Questions Possibly Related to Andrew, IowaProvided By Y! Answers
Do we need a terrorist attack in the United States to open the eyes of Democrats?
Question:
Oh, it’s a long, long while from September to September. This year, the anniversary falls, for the first time, on a Tuesday morning, and perhaps some or other cable network will re-present the events in real time — the first vague breaking news in an otherwise routine morning show, the follow-up item on the second plane, and the realization that something bigger was underway. If you make it vivid enough, the JFK/Princess Di factor will kick in: You’ll remember “where you were” when you “heard the news.” But it’s harder to recreate the peculiar mood at the end of the day, when the citizens of the superpower went to bed not knowing what they’d wake up to the following morning.
Six years on, most Americans are now pretty certain what they’ll wake up to in the morning: There’ll be a thwarted terrorist plot somewhere or other — last week, it was Germany. Occasionally, one will succeed somewhere or other, on the far horizon — in Bali, Istanbul, Madrid, London. But not many folks expect to switch on the TV this Tuesday morning, as they did that Tuesday morning, and see smoke billowing from Atlanta or Phoenix or Seattle. During the IRA’s 30-year campaign, the British grew accustomed (perhaps too easily accustomed) to waking up to the news either of some prominent person’s assassination or that a couple of gran’mas and some schoolkids had been blown apart in a shopping centre. It was a terrorist war in which terrorism was almost routine. But, in the six years since President Bush declared that America was in a “war on terror,” there has been in America no terrorism.
In theory, the administration ought to derive a political benefit from this: The president has “kept America safe.” But, in practice, the placidity of the domestic front diminishes the chosen rationale of the conflict: If a “war on terror” has no terror, who says there’s a war at all? That’s the argument of the Left — that it’s all a racket cooked up by the Bushitlerburton fascists to impose on America a permanent national-security state in which, for dark sinister reasons of his own, Dick Cheney is free to monitor your out-of-state phone calls all day long. Judging from the blithe expressions of commuters doing the shoeless shuffle through the security line at LAX and O’Hare, most Americans seem relatively content with a permanent national-security state. It’s a curious paradox: airports on permanent Orange Alert, and a citizenry on permanent …well, I’m not sure there’s a homeland-security color code for “Gaily Insouciant,” but, if there is, it’s probably a bland limpid pastel of some kind. Of course, if tomorrow there’s a big smoking hole where the Empire State Building used to be, we’ll be back to: “The president should have known! This proves the failure of his policies over the last six years! We need another all-star Commission filled with retired grandees!”
And that would be the relatively sane reaction. Have you seen that bumper sticker “9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB”? If you haven’t, go to a college town and cruise Main Street for a couple of minutes. It seems odd that a fascist regime which thinks nothing of killing thousands of people in a big landmark building in the center of the city hasn’t quietly offed some of these dissident professors — or at least the guy with the sticker-printing contract. Fearlessly, Robert Fisk of Britain’s Independent, the alleged dean of Middle East correspondents, has now crossed over to the truther side and written a piece headlined, “Even I Question The ‘Truth’ About 9/11.” According to a poll in May, 35-percent of Democrats believe that Bush knew about 9/11 in advance. Did Rumsfeld also know? Almost certainly. That’s why he went to his office as normal that today, because he knew in advance that the plane would slice through the Pentagon but come to a halt on the far side of the photocopier. That’s how well-planned it was, unlike Iraq.
Apparently, 39-percent of Democrats still believe Bush didn’t know in advance — or, at any rate, so they said in May. But I’m confident half of them will have joined Rosie O’Donnell on the melted steely knoll before the Iowa caucuses. If Iraq is another Vietnam, 9/11 is another Kennedy assassination. Were Bali, Madrid, and London also inside jobs by the Bush Gang? If so, it’s no wonder federal spending’s out of control.
And what of those for whom the events of six years ago were more than just conspiracy fodder? Last week the New York Times carried a story about the current state of the 9/11 lawsuits. Relatives of 42 of the dead are suing various parties for compensation, on the grounds that what happened that Tuesday morning should have been anticipated. The law firm Motley Rice, diversifying from its traditional lucrative class-action hunting grounds of tobacco, asbestos, and lead paint, is promising to put on the witness stand everybody who “allowed the events of 9/11 to happen.” And they mean everybody — American Airlines, United, Boeing, the airport authorities, the security firms — everybody, that is, except the guys who did it.
