But that's not the point I was making: my point was that when education is better funded, you get a better student and thus a better component of society. You said that education will always be there, and you don't need so much taxes going to education. I was simply making the point that it does make a difference.

I went to school in Delavan, in Walworth county.

I am making the argument that just throwing cash at a problem is not the solution. I don't pretend to know the answer to a perfect educational program, but we have seen where blindly throwing money at the problem does not get results. As you probably know Wisconsin is becoming the haven for Hmong aliens and now in my district (SPASH), they have their own HS channel, they have their own language and to me this is a complete waste of money. If you are in the USA, espeically MID-Wisconsin, you better learn our language. When my grandfolks arrived here, they sure as hell didn't get the Polish channel or speak Polish in a community taxed program. This money could be spent more wisely or not spent at all. And there is alot of these super individual programs, that if you tried to support them all or anything some liberal can dream up, we will go broke.

Do you think that it will become safer? Last I checked, more Americans were dying post-war in the ME than before the war. Plus, we are no more safe here at home than we were in 2001. I ride on the commuter lines into Boston all the time (the train that rides under the Fleet Center, where the convention is being held.) I have never ever come in contact with any official regarding safety.

We're not going to change the atmosphere of the Middle East. It's just not going to happen: to think that it is is foolishness.

A very tough prospect indeed, but if we don't and democracy doesn't get hold and they get hold of a nuke and plant it in NY or Boston, colonization of the ME will be next just as we did to the Native Americans 100+ years ago. Then you can imagine the loss of life on their side. We have to convince Iran, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia that democracy has to be instituted in their countries for the peace of everyone. It doesn't stop a the ME either, Africa will next be looked at.

Lets not overdramatize the fact. The US won't "fall to terrorists", nor are terrorist fundamental threats to the very existance of the US.

What is at stake is vast areas in which the US has significant strategic interests, which is why we are involved in the first place and why we have become targets.

As for democratization by force-we will see-the amdin. had some insane expectations going in, and they have been horribly slow in trying to reform from the many mistakes. We will see if they are able to make up for thir incompetence and inneptness.

iraq was not in any way shape or form responsible. and thats where the money is going. put your head back in the sand.

Why are you so hung up on democracy in the mideast? If they had democracy they'd just vote to kill us. It wouldn't change how the islamic world feels about america.

BTW... Ebert and Roper gave Fahrenheit 911 two thumbs up

The last part is hilarious. "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Now watch this drive!" Bush is great.

[Ramo]

Looks good.

The trailers also double as free Kerry ads.

Ya know, that'd be an interesting way to get out campaign finance laws. I can just see the GOP getting people to fund a movie and massive ads about a John Kerry biography. Where he eats aborted fetuses like candy bars and gives Ho Chi Mihn and Saddam sexual favors.

For the love of God America, get rid of Bush ASAP.


Bring back Abraham Lincoln!

Don't you get it? He's an egotistical idiot.

I can even imagine Saddam saying something similar. "I'm going to kill all Americans. Now watch how fast I can eat this pie".

[Gangerolf]

I know he is. The funny thing is he doesn't even try to hide it.

[Imran Siddiqui]

What was so wrong about the 'drive' quote? I simply don't get it? So what? He was giving a statement in the middle of playing golf. Whoop-de-doo!

[JohnT]

Anybody with sense could see that, Imran: It's how it is cut, edited, and presented that shows that Bush is teh evil.

[Drake Tungsten]

It made me respect Bush more. I'd be pissed if some media jackasses interrupted my round to get some sound-bites on the War on Terror, but he seemed to handle it with a smile and a sense of humor.

[Drake Tungsten]

Bush also has a nice looking swing. I like that in a leader.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ike had a good swing .
