Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?

Wow, some of youse guys need a time out.

When my generation was younger most of the bands and artists that were my favorites were speaking out against the war in Vietnam.

Now we have the Vietnam of the new millenium. Thousands of our young folks die for midieval folk most of which haven't got the courage to stand up for themselves.

I'd like to see our current administration honor those who've already died by bringing the rest home before they have an opportunity to die for basically nothing.

These folks in the middle east have been fighting amongst themselves since Jesus walked the earth and before.
When will we learn that we cannot be the world's cop?

Just imagine if the BILLIONS of dollars that have been spent on this fruitless war had been spent here at home.

Meanwhile the Arabs and big oil have thier last laugh at our expense. Exxon/Mobil posts record profits on the backs of American consumers, and our administration has sold out to big business. LOL even Chevron had to change the name of their largest tanker from "Condoleeza Rice" to "Altair Voyager" Condoleeza Rice sat on Chevron's board for years.

Look closely at what your goverment wants you to believe today. "Weapons of Mass Destruction", .....they're weren't any.

Now we border on a police state where there are terrorists on every corner, under every bridge and in every back yard. Our goverment has a policy totally based on fear. Common sense and personal responsibility have taken flight.

Wake up folks, before it is REALLY too late.

Best,

Paul :-)

Did someone just say that the Dixie Hicks are "hot looking"? Compared to what? Neil Young?

Jeff Bowman wondered:
"Did someone just say that the Dixie Hicks are "hot looking"? "

Jeff, they may not be super-models, but I think most men would agree that at least 2 of the Chix are fetching indeed. Ms. Maines is not my cup o' tea, but the other 2 are quite attractive, IMHO.

Beemer, You are so very wrong.

Ask the Kurds if there were Weapons of Mass Destruction!
Thousands upon thousands died when Chemical Ali used them on them. Or perhaps they merely dreamed that there were thousands of dead lying in the streets?! (I assume you are one of those who think the Holocaust never happened too, right?!)

And, the reason why Iraq is not Vietnam is that Vietnam was a civil war. Iraq was liberated from one of the worst dictators ever. Ammensty Internation states that Saddam killed over a million of his own people. Not counting the people who died in the two wars against Iran and Kuwait that he started.

Please get your facts straight.

Please read this:

Perhaps you should wake up, before you vote for another Clinton, who administration will once again bury their heads in the sand when we are attacked again and again and yet again, and they do nothing to protect us!

Paul - "When will we learn that we cannot be the world's cop?"

May I suggest to you that it's a little more than being the world's cop. This war was not about Iraqi WMD. What most Americans don't realize is that this war is a religious and cultural war, which actually begin in 1979 with the declaration of Islamic Jihah by the Aytollah Khomeini in Iran. America's proactive engagement in this fight began on September 12, 2001.

We are fighting a war of ideology that only happens to be based in Iraq, but in point of fact is taking place all across the globe. Our enemy (Islamic Fundamentalism) is determined to destroy America and our allies. If we fail in Iraq and run like we did from Viet Nam in 1975 and Lebanon in '83, we will further embolden AQ, Hezbolah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran, Syria, Sudan et. al, enabling them to attack our interests to a far greater extent than what we saw in 2001.

Hopefully, we've learned from the mistakes made by the Flower Power generation and we won't turn Iraq into a Viet Nam. If we are smart we won't run when the going gets tough and meet our obligations and acheive our objectives. If we aren't smart and follow the course set out by anti-war activists we will suffer a far greater threat than was realized on 9/11.

If you don't believe in what I tell you, I have a recommendation. Read Bridgette Gabriel's book entitled "Why They Hate Us."
