Not surprised. This is what Bush wanted. Everyone knew that if Saddam was tried in Iraq, they'd sentence him to death.

Things are just going to get worse now. I don't care what people say...this war is turning into another Vietnam. We're going to be stuck in Iraq for ages now.

Turning into? It is. The insergents have taken over the country. Civil war has broken out, ad all Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Rice can do is either change talking points or blame the Democrats for everything that has went south.

The person who is elected president in two years will win because of whatever solid plan he/she has fro Iraq, more than anything else.

I think it will be just like Vietnam w/in the next year or 2 (definitely before Bush leaves). All the signs point to it anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to reinstate the draft soon. Nobody in their right mind is going to willingly join the military now. They're running out of reserves. And w/ the death rates contining to rise, there's just no other option.

It's unfortunate b/c at times I don't think my generation cares at all. We're all apathetic to what's going on in this country and the world. They refused to vote in 2004...where they could have made a huge difference in the outcome. But if they reinstate the draft, it's my generation that suffers the most. People really need to wake up and realize how awful things have become in this 5 years since 9/11.

IA 1000%. It just seems like we are so lazy that we will believe whatever we hear. I agree with you about it being another Vietnam. I was a little boy when Vietnam ended, but now as a grwon man nearing 40, I just can't believe that it is happening once again. The next 6 years will be every important to the future of this country, and it all starts Tuesday. It's time to send a message to everyone in D.C. that we have had it with partisan politics and all the buck-passing going on there. I'm especially sick and tired of no one taking any responsibility for anything. And we are the ones that are suffering.

I really feel for our troops. The hell they must be going through because of the sillinessof the current admin. It just makes you sick.

That makes me so upset. On my 18th birthday, the first thing I did was register to vote. I will not waste my vote at all. Too many people had to suffer just so I could have the right to vote and I will not let their hard work be in vain. There is absolutely no reason not to. On election day, my mom I woke up early and we were one of the first to vote. If I stand for something, I'm going to be behind it 100%.

    • I thought my ears were hearing things wrong when I was working and listening to the show. But Lucky is leaving again already

      . Please at this point don’t bring him back again. 
    • Did Carrie say her son was graduating from high school, or college, and that's why he and Austin couldn't make the trip to Salem? Does that mean Carrie's son is currently the same age as Sami's granddaughter?  That's one nutty family….
    • Exactly this. I don't watch Days but on Y&R the lack of sets is directly cutting off story possibilities. 
    • I just meant because Drake and Wayne are very different actors at least from the clips that I’ve seen. Even with time between the two actors, it’s still a major role and love interest being recast. So I still stand by my question of I wonder how people in the 80’s felt when Drake took over as Roman. I defintely agree with Tomas and Derek being recast long before Ted.
    • Couldn’t have summed it up better myself. Truly unbelievable Sami of all people will have no parts of John’s death or memorial.    Also strange it appears neither Claire is being brought back? But somehow we got Chelsea of all people for Victor’s funeral.
    • Days actually has a hospital and police station. You get sick and get treatment off camera on Y&R. Chance solves his cases at Crimson lights. You also ignored there’s the Bistro, the newspaper, Titan, DiMera. Complaining about the Salem Inn when multiple people on Y&R regularly just used the same GCAC hotel rooms. But you have your opinion and I have mine. I’m going to agree to disagree and move on as you tend to get condescending when trying to prove a point.
    • I hadn’t considered Leo’s connection to Diana and The Spectator, so I appreciated that they circled back to close that loop. I have something of a blind spot regarding the period around Leo’s introduction. As a result, I’ve never quite reconciled that his mother is supposed to be Genie Francis’s Diana. I may quibble with recent episodes, but more often than not my reaction has been, “They think of everything.” Separating the art from the artist, as it were, Jennifer’s hair and outfit were remarkably chic. It’s hard to believe the same people were responsible for dressing both Hope and Jennifer this week. Some may disagree (though they would be mistaken), but Jennifer’s blunt haircut and her dress, modest yet genuinely flattering, looked far more modern than Hope in that gaudy Chanel knockoff.
    • So Kim Zimmer had beef with a rookie in both her original run and her return run. 1987 Kim Zimmer was 32 and Michelle Forbes was 22. 1995 Kim Zimmer was 40 and Cynthia Watros was 27. Aging star having her shine stolen by a rookie 10 years younger and a rookie 13 years younger, not surprised there was beef. I wonder if there was any beef between Kim Zimmer and Beverlee McKinsey.
    • Not only that, I never realized they had ever shown Tony and Annabelle's kid. I assume those scenes were Bea's swan song. Even though these episodes are now in a period when I had been watching the show regularly, I noticed this viewing a wildly obvious shift in tone from episodes broadcast a few months before. It puzzled me until I noticed Pam Long was no longer listed as head writer, only Jeff Ryder. I gotta say, it's jarring how much certain characters--mostly women--have suddenly changed. It's like a demon took over Claire's body since she gave birth. Reva and Roxy are so manic it's hard to watch them. I think this is when Reva started to really annoy me. I could take her or leave her before.  Don't even get me started on how stupid Alex has become. I don't think DNA tests were easily available quite yet, but that she accepted Simon without thoroughly investigating the story he told her about his mother is unbelievable, even though she is vulnerable because of Lujack's death. Whatever flaws Long had, she did write women as much more complex and believable. 
    • The final season had a darkness and sadness surrounding everything and it was painful to get through. There were times I was like "make it make sense". Sign of the times. Hired on the cheap to fill both the good mother role and family conscience role.  Did the writers really think that 25 years later (going by real time) the audience wouldn't notice the dust off of The Sound of Music?
