have to come back to the "pathetic" people of the US. Again, this isn't WWII. You are not defending anyone's right to be anything. Naja pallida An honest question: What part of our Constitution is defended by our current wars? Which part is defended by having our military deployed all over the world, draining our treasury and sticking our nose where it has no business being, while millions of people right here in our country go homeless, go hungry, and suffer on a daily basis... and that's not even factoring in natural disasters and the economic cesspool we're drowning in -- this was the case before Bush tanked the economy. While I'm glad you didn't vote for either war monger, none of our current Presidential candidates, of any party, have any real military experience. They're all career politicians and/or lawyers. Minor party candidates tend to have a more sane stance on the military than either major party... but the chances of them being able to make a serious impact are slim, if not entirely impossible. This election third party candidates have been entirely ignored, and not even part of the discussion, even by sources that generally try to be more inclusive. Jim Olson Careful Naja.  Asking questions like that is likely to get you disappeared. Naja pallida Being disappeared would probably be better than another four years of Republicans intentionally making everyone in this country suffer, while they're cheered on by people too ignorant to know any better. ollywoodstein Anonymouse
