And what war might this be, and should we care?

I can hardly breathe for laughing.

Do you people in America even read the news when it has nothing to do with Britney Spears's knikerless bottom? The war in Iraq right now was based on lies told by an Iraqi asylum seaker

Typical republican, right-wing behaviour Amardeep: don’t deal with the issue but find a way to discredit anyone who brings it up. It doesn’t matter what the background of this person is.

Did Romney say that he would not consider a Muslim advisor? It appears that he did. That speaks volumes about him and his (typically) misguided ideas about the state of the world today. Why would he dissmiss out of hand the possibility of a muslim advisor? That’s the worrying thing in this issue. By just focusing on the background of the questioner you’re doing a real disservice. First rule of debate: don’t attack your opponent, attack his argument.

"But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."

This is the part of Romney's quote that really leaves me scratching my head. I don't have the context so maybe there's a reason for this, but as it stands, I don't get it. Is he saying it's OK for Muslims to do grunt work but not call the shots? Seriously, what does this mean?

I was too cryptic, Murali. Romney’s pandering I understand. What I find creepy is that Amardeep’s first instinct is to slime Ijaz.

You mean, are we in the midst of an Islamophobe, iow ?

amardeep called into question Ijaz's motives which according to his past actions are at the very least questionable and IMHO suspect. There is no reason for him to apologize for providing evidence of a person's questionable character.

Anyone watching the YouTube debate on CNN? This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen on TV. This has got to be a joke? You cant even see the debaters because there is a giant graph covering the whole damn screen. What purpose does a graph comparing the amount of applause between men and women do for me?

Shallow thinker@40, Though not live, this link shows you the responses of the candidates without the graphs
