I ran out of charactors. What I mean is without any kind of accountability what-so-ever? In Hawaii it is against the law to feed the pidgeons simply because during the high tourist season they would thrive and reproduce and then the low season would occur causing the young birds to die. Feeding the homeless is a noble undertaking but it does nothing to solve the problem. Without accountability or even basic case management the consumers drift back to the streets to await another free meal. One month of defense budget spending would go a long way to overworked sociologists.

Britain announced the setting of a time-table for troop withdrawal today over the objections of PM Blair. They will leave essential troops in high risk areas but the process will begin. How will an American GI deal with his comrades being pulled out knowing that PM Blair is against the process?

This question is bi-partisan; I have CIB's from two campaigns and five military age kids. Two are Army Reserve nurses and one is in Marine Corp OCS. I'm not sure how I would feel.

In 1970 I was drafted into the military yet I was not yet 21 and old enough to vote back then. If the draft is re-instated you will have a voice in your government; hence the above question. Aloha and mahalo.

RNEP: A proposed addition to the US nuclear weapons arsenal, designed to destroy deeply buried targets. The weapon's explosion could be as large as one megaton, around seventy times the force of the bomb used on Hiroshima.

RRW: A report in the February 7, 2005 edition of The New York Times suggests that the Energy Department may try to use the Reliable Replacement Warhead program to help field warheads with new military capabilities. In other words, the RRW may replace the Advanced Concepts program, an initiative to develop a "low yield" nuclear weapon that Congress completely cut in 2004. A "low yield" nuclear weapon is the key to the Bush administration's 2002 Nuclear Posture Review, which called for a more "usable" nuclear weapon and listed seven countries as possible targets for first strike nuclear attacks: China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Libya, and Syria.

Is the all volunteer military enough? Would you let your son/daughter join the military at 17 years old? Are you for sending more troops to Iraq? Should we make two consecutive warless generations a national goal?
