Do you believe that Alkaida is run by the US Government?

Whether the US-Guv created Al-Kye-duh or not, it sure has made it easier to justify increased military spending, hasn't it?  Just another way for the rich to get richer, and in the process, turn the entire world against the good, hard-working people who live in the United States.  This justifies increased defense spending, and it goes on and on from there...

Yes, the first bush administration are the ones that trained Bin Laden and supplied them with arms. Then The US Government screwed them over.

No, as a nonprofit organization they have no power to enact laws that govern the country.  However, MADD can lobby legislators to pass laws.

Yes.  The government wesite is below.

Well, it's not like evrey single guard is going to be an arab.  There will still have to be American citizens.  It's just that the company that will oversee those guards will be owned by the Saudi government.  Just the same, I'm against it, too.  I'd be just as much against it if I had known that the company was previously owned by a British company.  Yes, they are both our allies.  So what.  They're not US.  Not only should Americans be the guards, the company in charge should be American as well.

According to our government it hasn't reached that point yet.  According to those on the ground over there it's almost in full swing.  Who to believe?  I think I'll believe those who are in the middle of it, rather than the Administration that has been dancing around it.

No. Somehow, extremists get into power and everyone assumes the whole bunch is like that. Sounds kind of familiar to me....\n\nrepublican USA

By "us gov" I assume you mean the current administration.  Or do you mean to include congress?  In either case, the answer is generally, no.  I'm terribly disappointed.  Or rather, not really disappointed, because I did not expect much from GWB.  But the structure of our government is still pretty good, and our Constitution is just fine, thank you.  Don't you wish the current crop of idiots paid attention to it once in awhile?\n\nThe problem I see in this country is that the vast majority of voters figure their choices are limited to the two largest parties.  Problem is, they have been trading off power trips and making back-room deals between them for so long, that does not give us much in the way of a choice.\n\nBut we have a strong and promising third party coming up fast: the Libertarian Party.  We libertarians believe that a government should be small enough to fit inside the Constitution.  We would disassemble the beaurocracy, stop butting into other countries' business, and trust the individual adult citizen to make his or her own choices about private matters.  We believe market forces would solve many of the problems that protectionism and favoritism only make worse.  And we believe that taxes should be eliminated if possible, or at least reduced to no more than it would take to run those operations that cannot be accomplished any other way.  \n\nIf the state can do it, then the feds should let them.  If the county can do it, the state should let them.  If the individual can do it, then let him alone.  If the individual cannot do it, let voluntary organizations and other structures at the local level help.  Because the larger the unit set with the task of solving a given problem, the less efficient it will inevitably be.  Perhaps the coordination necessary for defense operations would require a federal structure, but I personally cannot think of anything else that needs to be done on such a scale.  Can you?

Yes, it is becasue it is an Arab country. The US right now is going through an identity crisis.\n\nWe make it our business to spread democracy and freedom around the world, yet when a party is democratically elected, and we don't like them, we want to break diplomatic relations. (Hamas)\n\nWe belive in free trade/market, and have allowed businesses from other countries maintain our ports, yet now that there is an Arab country involved, it is a problem.\n\nThe United States does not know what position it is to hold in the world.

Might makes right. And the US is the wealthiest and most militarily powerful nation at the moment, so the US gets to make the rules for everyone else.\n\nEspecially nations that have natural resources our largest industries/corporations want to control.

I agree.  It is only logical when you look at the facts from their story that this Islamic government had been doing evil things ever since they took over the power.  Do not forget that they took Americans in Iran for hostages for over 200 days after their so called Islamic Revolution.

I wish I could give you that answer straight up, just like a shot of Tequila.\nThe Government made a lot of Propaganda movies for us during WW11, and showed us sending , Chocolate, wheat, Cigarettes to France and Italy. It was a train, and wow, hey, where were we when Katrina hit. Not a plane one, here was our President begging us to give our money to the Red Cross which is really controlled by the Government isn't it? \nI'm confused sometimes. We are in a fix. I would have to hire the Pentagon to tell me where my taxes go. Certainly not the FBI. They no longer exist, now that the Pentagon has given them a workover, and also, given them a large part of the Blame game.

Everything seems to be going that way. With every new law passed great strides are being made in that direction. Exactly the same in US and UK.\nBut what else can you expect when the same evil organisation owns the Federal Reserve, controls all political parties, manages the medical systems, organises all education, controls oil, controls food, controls water, is in charge of the military and secret services,  manipulates the value of the dollar, runs the drug cartels - both legal and illegal, etc etc.\nIt is already a police state - but done so subtly that nobody realises it. Its just a little extra each day, so gentle that it is all accepted.\nNow the situation is that absolutely anybody can be decalered an enemy combatant, arrested under laws of terrorism, imprisoned without charge for the rest of their lives, with no recourse to law. Isn't that  a fair definition of a police state!

I don't believe that the USA has the right to involve in other countries politics. It might be done because it is helpfull for the country (oil in iraq?). But I believe that bigger organisation should do it if we're talking about a dictatorship or corruption.

the united states own puerto rico which is actually a territory, not a state, and one other territory.  I'm not sure what it is called but i think it is located by the philipeans

Nope...unfortunately, i think it's Washington D.C.\n\nOur government affects EVERYONE on a GLOBAL scale in ALL cases.
