Welcome

We like to discuss everything. Everything includes current events, law, politics, economics, sports, religion and philosophy. There are plenty of websites and blogs all over the internet where these issues are discussed; however, we are attempting to create one where opposing arguments are displayed together and the point of view is not already predetermined. On this blog we will make an attempt to allow the reader to form his/her own opinion. Comments and discussion are encouraged as we believe that friendly debate is the best way to learn. The goal of such conversations, therefore, should be to educate oneself rather than to prove others wrong. So enjoy the posts and let's discuss, not argue.

The Bush Legacy

torture.jpg Torture: Yes We Did image by vawolf1974

There've been a plethora of Blogs, Op-Eds, and articles such as this Time piece popping up all over the internet calling for legal action against President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and other high-ranking members considered authors of The Bush Doctrine. "The United States of America does not torture," Bush told us with as straight a face as he can achieve. But that was clearly a lie, and the atrocities that have (and probably are) taking place in Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and most recently at Bagram, Afghanistan (discussed in this Time article) are stains on America that will outlive the Bush Presidency if the next Administration does not address the situation.
