Do you think if Democrats take over the office of President and  Senate we will become weak like France?

America will always remain what it is a great place for business and a haven for free thinking, there will be hardships along the way but no chaos like in other countries, I do pray for you.

Yes most definitely! I think history will judge the president very badly as well as those who elected him -once.Too bad this will be another case of the Democrats missing a chance to say something to the people about what is really GOING ON. I think maybe we should all consider a new party to represent us...the non millionaires and non granolas.

It is impossible to empower a government over a disenfranchised people.\n\nAt the end of World War II, the Allies placed new leadership over Japan and Germany, however both had long-standing histories of centralized government.\n\nIn Iraq, and indeed the entire Middle East, the differences in religious beliefs are tantamount to differences in race or identity.\n\nIt is very unlikely that a democratically-elected government will be able to control the population. To draw a parallel: how would the US citizens feel if France invaded, replaced the government, when they went to vote? Would they feel that the candidates were fair? Would they feel that the candidate was "one of them" or in collusion with the invading forces? What about if the situation were reversed?\n\nWith all that, the US is likely to quickly hand over to Iraq control of their country. I expect that we will enhance the speed of our training of the Iraqi police and armed forces, then walk away within the next couple of years (before the next major elections.) Shortly thereafter, the government will be overthrown and Iraq will disintegrate along religious or ethnic boundaries.

If they cut funds, expect a body count double the current.  We are barely accomplishing mission with what we have there now.  Cut funding and the Democrats will have killed many Soldiers.  \n\nI pray it does not happen.  If it does, the Dems are going to have blood on their hands...the'll prob blame it on Bush though...

Gosh, if you don't the Democrats will allow nuclear weapons to prolifterate to war mongering countries such as Iran and N Korea, they'll run up record federal deficits, and start another unjust quagmire war like Vietnam!!

In my opinion, no.  Those people have been ruled by force for thousands of years.  The strong man will always come in and take power.  Its just the way things are done there.  Perhaps we will establish democracy for a few years, perhaps a decade, but it will eventually revert to dictatorship.

No, actually B. B, the move to the center will help the country, I see a future now and the last 6 years I saw none. Just more war and more restrictions of our freedoms. I think this will be guarded better with the moderate democrats then it was with the moderate repuglicans.

That all depends on what faction of power you are speaking of. If you are talking about militarily it will be a long time before we are surpassed. If you are talking about technology and economy we are already going to the weak side. Asian countries are more disciplined and work harder for what they have and the work ethics here in America are terrible. People want a free ride and that will be our demise. Our goverment should not have to be the driving force behind our economy and style of life. When and if people start taking responibility for their actions and work hard again this country will turn around. Until then we will continue to fall apart at the seams that once made our country strong.

It would be as big a farce as the impeachment of Clinton was.\n\nIf Democrats are dumb enough to try it, let them.  Republicans at that point shouldn't interfere with the Democrats if they're out to destroy themselves.

i agree, but it's been a while since democrats have had control of congress. and don't forget they only control the house right now, it'll still be a while before all the votes for senate are counted and sorted out. here's to hoping for the senate!

Democrats are going to betray some one.  Will it be the New Democrats?\nOr will it be their commie welfare base?\nThis will be fun.\nBoth Iran and Al Qaeda say the Democrats owe them for helping them take over Congress.\nIllegals say the Democrats owe them.

*sigh* unfortunately it's most likely going to be more of the same old crap.  Just like the republicans were pretty much corrupted by all their power, the same will likely happen to the democrats.\n\nWell, that's assuming they're going to stay in power past the next election.  I guess we can all hope that we'll see some actual positive changes in the upcoming months.... but I'm not holding my breath.

Yes it makes you wonder. All the Democrat leaders re opposed to the war, However only six of their senators voted to cut and run. They had a sizable amount in the US house defect as well.

france has strife because they're econ. system is socialist, and dependant on entitlements. we have a capitalist system. you can be what you want to here. you can't do it so easily over there. if we ever became like them, yes, thier would be riots in the streets. the dems have been becoming more socialist minded every day. they want to be the robin hoods, so you have to pay for someone elses hardship. wwrong idea=the dems ar the robbin' hoods of all of us! the dems try to go beyond the contitution. the only 2 things the govn't is OBLIGATED to do for us is, 1-protect our cinstitutional rights =and= 2-protect us from enemies foriegn or domestic. thats it. the dems believe the govn't money should give u free house car health care ect,,.. thats the prob.!!
