I do, and I think it would be sad because a lot of people have waited years to put this case to rest and now this clown comes along and pulls this publicity stunt...I'm just waiting for the DNA results.

Our taxpayer-funded Israeli military terrorized the whole nation of Lebanon while supposedly only targeting the Hezbollah. Hundreds of Lebanese killed, thousands injured, at least a million homeless, devastating destruction of the bridges, highways and other infrastructure (at least 2.5 billion in damage) and the fouling of the once-beautiful Beirut beaches. Our government has not acknowledged and condemned this terrorism, so I guess we should rename our "War against terror" to "War against non-Israeli terror", because that's what it is now.

Of course, people are going to have all kinds of views on this one. I'll put my point of view accross, but its just a point of view (hard with limited words).

On the one hand, you have the Palestinian position. No state, pushed out by force. Neglected by the world, tho not so neglected by the media. Occupied by a another power, and treated pretty poorly really. (theres so much more of course)

On the other hand the Israelis (jews), a people with no home for ages, victimised for ages through Europe especially, and especially during WW2. Plently enough reason to seek refuge, and defend it as a fight for survival. Surrounded by hostile lands, attacked many, many times first. (there is so much more of course)

I think its really impractical to divide the land fairly between the two peoples. Despite the mutual distrust and hate, I think the most fair, stable and lasting solution is one state - for both people. A state with both peoples having equal rights, both sharing the land together.

The CIA launched Operation Mockingbird in the late 1940's in an attempt to gain control of the media. This program was made public in the 1970's and in largely declassified today.

Given this historical fact do you believe that the US has a free or a CIA controlled press?

Generally speaking, how do you feel about the mass media, including newspaper, television, news services, and the like.

Do you think John Mark Karr done it or is just crazy as hell? I think he is crazy enough to do it but in the back of my mind I think he is crazy enough to make it up to. Or do you think the parents still done it?

This question is the one which I would think is determinative of the matter. He got the girl - how? He killed her - where? - - the body was in her BASEMENT - how?

Not just the ones currently in the news, but all terror suspects, who are more than willing to die for their cause, IF convicted & proven guilty should the government not dissapoint them by imprisoning them but actually do something more positive and grant them their wish to die or would that be seen as playing into their hands?

I'm trying to find out who coined a phrase, and both publications in which it appears are dated October 1964. One is Arts Magazine, a monthly publication dated October 1964 (and no longer in print), the other is Time magazine (weekly), dated Oct. 23, 1964. So the question is, which came first? Currently, a magazine with an October date would most likely be sent in September. Was this also true in 1964? Was the Time sent out approximately one week before its publication date? Thanks for your answers!

I may be wrong, but not one of the suicidal terrorrists was an Iraqi, an Iranian, Palestinian,Syrian,or Lebanese. Maybe one or two were Egyptians--- like Mohammed Atta?

OBL = Osama bin Laden

Remember right after September 11th, 2001, when we all had pride and swung our flags around. When we loved our neighbor and our country. Do any of you feel like we should go back to that. It pisses me off that it's 5 years later and no one seems to remember. Any one with me????
