Here, a few Lebanese renegades (who are not even affiliated with the government) kidnap two Israeli soldiers, and as a response, Israel's military bombs the crap out of Beirut!

What's your opinion?

I am now at the point that I have no idea what the hell is what over in the Middle East! I'm beginning to wonder if our politicians do either!
Is anyone else confused?

Saddam met Osama in Iraq: Report
times of india ^ | 9/8/02

Posted on 09/08/2002 10:37:22 AM PDT by knak

WASHINGTON: A woman claiming to have been Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's mistress for more than 30 years told ABC News that she witnessed at least one meeting between Saddam and top terror suspect Osama Bin Laden.

In an interview to be broadcast Thursday, Parisoula Lampsos, 54, said that during the mid-1980s, Bin Laden, blamed for the terror strike of September 11 that killed more than 3,000, visited one of Saddam's palaces in Iraq.

She alleged that the Iraqi leader's eldest son, Uday, told her the two met again about a decade later, an exchange that saw Saddam giving money to the Saudi-born millionaire exile.

"He give to Osama Bin Laden, he give to Palestine," she is quoted as saying in halting English.

with the "embrago" that israel has placed on lebanon i nthe recent days, running away from lebanon has been very difficult. it has come to my attention that maybe Israel should open a timing and find a mean to let the americans in lebanon evacuate. but rather, they don't seem to care at all. We as US citizens should be intrigued by all of this. Why is it that Israel is not helping the US citizens to flee lebanonm, is it because they don't care at all for us? i'm leaning towards thinking that they claim to be our friends on one side, but in the time of need, they turn their back in apathy.

I just read an article about teenage millionaires, and I wonder why some people just have it all. And in the news Bill Gates is giving away his money. Do the rich teach their kids something different than the poor? Would the points in the article work for people who's parents aren't rich? Here's the link (it's a pdf whitepaper): http://www.19millionaire.com

Earlier today I saw a report where an english lady said Israel had commited war crimes in the last few days. Fair enough! She is entitled to here own opinion. A month, or so ago, there was a big uproar against a missile that was supposed to be Israelie, killing people on a beach. This item was reported over and over for days. It turned out that it was not an Israelie missile, but someone elses. This merited one little mention!

Continuouly there is a slant against this country, sometimes it is subtle, sometimes obvious.

I don't want this to become a pro-them, anti the other, debate, but has anyone else notice this? Why does it happen?

Charges could mean life in prison

By JOHN LeMAY, Staff Writter

BENNINGTON -- A North Bennington man may face life in prison after being charged in Vermont District Court with sexual crimes against children, including a 6-year-old.

Barry S. Babson, 39, who was charged in March with sexual assault against two children, a 6-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl, has since been arraigned on charges involving two more children. The most recent charges came last week, when a judge found probable cause to indict Babson for aggravated sexual assault involving the 11-year-old. Aggravated sexual assault is defined in this case as subjecting a child under 16 to repeated non-consensual sexual acts. Babson was also charged last week with and lewd and lascivious conduct for allegedly "groping" a 13-year-old girl. Earlier this month, he was charged with both sexual assault and lewd and lascivious conduct involving a different 13-year-old. Babson, who was born in Bennington and most recently lived in West Pawlet before moving to North Bennington late last summer, now faces two life felony charges - sexual assault on a minor under 10 and aggravated sexual assault. Babson has a lengthy criminal history in Vermont and an outstanding arrest warrant from Florida for failing to appear in court. Law enforcement documents caution police that Babson has violent tendencies. He is being held without bail at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility in Rutland.

Have terrorists pushed their way into lebanon or are they there with the blessing of the Lebanese government?
In other words is the lebanese government a collaborator with Iran, Syria, and terrorists at the expense of their people or do these factions hold a gun to their head.
I don't blame Israel for going after the terrorists but the bombing of Lebanese targets and the airport seem spiteful and malicious to me and I'm pro Israel.
It would be nice when this is over if you could get a large enough peace keeping force to keep everybody out of this little country.
