I heard a report earlier that a little girl that was seen on US news welcoming US troops was found hung as well. Don't have a link... I don't really want one either.

I thought Peurto rico was the 51 state. Canada is 52 and Mexico was 53.

Iraq would be 54.

.....
As far as I know they didn't find a body in the town.

.....

doesn't anybody find the whole Palestine/Isreal thing interesting???

At times I though that there was no way to solve it until they both just got tired of fighting. Now I see that there are some solutions, but a lack of want to inact it.


is that anti-semetic????
pro-islamic???
anti-american????
pro-peace????


Boy I can't wait until I start skinning again... I mean programs like windowblinds, not people.

anti-native/american????

You be the judge. Fair and balanced.

joe:There are people in Jeruslam whose families have lived in the same house since the crusades, who have been forced out to make room for people who feel they have a right to the property based upon their religion. I don't feel any sympathy for the idea that wealthy jewish citizens from the US, England, etc., had the right to claim a 'homeland'.

As a student of history I see a great injustice in how Jewish people were treated throughout history, how the Arabic peoples were treated during the crusades, and how the Palestinian people are being treated now.

Unfortunately the Palestinian people are led by terrorists and criminals, who no longer want peace, they want the business of terror to continue.

Go back and look that the period before the creation of the state of Isreal, look at the agreements that were made. If you think Iraq and such are food for conspiracy theorists, you ain't seen nothing yet. Take a look at the part the UN played in it. A very, very strange period in history.

I'm not anti-semitic, and now that there *is* a ( nuclear ) state of Isreal, I think there always will be. How they treat their neighbors, their palestinian workforce, and the *INTERNATIONAL* city of Jerusalem, will determine what kind of nation they will be. So far, I am no more impressed with them than the other side in the conflict.

Did you guys hear about that car on the border that was told to stop but didn't? The marines killed 7 women and children because they would not stop for inspection. This is getting out of hand.

while spot reading through an english language Quran given to me by a Saudi officer, i found an interesting passage where the various "false religions" are discoursed on. the first to be discussed was Christianity, and the verdict was not too unkind: gross overvaluing of Jesus the prophet, mixed up on this Trinity thing, but overall not too bad a group. then Buddhism, Hinduism, and other eastern religions were discussed, and the language and judgment began to become quite terse. next animism, paganism, and atheism were discussed, and the descriptions and judgment bacame very terse. finally, Judaism was discussed, and i can only describe the words i read as venomous and hate filled, at least in that english translation which Rafah had given me.
i asked him about that passage the next day, and we read it together. i then asked him how someone who accepts that passage at face value would be able to live in peace with a Jewish nation in the vicinity. Rafah al S. then smiled weakly and walked off without giving an answer to the question.

i'm not really meaning to single out one side of the Arab-Israeli conflict and bash in the prev post ( yes, i remember Meyer Kahane dancing through the West Bank streets calling the people up in the buildings dogs). i'm only pointing out that this is a very ancient quarrel which has roots starting many hundreds of years ago, not in 1948. long standing feuds like that can be managed, but it takes incredible, sustained effort by both sides.

BKB...I'm certain some people take a perverse pleasure in being oppressed....repressed.

Get rid of idiot religion and a pre-occupation with fossil fuels and that dump of a desert that is the Middle East would be just a sand-box in the world scheme of things...

I'm tired of the USA trying in vain to appear kind and equitable and decent when it all seems to be for naught and often falls on deaf, ignorant ears. I’m tired of my country having to constantly need a ‘reason’ to do what is ‘right’ in the first FN place. Ignoramuses can ignore the fact that Iraq is a hotbed of ugly evil waiting to explode…and the fact that there WILL be a trickle down effect…and if anything…that effect had already started with the Twin Towers.

I AM gung ho about war if it is for a good cause and people who pansy-ass around like they are so goody-goody can go live in Iraq and see for themselves and come back and report to all the goody-goodies if they live to tell the horrid tale.

Jeezus freakin’ crikey! Some people are so blinded that you make bats look like they have perfect vision!

These scums in Iraq play dirty tactics because they ARE terrorists…the whole regime is one giant sick hotbed of hideous monsters and the Al Queda have been linked to them as well… Is it OUR (the USA) job to rid the world of them? No. BUT…when their sick, deplorable, mindless, brain-washed schemes start tearing down our part of the world…you’re damned straight we will fight to abolish it.

Paxx…you need a political lobotomy… You have the mindset of a total pansy that is only afraid of war because you’d never want to be in one and therefore you just can’t imagine any good reason for one. Good for you. I’m sure nobody would want your sorry arse in a war if you had that attitude anyhow. Growing a set of nads will probably never be on your agenda but it would be nice if you COULD grow a set and be a man.

Jafo –N- Bakerstreet seem to have a realistic view as well as they have a good grasp of things politically and fundamentally on a psychological as well as on a historical/political level.

I lay no claim to knowing everything there is to know about this war…but I’m tired of the rhetoric, propaganda, and BULLSHEET coming from ALL sides.

I’d like to put a bullet in the head of every one of those slimy MF’s who have gassed women and children! Hell! I'd have loved to have been the one to put a nice hot bullet in Hitler's brain too!

what can i say about war......... war is horrible.. i don't want anything to do with it.... as an artist i feel killing each over over an idea is unreasonable and childish for any reason... =/ people that kill are not worth being noticed.... unless of course they kill... and kill... and kill.... for enjoyment.. then of course someone has to prevent them from doing it again.... at least shackle them =P lol tho killing them isn't for us to decide honestly.... im not a religious person, but i do know the judgements and actions we take in this life will reflect apon our very essence through time.

BKB...no...I can distinguish friendly barbs from neurotic rhetoric...
I must admit though, that the US still has a 'thing' for 'gas-guzzlers' and so they should/can, having the lowest petrol prices on the planet.
What irks me somewhat is that BCF extinguishes have been outlawed, due to their CFC content, yet are by far the safest/best extinguishers available.
One of the F1 Toyota's engines was terminally trashed due to the use of Dry Chem, when BCF [BromoChloroDiFluoroMethane] is inert [just because it's a Greenhouse-gas it gets banned]...
Back when it was first banned, Senna was told by Dennis...if there is a fire, stay in the car, then they'll use BCF because it's a life-threatening situation. Hop out and they'll not use it and probably wreck the engine...
