Are you willing to sacrifice your kids so Corporate America& Bush/Cheney and their cohorts can get richer?
Why are we letting them use our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, neices, nephews, and neighbors to further corporate greed and globalization and control of the natural resources of the Middle East?
Originally Al Qaeda terrorists were who we agreed to go to war to stop. They were largely in Afghanistan and now they are in Pakistan and Iraq because WE let them go into those places!
Why can't you see what our government is trying to accomplish?
If you put China in place of the United States in this equation our President would be constantly telling us how much of a threat China is becoming!!
Think about it!

You have nailed the question. And I will fight like a wildcat to keep the self-serving rich and elite from creating a future for themselves, while doing it on the backs of the poor and middle classes. I won't sacrifice my kids and grandkids for their greed.
We live in a country that fosters and encourages wealth. If someone rises above the fray, they should reap the rewards ... But, they should never expect that entire governement policy be created to support their increased wealth, while the same policy tramples down the poor and middle classes.
The Republicans will always bang their drums loudly on how this would affect small business owners. ... but it not the small business owners they are protecting ... small business is not the main political contributors of the Republican party, while big business is a huge political contributor. The Republicans are all about big business and the very wealthiest in this country .. hence the huge tax loopholes for big business, and the hamstringing of the IRS in recent decades.
Even though they are not the party of the every day hard working American. the Republicans know how to capture the vote of the common man ... they target the fanatical, the racists, the intolerant, and those with a single-minded issue such as gun rights. Viola! ... millions of hard working people ... often victims of Republican policy themselves, are now voting to make rich people even richer. A Republican dream comes true.

You need to be more aware of current events. The notion that Bush and Cheney are somehow benefitting from the Iraq situation is silly. What the government is attempting to accomplish is to prevent al Qaeda types from setting up shop in Iraq, as they did in Afghanistan, and working more mischief against the US -- while having access to Saddam's WMD with which to do so. I suggest that you read:

Bad example. But I have a question for you asked by a friend to me. How did Saddam keep Al Qaeda out of Iraq? You guys keep harping we brought Al Qaeda into Iraq. Answer that question for me and then we'll talk.

The United States has the highest corporate tax rate of any industrialized country. I don't suppose you would take that into consideration. Higher than France, Germany, England, etc.

Like when the Russians invaded Afghanistan?
What the hell are we doing in Iraq anyway? When America wakes up and realizes what this war is really about there will be a revolt but of course the Bush administration has already took precautions for that haven't they.

"corporate greed and globalization" are like, nowhere near each other. Greedy American corporations DON'T want globalization. Are they poisoning our water with fluoride too? OMG THEY ARE! THEY'RE A CONSPIRACY.

Did Elvis tell you all this, or are you just making it up as you go? Seriously, are you a sighted person who still bumps into walls because you're so misguided?
If you want to know what a fool looks like, go find a mirror.
