Without going into the whole "not glossing over the U.S." argument I'll say that I really enjoyed this film. In all honestly the story could have been rapped in a small German hamlet setting and it would have still been very entertaining. It had really good performances by all the actors i...

Your stupidity is only overshadowed by your ignorance.

I think the smart money in the Democratic party is going to let Mr. Kerry hang swinging in the breeze here. They don't expect they have much of a chance anyway in this election year so why have a star like Hillary take the loss? John Kerry = Fall Guy You can think that if you want Met, but the race...

Oh and on the subject of Democratic "leaders" thinking that Kerry should change his campaign I think Kerry should politely tell them thank you for your concern, but stfu. These are the same people that lost seats in both the House and the Senate last time and had zero direction in 2002 and...

In fact, the number killed in battle has fallen to its lowest point in the post-World War II period, dipping below 20,000 a year by one measure. Peacemaking missions, meantime, are growing in number.

Are you saying Bush couldn't afford a cab? Nope and I'm not saying it's okay. I'm just saying you have to look realistically at it, that's all.

Now now I never made any statement on the character of either individual that you mention or allude to.

An ignorant idiot wrote: Laura Bush actually has the moral conviction not to parade around with a fucking criminal. How dare she, huh?

Congrats to Argentina on the gold, really they deserve it, they've been the best international team for the last few years. They started the U.S. downfall in the World Championships. At least a Spur was part of the gold medal team, even if it wasn't Tim Duncan.

I think the Spanish coach thought Larry Brown was trying to show up his team by calling a time out with 23 second left.

Team U.S.A. has enough talent to win; it's a lack of playing international basketball that is really hurting them.

Well the game showed that he U.S. can't hit threes to beat the zone defense.

I don't apply the word righteous to war. The main objection to the atomic bomb dropping was the amount of people it killed innocent or miltary.
