Well, if it saves 265 people per week...and for now its temporary, whats the hurt in having them there. As far as being ignorant, everyone is entitled to there own views, but name calling on a blog, is pretty pointless isnt it? Put that energy into getting our government into seeing that our own people need more help, and stop them from sending billions over seas and giving billions in freebies to illegals here on our own turf, while our own elderly, disabled and lower income CITIZENS are denied proper health care, medications, heat and food. 60% of our LEGAL population is living below poverty levels, we really need to start getting the message to our so called leaders, that we need to start taking care of our own, instead of everywhere else.

Will Afghanistan be able to survive after the Democrats surrender in Iraq?

The current proposed legislation that is headed for Bush desk is not the end to the Iraq war. It is political grandstanding on part of the new congress.If the congress truly wanted to leave Iraq they would have the necessary votes and would halt funding with no strings attached. As the bill itself does not have the necessary votes and has conditions upon the funding it will be vetoed and the congress will eventually give the President what he wants. Have you seen increase support for the bill in congress from its original concept?

"Take a historical look at the history of walls that divide groups and name one that is effective long term and united the groups."

----------------------

The Berlin Wall united Germany by keeping East-West European political systems from killing one another before cooler heads prevailed.

The problem is that Democrats don't seem to mind mass killings. They sat back and did nothing while Europe was exterminating its Jewish population; they sat back and did nothing while 2 MILLION Cambodians were being slaughtered ...

The "ignorant" stuff seems to be "towed in" from your side of the street.
You seem like the type who would be happy to have a right wing religious dictatorship here in our country.