According to the Times, many of the bereaved are angry and determined that their loved one’s death should have meaning. Yet the meaning they’re after surely strikes our enemies not just as extremely odd but as one more reason why they’ll win. You launch an act of war, and the victims respond with a lawsuit against their own countrymen. But that’s the American way: Almost every news story boils down to somebody standing in front of a microphone and announcing that he’s retained counsel. Last week, it was Larry Craig. Next week, it’ll be the survivors of Ahmadinejad’s nuclear test in Westchester County. As Andrew McCarthy pointed out, a legalistic culture invariably misses the forest for the trees. Senator Craig should know that what matters is not whether an artful lawyer can get him off on a technicality but whether the public thinks he trawls for anonymous sex in public bathrooms. Likewise, those 9/11 families should know that, if you want your child’s death that morning to have meaning, what matters is not whether you hound Boeing into admitting liability but whether you insist that the movement that murdered your daughter is hunted down and the sustaining ideological virus that led thousands of others to dance up and down in the streets cheering her death is expunged from the earth.
In his pugnacious new book, Norman Podhoretz calls for redesignating this conflict as World War IV. Certainly, it would have been easier politically to frame the Iraq campaign as being a front in a fourth world war than as a necessary measure in an anti-terrorist campaign. Yet who knows? Perhaps we would still have mired ourselves in legalisms and conspiracies and the dismal curdled relativism of the Flight 93 memorial’s “crescent of embrace.” In the end, as Podhoretz says, if the war is to be fought at all, it will “have to be fought by the kind of people Americans now are.” On this sixth anniversary, as 9/11 retreats into history, many Americans see no war at all.
Answer:
No.
That is a horrible and very Anti-American thing to say.
Maybe you find the anniversary of 9/11 to be suitable for political hate speech. I believe most Americans would not.

I also Think it is crazy how slutty women that are assigned to combat arms units are. I also think that the current policy on rape and being drunk needs to be changed if we are both drunk why is the male always the one to blame when the night before the female was coming onto him etc but the next morning she has what the hell did we do syndrome? Why can't it ever be the other way around?

Here is my greatest poem yet and it is very long?
Question:
Here it is. This poem is entitled the Never Ending Fence:Part1
Many years ago when the world was rising up
there stood a man named Iowa Pup.
He had come upon a fence one day,
it was aged, worn, and covered with clay.
He let the fence be,
and traveled back to his home by the sea.
That night, before his slumber,
he thought where did it lead, that line of lumber.
The very next morning he filled his pack,
with some spring water and a healthy snack.
He traveled from his home by the sea,
and returned to the fence he let be.
At that exact minute of that exact day,
Iowa traveled from his home to far and away.
He took his first step of his new journey,
unknowing of the strange things he would see.
He walked ahead, taking some rest,
occasionally he would stop to enjoy a chicken breast.
Before his slumber, he thought again,
where did the fence lead and where did it end.
He asked this question sun down and sun up,
this unanswered question vexed Iowa Pup.
One sunny day our Iowa Pup,
spotted a man sipping tea from a silver cup.
So Iowa walked over there,
bu before he could speak, the man was thin air.
Then Iowa heard a sudden plop,
he saw the silver cup and a note that read Stop.
He ignored this warning,
and continued his morning.
He continued getting lost in some thought,
when all of the sudden it became dreadfully hot.
He walked further and saw a man,
he was standing by a fire and a large caravan.
So Iowa asked what is your name,
and the man answered I am Johnny Flame.
Iowa just stood and gave him a look,
a look you wouldn't find in any other book.
Johnny's eyes shined as if he had an idea,
then said hey kid give me a hand why don't ya!
So Johnny walked up to his large caravan,
and pulled out a lighter and a large oil can.
Then he said hey kid grab some of that hay,
and we'll burn down this fence all covered with clay.
So Iowa Pup did just that,
and gathered some hay and made it a mat.
Everything was according to plan,
from the hay to the lighter to the large oil can.
All of the sudden our Iowa Pup,
watched his friend Johnny get eaten up.
As Johnny lit the oil can,
a fire shot up and devoured the man.
Iowa screamed and ran from the place,
he had a terrified look on his face.
He ran without stopping,
no jogging no hopping.
Then he started to settle down,
and he saw up ahead what looked like clown.
As Iowa came up,
an astonishing discovery was made by Iowa Pup.
A voice called heh kid, yeah you over there,
how would you like to be a trillionaire?
As quickly as he had heard it, Iowa was there,
asking how to become a trillionaire.
