Agreed. I'll be 18 when voting day comes along, so I'll actually have to follow elections this year.

Obama seems like a guy who hasn't been corrupted by politics yet (like Hillary & the rest of them). Who knows though, it may be all show.
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...

I can vote for Obama but never for Hilarty Klinton. A new pole today says her approval rating went down the crapper and is now only a few points from Obama.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Count me in too.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

People hate bliar mainly for iraq and afghanistan but more for taxes and letting the NHS, schools and antisocial behaviour become bad. Gordon Brown (currently chancellor of the exchequer) is set to take over.

Well I'm glad the uk decided to help us.. Our alliance goes way back..

As for the war, I completely agree with you. It seems that every day the death toll rises significantly. Why the hell can't the world's best armies quickly take out these damn insurgents. At first, I think most Americans were very supportive of the war; however, where has it gone in the last 6 years? I truly think the only reason we are in Iraq today is b/c of oil.. If the decision was mine, I would recall all of our armed forces and just let the Iraqis kill each other in a civil war.. How is their war our problem?

Because it's nigh impossible to defend against guerrila warfare. You can't tell who the enemy might be. You can't just take people in and interrogate them randomly. It's the absolute worst kind of war to be on the defensive side. Besides which, the insurgents are not specifically targeting military targets. They're going after the populace as well, which makes it even that much more difficult to guess where they'll come from.

True, but It's not as bad as Vietnam.. You would think that after six years we would be much more efficient.. I still don't see a purpose to this war.. wtf are we trying to accomplish? Hussein is dead (let's get osama now).. And almost every middle eastern country hates the U.S. We are only angering the people who hate us, and rallying more support for THEM. We should leave right now.. If the government is afraid to admit to a failure, then why not use neutron bombs?
