Still when 43 pecent of the country says "I feel you lied to us" in regards to the main reason we went to war in Iraq, thats a big number.

So, if nearly half the country thinks Bush lied to us, why did we go to war again?

1- Used WMD against his own people (yeah the ones we gave him, and unless a WMD was made after 1994, it is no longer of weapons grade)
2- Crimes against Humanities (3 words: Pol Pot: Cambodia)
3-Terrorists (Oh you mean the Saudi nationals we trained and gave a bunch of RPGs to?)
3- No women's rights (Saudia Arabia, anything Arab thats not Turkey or Jordan)
4- No democratic elections (Like the "President" who wears a generals uniform siezed power in Pakistan)
5- Tried to assassinate GH Bush. (Hello? Castro? Exploding Cigars. I saw them when I was in DC)

So show me a good reason for going into Iraq? Show me a good reason for breaking 230 years of Diplomatic presidence. Oh yeah, I pumped it into my car this morning.

This is what we get for marketing drugs directly to the public on TV. "Ask your doctor about [blank]" indeed.

If I have any problems I'll listen to what my doctor tells me I need, seeing as how he's the one with the 12 years of med school.

Take a look under legal notices. The back and forth between them and google is great:

1. it features a woman's chest;

I would argue that there very fact you have a Black Student of the year instead of a Student of the year is in and of itself a mistake. What does that say, "None of these students could win 'Student of the Year' so we have a running just for them?" Bullshit. And if its an African American Club in the school giving the award for raising issues or something, isn't a white just as able to educate the public about mispresentation/mistreatment of Blacks. If the answer is no then a lot of my fellow democrats have wasted there time. I think a white kid from South Africa could just as easily talk about issues/problem/slavery in African as a Black kid whose last 3 generations are from Arkansas or something.

The "We should be treated equal, but at the same time have our own special club just for us" thing does not work.

Just my $0.02
