The war is illegal. Besides how very dictatorial of our illustrious baby shrub to push aside the UN at his convenience and try to use the UN charters to legitimize his illegal war. Unbelievable

Its our military and our President.

Do you suggest we turn over all our rights to the UN? Including Justice?

I believe they have jurisdiction within our borders.

if you want to read the entire four pages of really interesting torture methods and whatever, to practice up on your skills, since we all know the US tortures people(we just use water and a sheet-and dont kill'em) then check out the site.

cool,we cloned our own army....now when we leave,a small Al-qaeda militia led by Osama can infiltrate that army and destabilize Iraq.

The International Court of Justice?

Did we suddenly give up our laws and constitution for a One World Gov?

you can write an article about it tomorrow

I wouldn't call them "completely different" symbols.
It is a five pointed star, the same symbol used on our American Flag and the same symbol on some Sheriff's badges.

Putting a circle around it only makes it a five pointed star inside of a circle. Whoever used it for whatever reason ~ means only what you or they want it to mean.

But from my studying of Obama , I think he is a Constitutionalist

Constitution is a living document; no strict constructionism

When we get in a tussle, we appeal to the Founding Fathers and the Constitution's ratifiers to give direction. Some, like Justice Scalia, conclude that the original understanding must be followed and if we obey this rule, democracy is respected.

Others, like Justice Breyers, insist that sometimes the original understanding can take you only so far--that on the truly big arguments, we have to take context, history, and the practical outcomes of a decision into account.

I have to side with Justice Breyer's view of the Constitution--that it is not a static but rather a living document and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.

I see democracy as a conversation to be had. According to this conception, the genius of Madison's design is not that it provides a fixed blueprint for action. It provides us with a framework and rules, but all its machinery are designed to force us into a conversation.

yep current events is dead today

In Christian times:
1..The five points of the pentagram have been interpreted as representing the five wounds of Christ (2 wrist, 2 ankle and 1 side).
2..The Roman Emperor Constantine used the pentagram in his seal and amulet.
3..It has been referred to as the Star of Bethlehem
4..It was used to symbolize the star which allegedly led three Zoroastrian astrologers to the baby Jesus; it was called the Three Kings' star.
5..The English warrior Sir Gawain, a nephew of King Arthur, adopted the pentagram as his personal symbol and placed it on his shield. It appeared in gold on a red background. The five points symbolized "the five knightly virtues - generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety."
6..Tarot cards originally had a suit of coins or discs. These were changed in the 19th century to pentacles when the Tarot became associated with the Kabbalah. They eventually became the suit of diamonds in modern playing cards.
7..It has been widely used by past Christians as a protective amulet.
8..During the burning times when the Christian church burned alive hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the meaning of the pentagram changed. It began to symbolize a goat's head or the devil in the form of Baphomet. "The folk-symbol of security - for the first time in history - was equated with evil and was called the Witch's Foot.

The pentacle, a pentagram within a circle, is the most recognizable symbol of Wicca.