There are many strange ways to become a trillionaire,
but Iowa was asked to eat a golden eclair.
The man said I do declare,
there has been no one as dumb as to eat my eclair.
You see you are no longer a trillionaire,
because you ate my golden eclair.
That delight cost me a billion,
so that minus that gives you a million.
Iowa quickly returned to a fence,
and traveled north, which to him made sense.
It had been a week and a day,
since Iowa Pup followed that fence all covered with clay.
One windy night our Iowa Pup,
spotted a man sipping tea from a silver cup.
As Iowa walked over there,
the man vanished into thin air.
Then Iowa thought back and said is there one man or two,
or was he just experiencing deja' vu.
As before he heard a plop,
and saw the same silver cup and the same note that said Stop.
In the morning he traveled long,
daydreaming and singing a cheery song.
Along the way he stopped for a nap,
and woke up early and took a look at his map.
He thought to himself, where is it I stand,
by a river in China or in a field in Dutch land.
He traveled on until he saw a shack,
it was painted red, white, and slightly black.
He walked inside and saw two women,
dressed up nice in the finest linen.
One woman smiled and said how may I help you,
what problem do you need us to tend to.
The other woman said our cheese is fine,
we also have great selection of expensive wine.
Iowa asked do you have a bunk,
one answered yes, we keep them suffed in a trunk.
When they pulled out the bunk, Iowa went right to sleep,
when he woke up he gave a sudden leap.
He found that both women were in his bed,
how did they get there Iowa said.
If Iowa was smart he would of looked all over the shack,
and found two helpful words that said Stay Back!!
He put on his clothes and ran through the door,
and went back to the place he was before.
There is so much to write about Iowa Pup,
for now I must get a new pen and refill my silver cup.

What do you think??
Answer:
I realize that this is an epic poem, and quite long, but you really need to 1) Learn about meter and 2) Read it aloud to yourself. You have so many forced rhymes in it. When you are working in couplets, any and all meter errors stand out like a sore thumb. Remember, poetry differs from prose in that it is meant to be read aloud. Even if it isnt read aloud, when you read it to yourself, you should "hear" the lyrical sound of the meter. You need to go line by line and adjust them so that the meter is there and the poem flows better. Other than that, the story is cute. Pax - C

can anybody explain this in a way for dummies?
Question:
w
The story of westward expansion by European Americans is a basic theme of the American experience, but it is also a history Indian removal from their traditional lands. Indians lost their lands through by purchase, war, disease and even extermination, but many transfers of Indian land were formalized by treaty. The Constitution of 1789 empowered Congress to "regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes. Federal policy regarded each tribe as a sovereign entity capable of signing binding treaties with the United States government. In the first 40 years of the new republic, the United States signed multiple treaties with Indian tribes which usually followed a basic pattern: the signatory tribe withdrew to a prescribed reservation and in return the Federal Government promised to provide supplies, food, and often an annuity. In 1830, Congress chose to disregard Indian treaty guarantees when it passed the Indian Removal Act, a bill engineered by President Andrew Jackson. Despite its language suggesting a voluntary and fair "exchange" of lands, the act opened the door for the militias of trans-Appalachian and southern states to simply drive the Indians across the Mississippi by force. The Indians destination was to be an "Indian Territory" set aside west of Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas.
if you want hecka points for best answer HELP ME OUT!
i wish i could give points to all of y'all that helped me :) all of u guys helped a lot.
Answer:
Basically,
In the Beginning, the Europeans ran off, killed or laid waste to the Indian population. The Indians couldn't handle the European diseases, so they died.
Then the Europeans said,"hey, let's make this 'legal'. We'll sign these treaties and give you these pieces of land. We'll make a deal with each individual tribe." The Indians said, "OK"
Then the Europeans said, "hey, we'll give you food, supplies, and some cash. You just give us the land we let you have." The Indians said,"ok"
Then in 1830, Congress decided to ignore the treaties. They said, "hey, we're going to REMOVE you to this designated area in the West. It's land just as good as what you have now, but it's out west." The Indians said, "um, no thanks". Then the Americans said,"sorry, go quietly, or in front of a gun. YOU ARE GOING." (Hence the Trail of Tears walked by the Cherokee from their homes to their reservation).
The Indians were forcibily settled in the "Indian Territory".

FRENCH FINAL TOMORROW
Last sunday, my friend Charlie and I went to the mall to visit some friends at Abercrombie. Charlie is an old friend who has blond hair, blue eyes and is very tall and attractive. He is currently in University of Iowa but he also went to GBN High school three years ago. When he was a senior in high school, he was a little immature. actually he was very annoying. However, he became nicer and more friendly.
