Perhaps, but the responsibility lies with the state governments, not the federal government. Thats why I don't care about federal education funding. It is NOT THEIR JURISDICTION. My state government should budget accordingly.

Yes, 2 days would be unrealistic, but it's now been over a year since "major combat operations" were over.

Indeed. When we consider that World War I and World war II and the Vietnam War and the War for Independence and the War of 1812 all took longer than one year, I really don't see why people are crying over "not making enough progress."

It's good that the Iraqi police etc are taking over in some areas.
But things like this, which seem to be happening on a regular basis, are not good.

I don't see how that is a "mess." And I certainly don't see how that relates to Bush. South Africa has a lot of crime too. It is a local problem.

Ah, the NY Post....Mr Murdoch's print equivalent of Fox News....
I found this quite funny regarding a recent NYP "exclusive".
As for Afghanistan....
The survey was of only 804 people.

Did you miss this part?
The polling firm, Charney Research, is a partisan Democratic polling firm. And superstar Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who's read the study ††and who has worked on similar polling in developing countries ††calls it "very reliable."

It's good that the Taliban are not in power (I was going to say "...are gone", but they haven't gone really), & Karzai is apparently a good president. But the rest of the country outside Kabul is apparently still a nightmare, what with the warlords (no better than the Taliban), & the Taliban. And aid agencies such as MSF pulling out, due to the situation, doesn't help.

However, the majority of people are happy, and pleased that the Taliban is no longer in power. Are you not?

Apparently it wouldn't have looked good if she had stood for the 2004 nomination, as she is still only in her 1st 6 year term in the US Senate.
Although if she had run, she would have been very popular.

Popular, with who? Foreigners, Europeans, and liberals? Do you really think people will vote for the "bitch?"

Back to Education, Jerrek Do you really think the goverment shouldnt pay for education using taxs? Doesnt that screw the poor hugely?

We're discussing the
federal election and how it relates to education. So, No. No, the federal government should NOT be spending money on education. It is not in Congress's job description in the Constitution, and all the powers NOT listed is reserved to the 50 Sovereign States.
I do not want the federal government ****ing in my state.
