Only a coward president hustles off to Louisiana, then Nebraska when the country is under attack in Washington D.C. and New York.

How about this: You make the policies; you take the fall? When our "leaders" have something more than cramped fingers from writing to families of dead soldiers at stake, perhaps they'll think twice before crushing the rights of people in their own and in other countries.

What he is describing is nothing new. It happened wit the Japanese and Germans right before WW2. Right up to the day of the attack, US corporations were shipping obviously strategic resources bound to be used in the military machines of both soon-to-be belligerent countries. Even during the war there were instances of corporate 'cooperation' between the IG Farben company (which used slave labor - that was worked literally to death - from all over occupied Europe, letting the SS be their jailor/executioners, and had developed the Zyklon B gas used in the death camps) and Standard Oil of Indiana.

All while Americans were busily involved in fighting, killing and being killed by Germans.

And during the Gulf War, we were feeding Saddam’s people while we were killing them. Now, does that make sense?

What to do? In one comment I posted at my own site (http://demoss.org), I suggested assassination as a new military policy. I have also heard it mentioned from some of the talking heads. The gist of my argument was that it's easier to try to protect a small group of our leaders in a world dominated by assassination than it is to protect our borders in a world dominated by war. Also, when it's their own lives on the line, I think government leaders would be more cautious in their foreign policy.

Incidentally, this same concept has been given an odd twist by a man named Jim Bell, who is now in jail for threatening an ATF agent who was following him. He was being followed because of publishing his ideas, which he calls "Assassination Politics." He was considered too much of a threat to just let him wander around "unaccompanied." I'm NOT advocating his concept, but it makes interesting reading (http://zolatimes.com/v2.26/jimbell.htm).

If you tried to infiltrate Bin Laden's crowd looking like a Wall Street banker, I think the odds of success are limited; don't you agree?

I am no different than most folks around the world except for those to choose to hate. I want evidence. I want proof and known accusers of those who may be charge with a crime that killed thousands. But not at the expense of liberty or freedom. So Yahoo had to give up all the email addresses? Is it just a wanton witch hunting?

Also, someone posted about looking like the anti's to gain their confidence. I can't remember just who posted it, cause, you know, I'm budded. When we legalize, can we go back to looking the way we did before? Or would that be considered treasonous? Could we toke, but only if we wear our hair short and a suit or collared shirt and slacks? And, would they be able to toke and wear tie-dyes, too? Or would the dress code be STRICKLY inforced?

I'm just kidding. I understand where you are coming from. Just trying out dddd's reasoning. LOL.

They fight for God. We fight for God. Who's side will God be on?

GCW, Cannabisnews welcomes ALL peace loving people, I think. Besides, there are quite a few Christians among us. And also people who are just spiritual, and not necesarily organized. After all, there IS only one God, and if we be for him, then we cannot be against him. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. :)

In Scandinavian myth, trolls are ugly, malicious creatures and the enemies of mankind. They are much bigger and stronger than humans, and leave their caves only after dark to hunt. If they are exposed to sunlight they will instantly turn to stone. Trolls are very fond of human flesh. In later myths they are roughly the size of humans or elves, and thought to be the owners of buried treasures. They are sometimes, although very rarely, portrayed as friendly, less ugly creatures.

I thought there was a lack of truth, which is causeing this mess and the mess before this mess. The war on drugs, war for profit, war against citizens, war on some drugs is based on certified deceit. ---------------------------- FoM, also, I think you have put up posts that are contrary to our view, and wish for you to continue allowing the opposing view. It may be real rude stuff that does not make it, which to some extent shall be allowed, but not the totally rude stuff.

I absalutely love this place. It is really calm, and full of good manners. This is home. I preach my Christian views and no one attacks me over it.

For Christians, make note: there is much talk of God, but it is mostly with out Christ, which IS the Holy Example, of nothing less that peace, love, compassion, mercy etc. It seems that God with out Christ, is difficult for people to contain, which is why the example of Christ is important. Then make note, through Christ we get the Holy Spirit of Truth, and that is a promise.

I benifit by all the perspective from all of you, keep them coming, keep your smile, and keep helping bring an end to the war on drugs, as perpatraited by our own government agianst its own citizens.

Question: If Bush is really a believer of God, why does he spend so much money to fight Gods words on the very 1st page of the Bible? Could it be that lack of Christ?

He is a Skull and Bones man, right? They are not believers of Christ, right? Again what is a person that believes in God, but not Christ? Both sides of the terrorism war.

We turned on the program. Thanks

Also, can only registered (or unregistered as I have not yet figured out if green and underlined means registered or if red no underline means registered) names set it up so their posts have the "reply friendly" feature?

Thanks,

PS: I swear I heard on tv but could be wrong that the Taliban has around 4,000,000 Militia. If I heard that right that's alot and I think they might need to activate the draft because I believe we have over a million plus troops but there again I'm not sure. I hope others write things like I heard so we know. The news is moving so fast, as far as war goes, that it will take our village to keep up. I'm apologizing if my figures aren't correct in advance.

Walk softly and carry a big freakin' stick, i suppose. Oh,
and bitch and moan when the chickens come home to
roost. Don't take that wrong. Most of the sheeple just do
not have a clue as to what is really going on. As
exemplified thusly...

Did Clinton give the Taliban any money?

They agreed to ban opium farming when Clinton was still in office, so the Clinton administration must have given them SOMETHING.

So what did Clinton give them?
