Jason, I am curious where do you work? What kind of job will allow you to post here that much? You ever do any actual work during the day?
No wonder they choose H1-Bs over Americans

Because they are the only democratic regime in that part of the world and they also share our basic values and belief structures. In addition, there is a larger Jewish population (and a very politically organized one) in the US than there is in Israel. The Jewish lobby in this country is very powerful and is supported by a very powerful Christian lobby, and they of course lobby the government to take actions that are in Israel's best interests. The vast majority of American citizens seems to support this.

That is what I say, since there are lots of jews in america, america support israil with arms and money.
America dosent care whether israil is right or wrong, they just supply arms to kill innocent plaseteninas.
Are the people of palesten who are getting killed by israil soldiers powered by american guns and bullets not innocent.
Saddam could be spending the wealth of his nation fighting aids, cancer, raising the standard of living for Palestinians.
Looks to me like he'd rather dominate the gulf.
The US has given up it's colonialist ways.
We don't want any war. We've been waiting patiently for the last ten years for somebody to quietly put a pistol to Saddam's temple and blow his brains all over the pillow.
We'll give a new despot a longer leash.
Could you make a point other than it's our instruction from Allah that we are to kill, conquer, or subjugate infidels?

By constantly trying one ends up succeeding. Thus: the more one fails the more one has a chance to succeed.
responding to the original post, i read this today.
If invoked, the War Powers Act, passed in 1973 late in the Vietnam War, would prohibit the president from waging war for more than 60 days without congressional approval or a declaration of war by Congress.

While it is true that polls are only of limited value, there is a bit of a difference between an informal internet poll and a scientific poll conducted by an internationally respected organization such as Gallup. ...

5. the primary goal of USA is a security issue and not an economical issue. Of course securing oil supply is part of the western security agenda. But: Do you think oil is under market value? No it is not. There is an OPEC cartel which keeps prices up. Also there are huge taxes on gasoline (in Europe more than in USA). If cheap oil would be such an issue there would be no taxes.
