Re:Better results than Google?
The top 10 results for the search "what is a gbic?" returns largely the same pages on both Google and MSN. However, MSN's search results put a product page first, where Google puts a Webopedia page first (not talking about the Web Definitions feature).
MSN's search for "What is a donkey?" yeilds very little information.
Meanwhile "why is george bush an asshole?" returns nothing very useful on MSN, but Google returns this entertaining piece. (flash req) -
Re:And legality?Countries which, along with many others, were fighting the Germans long before the isolationist US entered the war. The latter only occured when Japan directly attacked Pearl Harbour. Trivial, basic historical knowledge. If you'd like more fun facts, GIS about Joseph Kennedy (yes, those Kennedys) and the Nazis or perhaps the history of the relationship between Sadaam and the US. Here's the 30 second Cole's Notes version if that's too much trouble:

Re:You speak only for Americans
That's a great answer to something I didn't write.
You offer no evidence that Americans are in fact concerned by the suffering of the Iraqi people, or are even aware of it.
When I follow these discussions among Americans in the media and around me, the killing of tens of thousands of people is almost never brought up, even as something worth considering if it was good or bad. The 700 dead US soldiers are at least a 100 times bigger concern. Many times phrases like "700 people have been killed so far!" are used, which makes it very clear the speaker either don't consider Iraqis people, or aren't aware of their deaths.
If the invasion was a good or bad idea is a different issue, which I didn't even address in my post, which was a response to someone saying that avoiding US soldiers getting killed was the main reason anyone opposed the war.
Despite what you seem to think, almost literally everyone, including war opponents, is happy that Saddam is gone. The fact that he was put there by the US in the first place makes your talk of irony and self contradictory nature quite ironic. -
Re:A new low
In other words, this law is just like the other laws this current set of jackasses has come up with:
Clean Air Act and Clear Skys Initiative gives free reign to industry to pollute as much as it wants with no ill consequence.
USA PATRIOT Act is the most unpatriotic and authoritarian piece of legistlation since the Alien Sedition Acts, possibly earlier.
The Medicare Reform hands medicare over to private HMO's and basically sets up Medicare for a crash in a few years.
The Energy Bill that hands over tons of money to the corporations that caused the problem in the first place.
The effort to "free" Afghanistan that basically handed that country over to opium drug lords.
They go into Iraq in part because they may be collecting radioactive material to build nuclear bombs to use on the US, and procede to dump 75 tons of depleted uranium rounds in their country.
They critisize corporate fraud and promise to crack down, then procede to disolve legal and financial protections for whistleblowers. Not to mention many of thier own little financial escapades.
They proclaim to "Leave No Child Behind" (TM) and then procede to slash funding across the board for public education.
They "support the troops" by slashing pay and benefits for active duty and veterans and extending tour durations over and over.
And many many many more.
They make war in order to maintain peace.
They proceed to strip us of all our freedom in the name of protecting it.
They maintain security by controling hiding information.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
This is no different, and not the least bit surprising. -

Re:Who cares about paper trails?
To those who want to learn more about the 2000 Florida election and to those who keep saying, "Bush won, get over it!"
Take a look at this. -
not just an idiot...
Sleep safe, Zachary Kessin, for you now sleep in a world ruled by an unelected idiot who does not even care for a pretext when attacking a sovereign country, no matter who rules it. Be a sheep, give up your brain so you don't have to fight for whatever "justice" passes for nowadays.
he's the idiot son of an asshole! -

Re:78 THOUSAND suspected terrorists?
Probably the same way they come up with a list of disqualified florida voters. It's not that hard to make a list.

Re:Use open source in government
WRONG! There should be a moderation option for "-1 IDIOT".
Check out this liberal flash animation that sums up Florida during the last presidential election quite nicely.

Re:It's just so sad...Moderated^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H CENSORED as a troll.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
It is absurd that these people are suffering undeserved deaths with our support and tax money - and most seem to be concerned that economic inconvenience will disturb their leisure and recreation.
