You have nothing to fear from immigration.

The Roman Empire lost its culture and slowly faded into the distance largely do to Germanic tribesmen immigrating to the Empire.

That is pure b.s. while it is true the roman empire fell it fell gradually over a long period of time and it wasn't because of barbarian immagration. The main reason Rome lost its culture because the "Pax Romana" made life so good most of the romanized people that the roman army had to start to use people who were not romanized in there army. They were the often the barbians that invaded Roman so rome screwed itself

The wars it had played a part but Rome would have recovered, if it had still been Rome.

Also the many bad empires destroy the roman's economy and debased the currency, also Diocletian tied people to the land and roman lost its ability to adapt to its life

The Barabrians saw no reason to have or use the great achievements of The Empire, like Roads, Bath Houses, Barbers, Ampitheaters, The Senate, Aqueducts, Trade, Unified Currency, in short everything that made Rome what it was.

They still used the baths, Aqueducts, roads there even still in use today all over Europe but only the most Romanized people had lots of roads and Aqueducts and with the fall a huge body of information was lost and the wealth needed to maintain the infracture did not exist

Since it was no longer used eventually people forgot.

Also the eastern Roman empire lasted till the 1400's so Roman technailly did not fall till after a milliena

While its true Israel didn't start this war its response to a hostage crisis was way out of porportion. The bombing of Lebenon has gone on to long. After the first three days it should have stopped. Hezbollah would have to have been disarmed by the Lebananese government. The number one debate in Lebenon was whether to disarm Hezbollah but now I fear Israel just decided the debate in Hezbollah's favor

Considering that Russia has doubled is GDP in the last 6 years and continues to grow at 7% year. Incomes have increased, standard of living has increased, and poverty is beginning to go down. I can easily say with this information that Russia is not on the decline.

Easy to do when the russian economy simply collapsed. Russia is at least a 100 years from superpower status. Economicly Gazprom one of the largest oil companies in the world has a reputation that is worse then Enron. And this is one of the biggest and best Russian countries

Three years ago the Taliban operated in squad sized units. Last year they operated in company sized units (100 or more men). This year the Taliban are operating in battalion-sized units (400-plus men). So reported retired Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey, professor of international affairs at West Point, after his second trip to Afghanistan to assess the balance of forces.
The former Clinton administration drug czar and commander of the 24th Infantry Division in the Gulf war, Gen. McCaffrey concluded that in the last three years, Taliban has reconstituted the obscurantist movement that took Afghanistan back to the Middle Ages in the 1990s. "They are brutalizing the population," said the general's written report, "and they are now conducting a summer-fall campaign to knock NATO out of the war, capture the provincial capital of Kandahar, isolate the Americans, stop the developing Afghan educational system, stop the liberation of women, and penetrate the new police force and Afghan National Army (ANA)."
Taliban now have "excellent weapons" and "new field equipment" -- prized by the equipment-poor ANA -- and "new IED [improvised explosive devices] technology and commercial communications," Gen. McCaffrey said. "They appear to have received excellent tactical, camouflage and marksmanship training," and "they are very aggressive and smart in their tactics."
"The Afghan Army is miserably underresourced," the report concluded. "This is now a major morale factor for their soldiers. They have shoddy small arms -- described by Defense Minister [Abdul Rahim] Wardak as much worse than he had as a Mujahideen fighting the Soviets 20 years ago.
"Afghan field commanders told me they try to seize weapons from the Taliban who they believe are much better armed. ... [They] have little ammo... no mortars, few machine guns, no MK19 grenade guns, and no artillery... no helicopter or fixed transport or attack aviation now or planned ... no body armor... no Kevlar helmets... no light armored wheeled vehicles."
The Afghan National Police is even worse off than the army: "They are in a disastrous condition, badly equipped, corrupt, incompetent, poorly led and trained, riddled by drug use and lacking any semblance of ... infrastructure."
Gen. McCaffrey didn't mince words about Pakistan's links with Taliban: "Their base areas in Pakistan are secure." Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf hotly denies what is undeniable. But Gem/ McCaffrey counters, "Pakistan is an active sanctuary for the Taliban and is struggling against the 'Talibanization' of their side of the frontier. ... Pakistani madrassas [Koranic schools] continue to get the very bright sons of the Afghan rural areas because of poverty and lack of a proper Afghan educational system."
Gen. McCaffrey said there were two obstacles on the unmarked Pakistani-Afghan border. First of all, the border -- a long, 1,400-mile line through deserts and mountains that peak at 15,000 feet -- does not exist. A British colonial official and an Afghan king drew an arbitrary line on a map in 1893 and agreed it would be the border for the next 100 years. The Pashtun tribes are the same on both sides.
Second, the Pakistani army has lost some 700 men killed and several thousand wounded while trying to establish control over its Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) where Taliban and al Qaeda call the shots among tribal fundamentalists.
Recently, some 400 tribal leaders held a jirga in North Waziristan with Mr. Musharraf's representative and demanded dismantling of all army checkpoints and return all troops to their base camp. Mr. Musharraf's answer was to move 10,000 additional troops to FATA, for a total of 90,000.
Taliban will soon adopt a strategy of "waiting us out," Gen. McCaffrey predicted. Anyone who has spent any time in Afghanistan in recent years says, "Afghans know the foreigners will leave sooner or later and Taliban is here to stay." That was why Gen. McCaffrey recommended a firm, irrevocable minimum of 10- to 15-year U.S. and NATO commitment to see Afghanistan locked in to a democratic future.
Arrayed against a resurgent Taliban, Gen. McCaffrey says, "We have a very, very small U.S. military presence [17,000 troops] in a giant and dangerous land which is one-third larger than Iraq [the size of Texas]. U.S. forces face thousands of heavily armed Taliban as well as pervasive criminal and Warlord forces. ... Afghanistan is awash with weapons. Taliban suicide bombings and IEDs are now constant and rapidly growing in intensity and effectiveness."