We visited Abercrombie and Fitch because I used to work there, so I knew a lot of people. in fact, my best friend worked there as well. While we were there, my good friend Kamilla joined us. Kamilla ia a very tall girl with brown hair and green eyes. We decided to go to Chicago to Andrew's house. Two more girls came - Gaby and Kara - and we drove for 30 minutes to go to Andrew's. At midnight, we went to Sphinx and c'etait super. I got home at like 3 o'clock, and it was very tiring.
Answer:
Le dimanche dernier, mon ami Charlie et moi, nou sommes allés aux galeries pour rendre visite aux quelques amis à Abercrombie.
Charlie est un vieil ami qui a de cheveaux blonds, les yeux bleus et il est très grand et attirant. Il va actuallement à l'université d'Iowa mais, il est allé aussi au lycée GBN il y a trois ans. Quand il était dans la dernière année, il était un peu immature, en fait, il était très ennuyant.
Pourtant, il est devenu plus sympa est plus amical.
On a visité Abercrombie et Fitch parce-que j'y travaillais, donc j'ai connu beacoup de personnes. En fait, ma (or mon) meilleur(e) ami(e) y travaillait aussi. Pendant qu'on etait là, ma bonne amie Kamila s'est rejoint avec nous. Kamila est une fille très grande, elle a les cheveaux marrons et les yeux verts. On a décidé aller à Chicago chez Andrew. Deux filles de plus (Gaby and Kara) sont venues et nous avons conduit pendant trente minutes pour arriver chez Andrew. À minuit, on est allé au sphynx, c'etait super. Je suis rentré(e) chez moi vers 3h, c'etait très fatigant

Why did Clinton pardon these people.?
Answer:
All presidents pardon people including Bush who has pardoned rapist.
Most presidents, including Clinton, never gave a pardon or anything else, to a person from his staff that was convicted of making false statements and Obstruction of justice! Clinton didn't even know the people, much less have him be a member of the white house staff! We know who leaked the name anyway. It was George Bush!
The only one I can recall is when Ford pardoned Nixon, and that cost him a presidency!
Lets see how many people Bush pardons his last day's in office!

Question:
Republicans and Conservatives Endorsing Barack
Fri, 10/17/2008 - 12:45am — John Martin
Here's a recap of some of the biggest Republicans, Republicans-turned-independents, and conservatives who have come out to support Barack for President.
If you know of any we've missed, please post it!
Elected Officials:
Jim Leach, Former Congressman from Iowa
"For me, the national interest comes before party concerns, particularly internationally. We do need a new direction in American policy, and Obama has a sense of that."
Lincoln Chafee, Former United States Senator from Rhode Island
"As I look at the candidates in order who to vote for, certainly my kind of conservatism was reflected with Senator Obama, and those points are that we're fiscally conservative, we care about revenues matching expenditures, we also care about the environment, I think it's a traditional conservative value to care about clean air and clean water."
William Weld, Former Governor of Massachusetts
"It's not often you get a guy with his combination of qualities, chief among which I would say is the deep sense of calm he displays, and I think that's a product of his equally deep intelligence."
Arne Carlson, Former Governor of Minnesota
"I think we have in Barack Obama the clear possibility of a truly great president. I would contend that it's the most important election of my lifetime."
Wayne Gilchrest, Congressman from Maryland
"We can't use four more years of the same kind of policy that's somewhat haphazard, which leads to recklessness."
Charles Mathias, Former United States Senator and Congressman from Maryland
"My decision is based on the long-range needs of our country and which of these two candidates I feel is better suited to recharge America's economic health, restore its prestige abroad and inspire anew all people who cherish freedom and equality. For me, that person is Barack Obama."
Larry Pressler, Former Senator from South Dakota
"I just got the feeling that Obama will be able to handle this financial crisis better, and I like his financial team of [former Treasury Secretary Robert] Rubin and [former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul] Volcker better."
Richard Riordan, Former Mayor of Los Angeles
"I'm still a Republican, but I still will always vote for the person who I think will do the best job."
Lowell Weicker, Former Governor and Senator from Connecticut
"At issue is not the partisan politics of two parties, rather the image we have of ourselves as Americans. Senator Obama brings wisdom, kindness, and common sense to what is both his and our quest for a better America."
