No. There were rumors Bono would go to Iraq, but the rumors were refuted by U2's PR people and Bono never went to Iraq. When the war began, U2 issued no statement for or against what was happening. Various band members did, however, quietly take part in anti-war marches and demonstrations in Ireland.

I do not plan on voting for or against any US legislation not directly related to Texas Independence. The US war in Iraq is not a Texas problem it is a US problem. The US has a history of invading sovereign nations and Texas is one of them. Texas National Guard troops should immediately be released from US conscription by the Governor.

We oppose the War in Iraq, both because it was embarked upon (like every other U.S. war since the Second World War) without a constitutionally-mandated declaration of war, and because it is an offensive, not a defensive war, aimed at the subjugation of a foreign regime that posed no threat to us.

For shows with an announced 7:30 start time, U2 typically takes the stage at about 9:00 pm, give or take 10 minutes. The show usually runs about 2:00 to 2:15. The opening act will take the stage right at the listed start time, and play for about 40-45 minutes.

Reminds me of the movie ‘Fatal Attraction.’ We thought we could ‘hit-and-quit-it’ but she keeps coming around she keeps coming around and boiling our bunnies. There is a thoughtful analogy in there somewhere. If you keep looking you will find it, and so will I.

The 3rd leg of the tour began September 12 in Toronto. Dates are available here on U2tours.com using the two drop-down menus above -- SEARCH ALL TOURS and SEARCH CURRENT TOUR. The 4th leg of tour will begin in February, visiting Mexico and South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

It is safe region. There were never problems regarding terrorism in Elbrus area (Baksan Valley). MinVody is less safe because of airport but normally no reason to stay there more than 10 minutes. Look at our web info site www.elbrus.org You can find there our common position about safety in region (F.A.Q. section), current events (in News section) and comments from us and from people in Forum section. Elbrus area is a ski resort.

That's not very likely. But it is true that Bono has expressed interest in hip-hop, here's what he had to say: I happen to be in really a truly great band, and experimentation has been the lifeblood of this band. We of course will look and are looking across at hip-hop and see the amazing innovation in the studio... It's interesting to see that Rick Rubin will most likely produce the new album, Rubin is known for his work with rap artists.

Bono felt he had blown it, shot U2 in the head in front of the whole world. Back in Ireland, he just drove around for days, unable to communicate with anyone. He kept thinking about the millions dying of starvation and wondered what he was doing performing in something as banal as a rock 'n' roll band. As he travelled around the Irish countryside, he met a sculptor, an older man who knew very little about music.

After Vietnam war there had been formed an unofficial militia underground army of former soldiers who were against the USA 'system' and its 'mosquitoes.' These people, like legendary Rambo, returning back home, felt their human dignity challenged even more. There will be another anti-USA government movement, which eventually will be demolished, as it happened to former USSR after Afghan war.

Yes, but only if we have the will to really do it, ruthlessly and unapologetically, slaughtering masses of the enemy. Of which I see little evidence. Phooey. And even if it was, so what? We need oil, don't we? Stealing is of course bad. There are degrees of badness, though; and stealing oil from Saddam Hussein is of a degree so low it barely registers with me. Better the stuff should be enriching American capitalists (very nice people, most of them) than building Saddam a sixteenth palace.

I never supported war. I supported and yes, continue to support the liberation of oppressed people - by force if necessary. Here´s why: It´s just an opinion, and if you don´t fault me for it, I won´t fault you for disagreeing with me. By supporting the spread of democracy in the Middle East, I thought I was supporting peace.

The issue is not about whether you support the war or not. The GI Bracelet is about supporting our troops and their families. The children and the families of the injured and fallen need more financial help than most of us realize. Let's support them in their time of need.

Depending on your field of expertise and the needs of the program, you could be assigned to any area/province in Iraq.

