We're told Iran is supporting Hizbollah with funds and weapons. Are these weapons crossing US controlled Iraq by land? Do they sneak across Turkey to Syria and get to Lebanon that way? Is it possible they are delivered by air? I hear so much about the Iran connection in the news, but there seem to be significant geographic barriers between Iran and Lebanon.

This is hypocritical. Pres. Clinton had us in Desert Storm in the early 1990's for no good reason and we even had not been attacked on our own soil (9/11)- but when a republican stands up for our safety, freedom and rights. (rights to oil- which is in YOUR best interest.) He is met with half brained and biased press whom create zombies (regular viewing audiences) to attack his good efforts. We even got a tax cut for the poor through our Republican Bush for the first time in decades.(tens of years) "Democratic" Clinton did not give the poor a tax cut yet he took us to war in that region! Has hate for hate sakes filled the average US citizen? The lying movie guy. Farrenhieght 9/11 please tell me you must have seen the rebuttle. It is called FarrienHYPE 9/11 and shows all the lies that 1st movie spread. I hope you are not one of the gulliable well meaning people who got bad information and is running on lies dividing this good country and all of it's efforts. You and we deserve better.

Also, is it true that the U.S. is sending about 16 billion to Israel yearly, and if so, why?

(Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register. )

Dear Editor:

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one,suggests we should tear down the Statute of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer.

Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home. They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans. And, we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

And here we are in 2006 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about.

I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900s deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags. And, for that suggestion about taking down the Statute of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

P.S. Pass this on to everyone you know!!! KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING!! I hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!! ~~

BAGHDAD, Iraq - While American politicians and generals in Washington debate the possibility of civil war in Iraq, U.S. officers and enlisted men who patrol Baghdad daily say it has already begun.

Army troops in and around Baghdad interviewed in the last week cite a long list of evidence that the center of the nation is coming undone: Villages have been abandoned by Sunni and Shiite Muslims; Sunni insurgents have killed thousands of Shiites in car bombings and assassinations; Shiite militia death squads have tortured and killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Sunnis; and when night falls, neighborhoods become open battlegrounds.

******* This whole idea about Democracy in the Middle East is absurd !!!********
There is no possible way to mend the damage that has been done. The only choice is to pull out our troops. We as a Nation must unite and stand our ground ! Force Bush to return our Troops or relinguish his rights as President ! This has gone way to far !!!
