US Presidential Debate

Even Mr Clinton is not a good guy, but he was a successful president.
Monday night's CNN Democrat presidential debate for the first time used video questions submitted by the public via the Web site YouTube.
YouTube, another great internet business.
The result: A serious question on global warming asked by a snowman, another on gun control asked by a man cradling his "baby" --- an automatic rifle --- and some unique questions some candidates may have never heard before.
You can attend the debate even you are just a little kid.
CNN will host a YouTube debate for Republican presidential candidates on Sept. 17.
Despite the democratization of the format, some people online criticized CNN for screening the questions, instead of allowing people to vote for the questions they wanted asked.
Former Black Hawk County Democrats chairman E.J. Gallagher III, who watched the debate at Monica's Piano Bar at an event organized by the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, said he enjoyed the format and the serious questions asked.
Anyway, it is just a show.
Nick Powers of Waterloo was concerned that candidates outside the top-tier would be given the short shrift, but in the end, those at Monica's thought all the candidates were given nearly equal time.
Current county Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Sass agreed that organizers did a good job of including all the candidates.
USA, a big show state for all of us.
But she sees room for improvement: Sass thought CNN should have given all candidates the same questions and the same amount of time to answer, all the while switching up the order in which candidates answer.
In fact, she plans on implementing those rules for the presidential debate hosted at Waterloo West High School in October.
Of the 3,000 questions submitted, 39 made the cut, including one from a pair of Iowa brothers, Mark and Joel Strauss of Davenport.
They were beamed across the nation when they asked about Alzheimer's disease as part of a montage of questions about health care.

know more of Taleban

The world first became aware of the Taleban in 1994 when they were appointed by Islamabad to protect a convoy trying to open up a trade route between Pakistan and Central Asia.
Now, Taleban is fomous all over the world.
But, how much do you know about Taleban?
The group - comprised of Afghans trained in religious schools in Pakistan along with former Islamic fighters or mujahedin - proved effective bodyguards, driving off other mujahedin groups who attacked and looted the convoy.
They went on to take the nearby city of Kandahar, beginning a remarkable advance which led to their capture of the capital, Kabul, in September 1996.
The Taleban's popularity with many Afghans initially surprised the country's warring mujahedin factions.
As ethnic Pashtuns, a large part of their support came from Afghanistan's Pashtun community, disillusioned with existing ethnic Tajik and Uzbek leaders.
But it was not purely a question of ethnicity. Ordinary Afghans, weary of the prevailing lawlessness in many parts of the country, were often delighted by Taleban successes in stamping out corruption, restoring peace and allowing commerce to flourish again.
Their refusal to deal with the existing warlords whose rivalries had caused so much killing and destruction also earned them respect.
The Taleban said their aim was to set up the world's most pure Islamic state, banning frivolities like television, music and cinema.
Their attempts to eradicate crime have been reinforced by the introduction of Islamic law including public executions and amputations.
A flurry of regulations forbidding girls from going to school and women from working quickly brought them into conflict with the international community.
Such issues, along with restrictions on women's access to health care, have also caused some resentment among ordinary Afghans.
The Taleban now control all but the far north of the country, which is the last stronghold of the ethnic Tajik commander Ahmed Shah Masood.
With 90% of the country under their control, the Taleban have continued to press claims for international recognition.
But the Afghan seat at the United Nations continues to be held by former President Burhanuddin Rabbani.
The UN sanctions which have now been imposed on the country make it even less likely that the Taleban will gain that recognition.
The sanctions are intended to force the Taleban to hand over the Saudi-born militant Osama Bin Laden, who is accused by the United States of plotting the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed more than 250 people.
The Taleban say that Osama Bin Laden is a guest in their country, and they will not take action against him.
Afghanistan has suffered 20 years of war, and this year has brought the worst drought in decades.
