We haven't done it for 30 years, but gas prices are sky-high. Wouldn't it make sense to drill in the US? We could do it in a nature friendly way.

Is Israel a civilized country? For 2 kidnapped soldiers, they brought Lebanon to the ground, a militarily weak country.
Hizbullah is an INDEPENDANT fraction of the lebanese gvt, no one in Lebanon can control them, and their stupid action had Israel kills innocents, destroy the airport, bridges etc..
But worst of all, Israel teaches its kids that killing innocent civilans is a good thing. You don't believe me? Well, check the link below then.
WATCH OUT: VERY goary pictures, but I suggest you go in and see what Israel is doing. Ask yourselves how a "civilized" country like Israel can do such things without any remorse, ask yourselves how the US and other nations are doing NOTHING to stop the killing of babies and children.
I am not against the killing of terrorists, but why do the innocents have to die? Doesn't this make the israeli army and gvt officials as terorrist as al qaeda? ask yourselves instead of solely relying on what cnn says.

Why do people in the U.S. and the U.S. media refer to the EU as Europe and the U.S. as America? Europe and America are continents, not countries, and using those names instead of the correct ones is both incorrect, insulting to other countries in those continents (being excluded as if they don't exist or aren't important) and misleading for those who have little geography knowledge.

All the time I come across U.S. citizens who don't have a clue that there are more countries in Europe than the EU countries and who think that the EU is one country made out of many states like the United States.

And in the media "Europe" is sometimes used for the entire continent and sometimes for the EU only, which just confuses people and misleads them. I can usually tell by the content which one is being referred to, but people who don't know Europe that well can't.

Why don't you use the correct names for places and avoid those unnecessary confusions?

Think about it, and you thumb-sucking LIBERALS at least try to understand this basic lesson I am giving you free of charge. The USA refused, thank God (yes, LIBERALS, He does exist!), to allow its southern states to live under the threat of Soviet missiles in Cuba. When Olmert addressed Parliament yesterday, he hit the nail right on the head when he said, "Israel will not agree to live in the shadow of the threat of missiles or rockets against its residents." Someone want to tell me difference here? Hezbollah and their terrorist sponsors (we all know who they are) have had more than ample opportunity to shape up and be a part of the solution for peace in that part of the world. They have not only rejected those chances, but have been building massive arsenals that are now being used. Israel is not a big country area-wise, so the threat posed is even GREATER to them than the USA faced in '62. If terrorists continue to fire from cities, there can be no mercy shown. It is SELF-DEFENSE!

Do you think that this was a good idea to recreate the 9/11 movie and allow the people to see first hand what actually happened or do you think its a selfish moneymaker?

Dear yahoo friends!
Israel is no more only defending itself, it is not only bombing hizbullah, it is bombing the whole of Lebanon, my beloved country, where my parents and my loved ones are now living in fear and disarray.
Please join me in a prayer, in your own language, in ur own belief, to stop the war on Lebanon, killing hundreds of people everyday...

I know this may sound trivial in the light of the current situation in the Israel, but it's something I've often wondered.

I understand this is a capitalist country and all, but I have NEVER heard of such bullcrap. the US people should do something about this. I mean, look around you, this is the best country in the world, and there is no health care, you have to pay when you go on the highways, people weere left to die in New Orleans last year, and little money is paid to you once one gets fired and for only a limitted time, and now they want people to pay for the cost of transporting them from lebanon tro cyprus. it's not like the trip is to get them to the US, it's a f..ing 15-20 minute trip by boat, and once they get there, they are on their own to fly into the US
. This is very very weak and bad from the US gvt to do so.
Where does the money we pay from the taxes go to? How can we sit here and accept this?
