Geeze Col, You really must think we do behave like they do in the dukes of hazard. You should turn off the tele and get out more
I wouldn't miss Dukes of Hazzard - Daisy Duke is amazing.

Of course not - once he gets his nose in the money trough, it's more lucrative for him to send more Americans to their death.
He's already vowed to increase the troops in Afghanistan, so there must be lucrative contracts to be dished out there to big US companies.

I don't know what his policy is but I think we (America) should admit we haven't handled the whole thing very well and ask an international coalition like the UN to take over. But I'm not dug in and open to suggestions. I just don't want America to have to foot the entire bill...

I agree with this, as history dictates the two fundamental reasons for war are either Religion or Money, money creates war and war creates money (provided you win ofc)

What else are bombs and bullets for?
It's my understanding that they are used to help the Iraq gov suppress the radicals in the country. If you want to call it a war then call it a war.
I referred to the Political forum. This is the Watercooler forum.

Wasn't he the person who took sufficient votes from Al Gore in 2000 in Florida so GWB got elected

Yes.
The reverse happened when Ross Perot handed the 92 election to Clinton from Bush 1. Perot's vote was much bigger than Nader got, about 15% I think.

Congratulations to President-Elect Obama.
Will he bring about Change?
With the direction the economy is going, I fear the only change to be brought about will be the change the homeless and jobless will be asking for on the street.
While listening to the election results last night, one of the extreme right-wing commentators (so far out there they won't let him on TV) suggested that Obama bring back the draft. This may be the only job available to young people getting out of high school for the next few years.

It wasn't just the youth.
Mostly, it was. CNN shows 18-29 year olds voted for Obama 66% of the time, while the 65 and older age group voted for McCain 53% of the time. Without the 18-29 age group, it is clear that Obama would have lost this election.