In 1991, when a bootleg of U2's studio sessions called The New U2 (the first version of what would eventually become the Salom? bootleg) was being distributed, Island Records took out a full-page ad in the British publication Music Week warning record stores that the label would "take legal proceedings" against anyone selling the bootlegs. U2 manager Paul McGuinness issued a press statement saying the bootleggers were cheating fans by distributing inferior material.

A Baghdad Diary is simply a blank journal. Each starts its journey as a stack of raw materials which are hand-bound into a diary by A Concerned Citizen. Each diary represents a member of the military who has lost their life in Iraq, and each carries a dedication to that person on the first page of the diary.

A mix of military personnel, FBI, CIA, and private contractors have been involved in interrogating prisoners. The Fay-Jones investigation suggests that private contractors were involved in some of the worst incidents at Abu Ghraib.

If our Secretary of Defense is unaware of the sales of biological materials to a country with which we are about to go to war, or if he is in denial over the fact that these sales occurred, the AGWVA believes that he represents a clear and present danger to the lives of our military, our country, and the American people, and should be considered a very serious threat to the national security. It is for this reason that the AGWVA calls for his resignation and removal from office."

Mr. Lem's war experiences and their influence on his perception of chance and coincidence are quite well discussed in his autobiographical essay. More on this topic in the volumes A Perfect Vacuum, Imaginary Magnitude and other apocryphal works. Mr. Lem always preferred "astronauts" to "cosmonauts".

But, are we not members of the United Nations, and does not the United Nations' Charter authorize UN wars and other military actions? It wasn't illegal by their standards, surely! Your second sentence is correct. Korea, Haiti, Somalia, Macedonia, the Congo, etc., were not illegal by UN standards. Here's the problem, which only the Supreme Court can answer today, the Founding Fathers no longer being available.

I capture a performance of a friend's band and encapsulate it with faux CD artwork, etc. Fun for all. I saw a job posting which mentioned being in Paradise. I asked for details and this is what I received. Eivissa Communications Organization, ECO, is pleased to offer you links to other related resources on the net.

First, CFS is not a precise, well-defined clinical disorder and is unsuitable as an entity to evaluate a diagnostic test. Second, the controls used were i) children from the same town which experienced a CFS outbreak; ii) friends of CFS patients; and iii) adults working out at a local gym.

The first dinosaur appears in the fossil record about 225 million years ago, and the last (except for birds) became extinct around 65 million years ago. During the intervening 160 million years many species of dinosaurs appeared and then became extinct. For example, the large sauropods were common during the Jurassic period but most had disappeared by the Cretaceous period.

The Flag Code [see below] states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." It is an unreasonable stretch to argue that the political purposes constitute "dire distress." We recommend that people who wish to express their political views find a way to do so that is respectful of the flag.

None! For chrissakes. This is like asking if the bangles in the cake's icing are better than the mustard. (Who asked this question anyhow?) Even if we were the bangles (we are not), we would look like crap without the icing. If we were the mustard (we are not), we would taste like crap minus the lollipop. And so on.

you every know, the defeat of the Ira q regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of every American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to start the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short.

I oppose the war in Iraq, like I oppose any war. I am a conscientious objector after all. But nope, I have nothing against the US. I went to the US many many times. I have great friends there. I have my opinion about the current US foreign policy and the current US administration as a whole, though.

The Syrian regime supported Saddam’s regime to the extreme of presenting the ex-Iraqi Information Minister ‘Sahhaf’ as the formal reliable media source for the war. The Syrian Baath media showed Saddam’s regime victorious and relayed on Sahaf’s speeches. When Baghdad fell to the Coalition forces, the Syrian regime was shocked and restricted its media from presenting any news related to Saddam’s defeat for a while.

Joshua Expeditions always monitors the State Department Travel Advisories. Many groups have continued their travel plans successfully prior to, during and after the events of 9/11 and the conflict in Iraq. All report safe airport conditions and favorable response to Americans traveling abroad. Safety measures have been so drastically improved for airports that our children are probably safer now than they ever have been. Ultimately, safety rests only in the hands of God.