Claudine Schneider, Former Congressman from Rhode Island
Harris Fawell, Former Congressman from Illinois
Jim Whitaker, Fairbanks, Alaska Mayor
"If we are as a nation concerned with energy, then our consideration should be a national energy policy that is not predicated on crude oil 50 years into the future. We need to get to it, and I think Barack Obama is very clear in that regard."
William Milliken, Former Governor of Michigan
Phil Arthurhultz, Former Michigan State Senate Majority Leader
"I think he has the ability to bring America back as Reagan's 'shining city on the hill' as a beacon of hope to people."
Linwood Holton, Former Governor of Virginia
"Obama has a brain, and he isn't afraid to use it."
Columnists and Academics:
Jeffrey Hart, National Review Senior Editor
"It turns out that these political parties are not always either liberal or conservative, Democratic or Republican. The Democrat, under certain conditions, can be the conservative."
Andrew Bacevich, Professor of International Relations at Boston University
"For conservatives, Obama represents a sliver of hope. McCain represents none at all. The choice turns out to be an easy one."
David Friedman, Economist and son of Milton and Rose Friedman
"I hope Obama wins. President Bush has clearly been a disaster from the standpoint of libertarians and conservatives because he has presided over an astonishing rise in government spending."
Christopher Buckley, Son of National Review founder William F. Buckley & former NR columnist
"Obama has in him-- I think, despite his sometimes airy-fairy 'We are the people we have been waiting for' silly rehtoric-- the potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader. He is, it seems clear enough, what the historical moment seems to be calling for."
Andrew Sullivan, Columnist for the Atlantic Monthly
"Obama's legislative record, speeches, and the way he has run his campaign reveal, I think, a very even temperament, a very sound judgment, and an intelligent pragmatism. Prudence is a word that is not inappropriate to him."
Wick Alison, Former publisher of the National Review
"I made the maximum donation to John McCain during the primaries, when there was still hope he might come to his senses. But I now

What high school has the best plaers currently in college football?
Question:
If we were to rate the number one HS football program based on what college players they have produced, who would be tops....I am talking just current college players.
I will throw one out there......
Warren Central HS (Indianapolis IN)
Desmond Tardy (WR-Purdue-SR) - 30Rec 448Yds 2TD
Jerimy Finch (S-Indiana-SO)- 6Tackles 2BlkKick
Jeff Boyd (DT-Indiana-RSFR) - 1Tackle
Chris Adkins (CB-Indiana-RSFR) - 22Tackles 2TFL 1FF 1BU
Andrew McDonald (OL-Indiana-RSFR)
Darren Evans (RB-ViginiaTech-RSFR) - 415Yds 8TD
Jewel Hampton (RB-Iowa-FR) - 268Yds 5TD
Adrien Robinson (TE-Cincinnatti-RSFR) - 1Rec 12Yds
Dexter Taylor (RB-W.Kentucky-SO) - 144Yds
Jacob McLaurin (OL-W.Kentucky-SO)
Jason Onyebuagu (OL-N.Illinois-JR) 2YR Starter
Andre Hatchett (OLB-E.Michigan-JR)
Chris Graham (MLB-Michigan-SR) - 2Yr Starter
No Current Heismen Hopefulls, but in about Two Years....Look Out
Answer:
Raymore-Peculiar High School (Peculiar, Missouri)
WR Chase Coffman (TE-Missouri-SR) - 4 Year Starter
Derrick Washington (RB-Missouri-SO) 1st year starter
Carson Coffman (QB-K State-RS/SO) 3 yr Backup to Josh Freeman
Clyde Aufner (OT-K State-FR) - 1 Yr Starter
Terry Dennis (WR-Missouri-FR) Back-Up
Thomas Hodges (RB - MO Western- JR) 3 Year starter
LB Levi Thompson (DE-Alabama State-JR) 3 year starter
Brandon Wright (SS - Arkansas State - JR) 3 year starter
Not the best. But The first four are. Went to school with all of them. Chase will be one hell of a tight end in the NFL. I can't wait for this years draft. Washington will too in a couple years.
Predictions
Chase Coffman - 2nd Round- 2009 NFL Draft
Derrick Washington - 4th Round - 2011 NFL Draft
Clyde Aufner - 3rd/4th Round - 2011 NFL Draft
Rest won't get in the NFL unless Carson has a break out record breaking Heisman trophy winning season after Freeman leaves... And it depends if Freeman leaves after this season or not. If he does... Carson has two years to form something. If not, I doubt he gets in.
