my guess is that they didn't want to have to move too many teams from league to the other and that they wanted to allign the Divisions by location . Teams in the East are in the East Divisions etc....

how did we lose to the Expos? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

They used too. They were called the Washington Senators. there were two Washington Senators. The 1st moved to Minnasota and was renamed the twins. After that. and new exspansion was created in Washington also called the Senators. They moved aways as well and became the Texas Rangers. It would be nice see Baseball return to our nation's capital but not at the cost of Montreal lossing it team. I never want to see another city through that again.

ok I'm sorry I overacted. It is just that as I said before I am proud American and I take 911 very personally. People who lived in my town died in the attack. A person my brother went to highschool with died in the attack. I watched the buildings fall live on tv. I guess seeing somthing like that effects you. If I offended anyone with my comments I'm sorry. Don't worry I won't be leaving the forums .

you people are really offending me. I don't know that I even want to continue posting at this forum after reading some of that. Saddam no worse than Bush? that's bullshit!! Bush is a bad President(not for much longer I hope) but Saddam is an evil murdering dictator. there is no comparison.

Point out to me in the Constitution where is says that the President can't attack Iraq. I know it says that the Congress declares wars, but it names the President commander and chief of the armed forces. So the question is what can the Presdent do with the military without the Congress declaring war? I don't know. Its hard to say. But Presidents have been doing it since Korea.

Motti, the Twin towers were not a Military target. They were a place where over 3,000 civilians worked. CIVILIANS!!!!!! that really offended me, Motti, please don't try to justify that kind of mass murder, you can't. The people who commited the attacks were sick evil murderers pure and simple. And it offends me when you suggest that the USA is somehow deserving of that kind of attack. The 3000 people who were killed didn't deserve it pure and simple!

Shim, first you complain about how The U.S. didn't do anything about Hitler until we were attacked, that we did nothing while he began to murder Jews. Now you want us to do nothing while Saddam Murders his own people. You can't have it both ways.

Is the Ira evil and should they be taken down? yes But they havn't attacked us yet, they don't continue to threaten to attack us. I'm not against Great Britian going after the Ira. It is just that Al-qaeda attacked us and is threatening to do it again and therefor they take priority over the IRA (for the USA that is). And I am unaware of any connection between the IRA and the USA.

As for that Video. It is tragic. But How do we know that those were casualties caused by the US. They could have been caused by the terrorist attacks going on there. For all we know, half of those pictures could have been taken outside of Iraq. I am also sure that you can find simular pictures from Berlin after the Allies bombed it and from France after D-DAY. But does that make D-Day, and the Bombing of Berlin wrong? No because Hitler had to be stopped.

If we set Hitler up. are we wrong to take him down. Point is, is that if a dictator/terrorist group etc needs to be taken down, it is irelevant how they came to be. They still need to be taken down. If you want to say the USA was wrong to set up Al-qaeda, and Saddam fine. But that doesn't mean that the USA is wrong for taking them down.

I would ask all those who think we were wrong for attacking afganistan. To tell me what we should have done. And keep in mind that we don't have time machines to go back in time and stop ourselves from setting Al-qaeda up. Al-qaeda is here no matter how much we now regret helping them in the past, they are still here and are a threat. What in hell are we supposed to do?!? Tell me!

I really have to give deep thought as to weither or not I want to continue being a poster on this forum after reading the anti-american statments made here. I'm sorry and this is not about Bush (who hopfully will lose the next election) I am a proud American and your statements have hurt me

I don't know much about what we did to help Al-Qaeda back in the 80s . Even if we, does that mean we are supposed to nothing when they attack us? As for how we would a 911 happening to the Ussr in the 80's. How would the Ussr have reacted if a 911 had happened to the USA also back in the 80's. Also how would we react to a 911 happening to Germany in the 1930's?

The point is this what nation is the world is not going to go after a terrorist group that attacks it? Are you going to tell me that if Al-Qaeda flew planes into building in Paris that france would not go after them? come on.

oh, and don't confuse me Chaltab. I am no Bush yes-man.

maybe because the IRA didn't fly Airplanes into buildings and kill over 3000 people

the strike against afghanistan was pure and simple revenge with a shitload of overkill...

the invasion of iraq is unjustified and unconstitutional...


Motti, what were we supposed to do, let 911 go unpunished? I understand your position on Iraq. But you can't be against going after Bin Laden. Was Afghanistan revenge? yeah so? 3000 inocent people were killed, the nation is stll fearfull of another attack, And Afghanistan was harboring the bastards. We had to do somthing. Also may Iraq is unjustified but how is it unconstitutional?
