One thing definitely needs to be nogociated and that is organizing a decent health care system .Clinton already tried to introduce a modern,efficient health care system but was rebuked by the republican ld conress .To rid health care from the powerful grip of the insurance business will take a lot of energy .they drive billions of dollars of profit from the americans,only one goal for them:making maximum profit by using every trick possible to deny the end user the money they have in custody .if Obama is to be yournew president you will have to make him speak out on this issue and see if he is the man to handle this difficult task .if he teams up with Clinton no doubt she will put her shoulders under this issue and modrnize health care for your benefit .Until now the debate has been concentrated mostly on slogans and propaganda .Give the future of your country more content.

Leave it to the British News Services - after screwing with the world's finances for the past half millennium, why would the Brits be any better at News.

Obama did NOT pass the delegate mark of 2118 last night. Not possible - only 36 delegates were available, you soppy dates.

Mark my words - Hillary Clinton will be President. It was already decided by the Danish Queen, among others.

And then she won South Dakota. Obama cannot beat McCain. And if I had to choose my neighbour, McCain or Clinton?

Idiots.

Ahem.

How would Obama deal with the 100 million christian radicals in the U.S. that have had a free rein to kill muslims in Iraq for 6 years, and support muslim killing and occupation? I mean, if he put a leash on them then there would be a lot of pent up aggressions.

There should be a law in the U.S.: Kill muslim, go to jail; even if it is on foreign soil. Fortunately there are such laws in the U.S. and if christians did what they do in the M.E., but in the U.S., then those christians would go to jail.

Sometimes the dim witted comments I read on this site really make me shudder - - - for a moment or two anyway.

Many of you live in deeply disturbed worlds.

'Many of you live in deeply disturbed worlds.'

I agree. So, what excuse is there for killing muslims in Iraq?:

(1) WMDs?: No, that was a lie.

(2) al-Qaeda? No, they were not there before the U.S. started killing.

(3) 9/11? No, none of them were Iraqis, none were from Iraq and none had been receiving help from an Iraq jurisdiction.

(4) Defense? No. It is proven that Saddam was all tapped out with essentially no military capabilities.

(5) Democracy? Maybe or maybe not.

So, the excuse for killing muslims is to force democracy on them? Is that a good enough excuse for killing people? Are christians doing the killing? Obviously. Almost all of the soldiers in the U.S. military are christian.

What does it mean to be christian when it amounts to killing? Can christian charity be enough to turn a blind eye to killing muslims just like it was to turn a blind eye to mass raping children (by catholic priests)?

greenpan must have be right when he said it's all about oil, not democracy, WMD, or dictators. Don't the Christians have a god given right to take the oil in Iraq so they can drive their SUV's to their evangelical megachurches?

@ Lance

'what excuse is there for killing muslims in Iraq?'

You are definitely disturbed Lance. In case you aren't aware, about 95%+ of all casualties are muslim on muslim often deliberate and gruesome murder - and often specifically because they are muslim. The US is much more egalitarian and it has nothing to do with religious affiliation. If you are directly involved in perpetrating violence against civilians or the government or public/private property, then you become a target.

'(1) WMDs?: No, that was a lie.'

You are deluded Lance. The UNSC was unanimous in confirming Saddam's lack of compliance. I really don't expect you to grasp any of this.

(2) al-Qaeda? No, they were not there before the U.S. started killing.

Keep chasing your tail. It must be frustrating Lance. Why do you think it is ok for dictators and terrorists to kill people, but not ok for the US to put those terrorists/dictators 'out of business'? Should we abandon our allies and not protect the democratically elected government?

'(3) 9/11? No, none of them were Iraqis, none were from Iraq and none had been receiving help from an Iraq jurisdiction.'

Thats swell Lance, but the UN imposed cease fire terms on Saddam that he did not comply with for over a decade. You (and other freaks) are the only one claiming it was 9/11 connection.

'(4) Defense? No. It is proven that Saddam was all tapped out with essentially no military capabilities.'

When was this proven? When compared to US military, almost any country would be 'tapped out.' Saddam was a proven brutal killer who defiantly refused to comply with US disarmament resolutions and who required constant monitoring and military containment. This tapped out Saddam maintained a brutal regime that killed hundreds of thousands of his own people.

'(5) Democracy? Maybe or maybe not.'

How can you doubt the US commitment to helping the Iraqis build democracy? It will take a while before it looks like anything in the west, but that is not the fault of the US.

'mass raping children (by catholic priests)?'

Wow! So much hate Lance! You really should get help. I don't expect you to convince you because your mind has been poisoned. Your thoughts are really pathological and I am sincere in my hope that you will get professional help.

Good luck!
