Politicians do a lot of talking.
Soldiers do a lot of fighting and many die.
Innocent people do a lot of suffering and many, many of them die.
Taxpayers do a lot of paying.

We cannot even clean up after Hurricane Katrina!

Oh sure, we swept up The World Trade Center and patched the hole in the Pentagon ... but what about the rest of this mess?!

Now Israel thinks they're so tough and will rid the world of Hezbolah ... yeah, sure they are.

All these great ideas are only leading to more distruction, anger and death.

So, why haven't we won ?

Do you feel it's any of our business what he said or did? Or do you believe as I do, that what happened is between he and the officers and family. I mean, he was intoxicated, and we all say things we do or dont mean under the influence. Don't you think enough is enough?

Personally i think that if these savages want to wipe each other out i think we should pull out and leave them to it then after they have used all there arms and bombs go in and restore order.

Whats your opinion???????

Iraq is more likely to slide into civil war than turn into a democracy, Britain's outgoing ambassador to Baghdad wrote in a leaked diplomatic cable, the BBC reported on Thursday.

William Patey's final cable from Baghdad gives a far more pessimistic assessment for prospects in Iraq than Britain has disclosed in public. It warns of the prospect of Shi'ite militia forming a "state within a state", like Hizbollah
in Lebanon.

After reviewing several articles, many questions go unanswered:

1. How does a soldier get himself kidnapped? What kind of incompetent soldier back home in Israel gets himself kidnapped? It doesn't make much sense and the US media doesn't explain how it happened.

2. Why, in the press release pictures from the Israeli representatives visiting New York, do few of the pictures of one of the "kidnapped" soldier's not show her expressing any grief? She even looks pleased?! Were I the wife of a kidnapped soldier I would at least look embarassed, if not upset or depressed! But a big GRIN?? What? Did she want a divorce before or something and always wanted a free trip to NYC? Happy he's out of the way of an affair? WHAT?

3. I still don't get how the response to a kidnapping is seige of an entire country... I just don't get it.

Someone please make some sense of all this because it's really screwed up!

Rummy and Condi have ok'd a plan to help trian the Lebanese army to protect their country after Isreal defeats Hezbollah. We will also help supply them. I wonder if Mr.Bush remembers that we have schools crumbling, Senior citizens struggling to pay for their medicine, violenece in our own communities, a HUGE defecit, and a city of our own, New Orleans, needing to be rebulit. i am convinced this man is only concered with military operatins and beefng up our allies armed forces.

...don't they sound only slightly different than gangsters posturing over turf?

The only thing missing are the words "muthaf*ck*r", and "b*tch". Otherwise, no different. Sad.

Where's their version of Rodney King? "Can't we all just get along?"

(Oh and yes, I know the US has been guilty of the same thing, so save your Yankee-bashing comments thankyouverymuch.)
