Re: Political Motivation
You know, the last I heard a rather large segment of the voting-age population of the US was deprived said right due to an array of circumstances involving the law enforcement system...
And given that the last time I checked the US had per capita more people in prison alone than the next three or so states put together...

Moral outrage at the fact that inmates in the US can't vote?
Slightly more than one in a hundred, or so I recall. Even if they were all democrats they wouldn't have changed the outcome.

They are not chemical weapons , they are target markers , you set the people on fire so they are easy to identify and shoot .Haha, the funniest bit is that they're using WMD's(in the form of chemical weapons) in the current Iraq war...
Anyhow strictly speaking it isn't a war in Iraq so none of those rules apply .
Just as it isn't an occupation so none of those rules apply either .
If however someone finally does confirm the obvious and calls it a civil war then the coilitions gets to stand on really dodgy ground (rather than just being stuck in a really dodgy situation up to their necks with no way out) .

I'm kind of reminded of The Onion's country-fact box on Iraq... "Primary cause of death: Victory"

Re: Political Motivation
Between the absurdity of the War on Drugs, certainly one of the single largest US social disasters since slavery, and the reckless and mindless stupidities of Three Strikes Your Out, mandatory minimums, and for-profit incarceration, I'm surprised the entire adult population 18 to 35 isn't locked up.
