So let me get this all straight. Hezbullah kidnaps 2 US soldiers.
Gets pounded on by Israel in response.
And SOMEHOW wants to turn the attention on the US.
Now they are basically threatening the US with terror and of course there will still be many LIBS living here in america that say we deserve it. Or that Israel deserves it. Riiiight.
Liberalism HAS to be a mental disorder.
Right up there with Religious Muslim Extremists.
The internet is all abuzz about this Israeli/Hamas/Hezbollah war.
There are some that are just regurgitate constant BS of revolutionary propaganda while sitting at a computer screen whacking off. Talking of Puerto Rico and how it should be free of so called "US imperialism" yet living in the imperialist's nation.
Not to mention constantly Filling themselves with one sided garbage from obviously slanted left wing sites, and views only to further strengthen the thought that there are more like minded individuals in the world.
When presented with facts from any angle they will deny it. They wont accept it, they will call it unfounded sources, they will throw everything they possibly can at it. Just because their views aren't represented by another. Then they go off searching for one that does have their view and tout it as gospel.
This definitely shouldn't be about someone's ego nor should it be about people trying to push their own left wing agendas on others. Information is subjective. You either decide to believe facts presented or you continue to look for someone that will post something along your lines of thinking. Just to make yourself feel better.
The world spoke out against Israel in the 80's when it bomb Iraq. Now it is hailed.
The world spoke out against Northern Lebanon being occupied so Israel concedes the land, only to have itself being attacked from that same land not 5 years later.
It returns areas in Gaza, it gives areas in the west bank and still called a bully.
it doesn't have a right to defend itself at all it seems.
It seems to me that those that constantly profess about Israel being so evil would love it if they were off the planet. If Israelis were again moved from one country to another.
That is what it seems like.
Then you have those that talk of reparations. As though that will solve ANYTHING for those affected. So what native Americans don't pay taxes, that isn't enough the US should give them BILLIONS. Screw it if it reaches the Trillions, They should have it. It call comes down to money. So what the US gives the most foreign aide around the world that doesn't matter the US is evil.
So what that Israel is being bombed from two fronts and has suffering huge losses from suicide bombers daily in the 90's that doesn't matter. They deserved it right? They deserved every death that they have gone through. They are the aggressor here. They are the ones that took Lebanese soldiers and Palestinian soldiers and are holding them hostage in return for a few thousand soldiers.
So what Israel gave 400+ prisoners for the bodies of 4 of its own. That doesn't matter. They should have give them all back. Then following that they shouldn't have stopped at Gaza they should have given back the entire country to Palestine. Its only fair.
Then spread across the globe to different parts of the planet.
Had in WW2 they put them in Argentina like was talked about it would have been bad as well.
Had they put them anywhere on the planet, it would have been wrong.
They should have had to settle on the same grounds where millions of their own where cooked alive in giant ovens. Ohh wait let me guess you lefties (excuse me SUPPER REVOLUTIONARY HYPOCRITES) don't think the holocaust happened. That is right.
Facts speak for themselves. Both sides are guilty in this case of being BRUTAL to each other. Killing of innocents. Israel kills some innocent people they get condemned. Palestinians (HAMAS or Hezbollah kill innocents, those Jews they deserved it. But Israel was NOT the aggressor with this current war. THAT IS A FACT that none in here have accepted. And the cycle continues.
This is perhaps the best representation of what you are seeing from Europe.
Typical. Another reason why I just cant consider myself catholic was displayed by the Vatican infuriate. And you kind of expect this from Chirac but from Putin? The man with such a heavy hand on his own area? He himself is battling his own version of religious extremism and has seen the effects it first hand with chechnyan rebles.
Ohh the hypocrisy of it all.
I am all for spanking a child but WOW. What in the world would warrant this?
Ahh yes you guess it, the religion of Peace is what they call it right. Yet this little girl apparently got her face smashed in by a Imam that saw the little girl ACCIDENTALLY walk on his prayer rug.

It seem almost futile to talk about peace in the middle east.
It seems to be pretty clear that neither side wants peace. At least that is that I get from it.
You have on one side the Palestinians voting in HAMAS as their new leadership, and on the other you have the Israelis which seem to show a lot of restraint but also have short fuses at times. Not to mention Islamic Jihad on one end and Hezbollah to the north.
Seems to be that Israel has EVERY right to protect itself.
After all the Orlando sentinel today FAILED to note in their report that the initial conflict with Lebanon started with 2 Israeli soldiers being captured and taking into Lebanon.
And Contrary to what the Cease Fire listed Hezbollah has OBVIOUSLY not disarmed at all and Lebanon has done little to actually facilitate the disarmament of the terrorist organization.
I liken the actions of Israel to what we did with Afghanistan. We went in and took out the Al-Queda hell hole that was in there and took out the govt that was harboring them as well.
