whole purpose of this war was to make the middle east more like America not to make America more like the Mujahadeed. I am sorry that I do not want to have to show my papers before crossing the county line.

And that's precisely the argument AGAINST these measures being pushed on the rest of us too! Well done for spotting it.

Sorry, but Florida voted for Bush in 2000 and confirmed that in 2004 by re-electing Bush.

Well you can't sit back an do nothing. IDs now.. Whats the deal? No different than a drivers license or a passport.

Actually it's been proven that Gore won Florida in 2000.

Read this article originally posted in the Washington Post on January 27th, 2001

This is a fact that no reputable news source denies.

It is very different and being considered in the US as well. Just to break it down for you a passport is for the purpose of international travel and not a required form of ID, a drivers lisence is a state ID and also not required by national law but most states do require some form of Identification such as a state ID. A national ID system is a different monster all together and will do little but further erode states rights and personal privacy. The national government should have little direct influence over the everyman which is why untill recently there were only 3 prosecutable federal crimes, all other issues are the concern of the seperate states. I would suggest re-reading the constitution.

There is no organized terrorist movement". Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh. This is all psy-ops to keep you scared. I can't believe people are stilling falling for this hooey.

The Washington Post, that liberal paper is more hardcore than CBS.

So what do you call a Social Security Number? LOL -- Everybody has one, as such, its a form of ID to track you.

They do so to justify their own racist and xenophobic ideals.

Yeah.. Lets get rid of the TSA at the airports. There's no terrorist out to attack Americans. We are all crazy and should welcome all visitors with open arms and no questions asked.
