I was about to use the Han/Greedo scene as an example of a preemptive strike. I think if anyone wants to understand the conflict in the middle east, they have to read Now They Call Me Infidel by Nonie Darwish. She reveals the sad truth why bin Laden probably won't be caught but you'll never see any politician (Democrat or Republican) say it because it's very inconvenient.

About global warming. You should get Glenn Beck's An Inconvenient Book .

And why is it that people who are skeptics must be "paid by the oil companies or Bush?" What if some of these so called environmentalists have a hidden agenda of their own.
"PETA doesn't care about people."
Mr. Garrison, South Park
“Climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
“No matter if the science is all phony, there are still collateral environmental benefits (to global warming policies).”
-Christine Stewart, Canada’s former environmental minister
“To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective and being honest.”
Stephen Schneider, 1989. He wrote a report about Global Cooling in the 1970’s and was the lead author of the 2007 UN IPCC report on Global Warming. Could this guy make up his mind?
“Free enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process… Capitalism is destroying the earth.”
Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists
(Note that just because some activist group has a cute name like "People who Care" doesn't mean it should be regarded as an authentic unbiased source. And capitalism means you have the freedom to use exchange money for goods and services and vice versa provided you don’t use force or fraud to obtain it. So how can somebody be exploited if they chose to do something?)
“The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund
(Wouldn’t it be great if this guy actually had to live in a third world country?)