Lets pray that this does not get any further escalation and Israel heeds the cease fire on Lebanon and that it doesn't spread into Syria. However I don't see any clear ending to the current "WAR" in the region.
If these polls are correct then in goes back and feeds exactly what many have been saying.
That the reps are destroying the very values that make them better then the democrats.
It serviced them right for becoming so power hungry as the democrats have.
Now will I vote for a democrat?
Sure as hell would if they follow better principles then the republicans have shown in the last 8 years. I have seen nothing but bloated budges, pork spending and a list of corruption that makes Nixon smile.
The message needs to be sent to all REPUBLICANS that they need to go back to the REAGAN MODEL. Conservative on spending and GROW SOME BALLZ!
A pretty simple model that worked for 12 years and is now in jeopardy because Republicans couldn't control their power hungry egos.
So today it seems that the US senate has let us down yet AGAIN.
Somehow I always knew that it was all political banter as usual in the capital.
Today they voted NOT to fund the very wall they voted to BUILD not 2 months ago.
Is it just me or do the Reps keep digging their own hole for the coming elections.
I dont know about the rest of you but I am starting to get VERY VERY Annoyed at all this constant bull**** that they keep feeding us.
We SO need a third party in this country that actually goes to the senate with what WE want in mind.
I am sure we have all seen the recent events with N.K.
They have been talking tough about shooting off missles that can hit alaska (barely).
However I am shocked to hear so many talk about going in there and blowing them up, or bombing their facilities. I must admit that at one point back when the Iraq war started I was one of those that said why them why not North Korea or Iran. I guess I may have pulled a Kerry on this one and flip flopped.
I have been looking at this whole pre-emptive strike thing that so many Americans seem to be adapting. Its as though they want to just go around being the worlds police. Now while on the surface the may seem like a good idea (get them before they get us) its really long term a horrible one. One that may have longer consequences and lead to more dire situations. Such as what we are seeing in Iran. Where Iran wants to have a bomb to be at an "equal" with the US. Its their solution that is the equivalent to Cold War tactics. If we both have enough bombs to blow each other up then you wont attack me pre-emptively.
Now with North Korea I feel that we may be making the same mistakes that we carelessly made going into Iraq. By taking Iraq as such a huge danger. When in fact it has turned out that Iraq was nothing more then a country barely hanging on in terms of military capability. While yes North Korea can shoot a big missle into the air. They still lack the knowledge to make it even work properly. Less than 1 minue into flight and the missles came crashing down in the Japan Sea.
Now call me crazy but that doesnt seem like a country that has everything all set up very well now does it?
So it beckons the question what do we do?
Do we follow more Clintonesk type of action where we bend to their will and give them nuclear power plants as long as they are "inspected" or do we continue on the current Bush path of having other regional nations join in the talks.
I must say that I choose the latter. While Russia and China arent exactly HELPING the situation since they are basically selling NK the missles we need to look at the alternatives.
We obviously cant go back to GIVING Kim Jong Il what he wants in terms of power etc. etc. without some consession from his end.
Lets face it the ones that hurt the most with economic sanctions has been proven time and time again to be the people. Which rarely actually uprise against the govt. Unless the govt is totally inept in the military aspect.
We can only I think stay on the course of pushing for regional leaders to make strong movement on NK.
The very last thing is to start bombing their facilities.
It will lead again I think down a path that will evetually have nations like China, Venezuela, Iran firing at us in pre-emption. Seeing us as a threat to them, they attack us.
What Kim Jon Il actually I think wants is for the US to intervine to give him as well as others like Chavez and the Iraninan president the fuel they need to lead an attack at the US.
Lets face it part of the reason we went into Iraq was because we KNEW they wouldnt put up much of a fight militarily. Not many in the world can hang with the US in that respect. We went in to send a message of some sort that we can do this and to establish a great military presence in the area.
Setting the stage that has always been a problem for the US.
To defend Israel as well as to have a foot hold on a airport that sorties can be carried out in neighboring countries that may eventually sway too far out of control. Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan come to mind.
Some may call this Impreialism. But that fails the test of past imperialistic countries where we arent rulling the people there. Just setting up a base there. No different then we have done in Germany and Japan. Which by the way is something that I think we should seriously look at re-working. We really dont need to have those bases there. That is for another day.
Today MSNBC's hardball shows an interview of Cindy Shehan actually saying she would much rather live under Hugo Chavez instead of GWB. Which in turn to me tells me she really doesnt want to be an american. Regardless of your thinking of what you think of Bush and his practices you cant go around saying I rather live somewhere else and still want to be called an american.
I would be more then happy to pay for a one way ticket for her.
And if more would like to join her I would think that there are plenty more that would be more then happy to accomidate them.
To call Hugo Chavez anything BUT a dictator is a JOKE!