Well we haven't caught Bin Laden. And the taliban is posed to take back Afghanistan. What is going on here the people who were responisible for 9/11 are still free and gaining power, we haven't finished the job and then we left

Amazing it came down to a single vote though. But honestly, how prevalent is flag burning anymore anyway? I thought it had pretty much gone out of style as a means of protest.

Where were these weapons found? In the buried in the desert or the former weapons production factories? That makes all the difference.

When the Executive is commanding those below him to defy a Supreme Court decision, I begin to see flashes of the old Jacksonian method of "No one is going to tell ME what to do." Regardless of WHY he did it, it clashes with the separation of powers. The Executive can't just ignore Supreme Court decisions it dislikes.

But he can say how he wants to use it and how he wants it to be used by those under him that is what eminent domain did.

The Executive order is telling setting policy on how the departments under executive branch are to use eminent domain. Bush can do as he is the head of the executive branch. He didn't break any law nor did he subvert the supreme court. The local and state governments can use it how they see fit and also all the departments not under the control of the executive branch are not bound by the order. It just happens to be the fact that most of the departments are under the exuctive branch.

Ice-9 your post makes some interesting points the most interesting one about the iran-iraq war but a good test would be to run the raw data through some statical analzes

but in Iraq unlike Chernobyl people weren't evacuted and radioative(sp) particles are known to concentrate in plants and animals. If most people had drank milk harvested from radioative cows and had eaten food from radioative plants it is possible over time the exposer could have increased

The truth is that most AIDS victims have engaged in high risk behaviours. Not all, but most. The same thing goes for bypass surgeries for stupid fat people that eat at McDonalds every day and treatments for smokers that experience heart failure or lung cancer. I wish I could be put in a different tier of healthcare like the "People that don't intentionally screw themselves up" tier. It would probably be cheaper.

America spends more money on admistration cost then healthcare. Its true that HMO more money disqualifing people then treating them

Terrorism from Hamas and so on, is wrong, but in the end, a modern well funded army is fighting really against a whole population. Of course they're going to retaliate with home made rockets etc.

But Palestine could have taken the peacefull route and launched massive peaceful protest that America would have to recognized and would have gained world sympathy that would force Israel to accept defeat. Sucide bombers exploding in market places killing kids and women is no way to show that you are honest

People will die on both sides, unfairly and injustly, and yes, America won't recognise a democratically elected Government. Speaks volumes for their nation building and 'democract' question in Iraq.

What if this government(Hamas) vows to wipe another soveriegn nation off the map

the world is bleeding :(

But she could have been more tactful.

they won't they would kill them selfs if they Bombed Iran and vise versa. With the US now at the table Iran will disarm
