Lets get over it. I would think the bigger problem here is that fact that he was driving drunk. He is obviously a mean drunk. I am sure we have all said mean nasty things about other races, religions, sexual orientation,etc. Hell when I drive let the vulgarities flow. Maybe there is a conspiracy by the American Govt. to get support for the Israel/Hezbollah War. Lets not forget "Lethal Weapon"," Mad Max." Mel was a cutie pie when he was younger..

Seriously now, there isn't one shred of scientific evidence to back up these pathetic conspitracy stories, I've checked them out in depth and found that either there is absolutly no scientific foundation to them or they are outright fabrications. Somehow people that couldn't count to eleven without taking a shoe off are enamored of them, just as with the Protocols of Zion in earlier days, and are always posting questions where in they claim that two plus two equals three and then daring anyone to contradict them. What is it about these laughable fabrications that the dimmest among us find so believable?

I don't understand why the news can't stress the good things happening in the world. There are so many good people out there helping the poor and doing great things but they never make the news.

The US and Israel have known since the first "twin tower" bombing that Iran was behind it.The US also knows that 'ALL" the american people can't handle the truth. We slipped into Afghanistan, then IRAQ...For the "sole purpose" of strategically placing ourselves in the center of ALL terrorism. IRANIAN clerics are "hell bent" on bringing about the return of the "messiah, Whom they say will not return "until" ALL the infidels are wiped from the face of the earth. If you ain't Muslim, you ain't livin' !!!.
Iran, "not" the Iraqi citizens, are behind the resistance in Iraq. Iran knows that as long as we are where we are, their plans are more difficult. That is why they have "employed" Hezbollah as the "stick" to poke Israel in the eye..To draw American attention to that region, since Iran knows that the world "hates" Jews, and the USA is truly their only friend.
Bush "relies" on the liberals to perpetuate the incompitence of the US, so that IRAN will make the MISTAKE that IRAN is.
GO USA

What could this strange light be? Me and two other people saw this light drop from the sky over a lake In upper Michigan, this lake is called lake Gogebic. It droped down to tree level and turned from a small white light to a larger orange light. It stayed still in the sky for one minute than it started to go from left to right and up and down at a fast pace. This went on for about one minute, than it raised up slowly and shot off at a high rate of speed until it was out of our site. Was this a U.F.O. from outerspace or something from our military?

The following are country rankings in Reporters Without Borders' press freedom index. The higher a country is the freer its press is.

8th - Slovakia
9th - Czech Republic, Slovenia
11th - Estonia
12th - Hungary
16th - Latvia
21st - Lithuania
25th - Benin, Namibia
28th - El Salvador
33rd - Bosnia and Herzegovina
43rd - Macedonia
44th - UNITED STATES
45th - Bolivia
46th - Uruguay
47th - Israel
48th - Mozambique
50th - Chile

As you can see 6 former Soviet countries and 3 former Yugoslavian countries actually rank above the USA, as well as a number of African countries.

All but one (Poland) of the 25 EU countries rank above the USA. Canada, Australia, South Africa, Japan and New Zealand also rank above the USA. In other words every major democratic country except Russia (and is Russia even democratic?) ranks above the USA. For a country that values its freedoms so highly, this is a very poor record. The question is, are the American people aware of this?

With Allah's Name, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Assalamo Alaikum.

Hizbollah is playing "Americn Wresling Match". The manuscript is well written and the onjective is very clear. The objective is to give Israel an innocent picture. The picture of an oppresed, suppressed, terrorized nation fighting against a terrorist and not against civilians. Hezbollah is firing rockets on Arabs in Israel which are not even protected by Sirons and advanced warnings as the article reflects below. Israelis are praising Nasrullah's character and honesty and you know what it means. Zionists and other paid journalists are writing articles to give a picture of a war between Hezbollah and Israel while the truth is that it is a very well planned attack on Lebanon killing both Muslims and Christians. As Christians are totally impotent and are total slave of Zionists and as their corrupt churches are totally made slave to Israel, there is no voice in favour of those Christians who are killed in Leb
