Have you noticed all of the conflicts around the world...
Bush has something else up his sleeves. He is bombing Somaliam, talking about Indonesia and other places so that now he can pretend that he is fighting a war on terror, he is really hitting everyone who he and his party have wanted to settle the score with because of bombings that happened 10,15,20,or25 years ago. I still do not understand why there was no outrage over his giving a nuclear weapon to India, this is the reason why all of these other countries are trying to get them, by the way where is Bin Laden, he is going out of his way to hunt down these so called terrorists in other countries but the main one he supposedly hunting is no where to be found...

1. You're 100% right...
There's no outrage because most people aren't paying attention.

Last night my family watched American Idol...the local "news" followed. Most of the hour "news" program spoke about American Idol. ...Then when the show 24 is broadcasted...the local news follows asking for people to call in with their opinions about that show. ...It's a shame, America is in the dark.

7. Everyone in this country seems to be afraid to speak up..
about what is going on even if they know what is going on and that is why this administration is getting away with so much dirt...I believe this country is going down and everyone will start talking when it is too late to do anything, even on this board if you ask a question someone jumps all over you as if you have attacked them personally....

3. Even big cruise ships are having problems.
My in laws went on a Mediterranian cruise that started in Italy and ended in Florida and the captain changed their itinerary at the last minute because of a problem with pirates off the coast of Africa. I can't imagine what smaller boats and cargo ships much go through.

4. Get your facts straight ...
Bush is not giving India a "nuclear weapon." India already has nuclear weapons despite US sanctions. All Bush did was level the playing field for an emerging democratic power as a counterbalance to China's rise by removing hypocritical technology embargoes in the civilian nuclear program.

Thanks to the US-India nuclear cooperation agreement, India will build nuclear power plants for her growing economy, reduce the demand for oil which will help you at the pump.

It will also help raise the standard of living of very poor people who live in a democratic, multicultural and secular country which has never attacked another country in over a thousand years.

5. Why in the hell are you getting so angry because I asked about
a nuclear weapon. You must be from India or have some part in the deal...I don't think that we have the right to give or to take nuclear weapons from anyone. They may have not attacked anyone but situations change. I believe before it is over there will be many countries trying to get these weapons...Nuclear weapons for mangoes. I wish no one had these weapons...

8. Again you are missing the point...
the US is NOT giving nuclear weapons to India. Not for mangoes, not for money, not for anything.
