If a bunch of fanatical Americans started launching missles in to Tijuana, Mexico and Toronto, Canada....sure Canada and Mexico would be angry.....but so would the USA?

The Feds would be going after them with everything they had and not telling Canada and Mexico that it's "their problem".

Is it my imagination, or is Lebanon conveniently sitting on the fence...wanting Israel to be attacked, but not wanting to officially "go to war".

Am I missing something?

I don't buy it . . do you think that Castro is dead like I do? I think his brother is just running the show until they can get someone else to do it (his brother is kind'of a putz)..

...people say things like:

"That's what Hitler used to say"
"That's what they used to say about Hitler"
"Hitler did the same thing"

It's like they don't have the intelligence to think of a decent reply so they just come up with some crap about Hitler that probably isn't true anyway.

Do you feel sad when you turn on the TV and see all these innocent men, women and children dying from the war against terrorism? I often wonder why people put important to small things like clothing, cars and hair (myself included) when they're are more serious issues going on in this pathetic world we live in today.

Many are claiming there is no connection between Iraq and terrorism, but I see a different story. Even before the invasion Al Qaeda operatives were running around Iraq. In one case one was arrested by the Iraqi police and one of Saddam’s sons had him release. Do not forget Ansar Al Islam in the north.

Since the take over there has been an unprecedented number of terrorist attacks even specifically targeting civilians. On top of this Al Qaeda has chosen Iraq to be the battle ground in which to fight the United States. If Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq it is in a big way now in which the previous Al Zarqawi primarily lead the insurgency. Maybe it is serendipitous but I think Iraq is a key position in that if Iraq falls or become truly democratic it can have a decisive impact for either side.

With this all said I'm not sure we are fighting this war intelligently was we could. I think we are still thinking in the 2 dimensional conventional sense. We need to be more creative and multi pronged in our approach.

No, i'm not a crazy arab, i'm a realistic man who is looking at facts and analyzing them.
the whole world, except for Israel, jews and some of the brainwashed americans, are condeming the Israeli crimes towards Lebanon. Althoguh i agree that Israel has the right to defend itself, but what it's doing now is atrocities, it has reached similar actions like the nazis. They are killing innocent women and children, all with the blessing of the US.
Bush has brought the US to a downfall with almost everything he has done, and his blind support for Israel is just our of the rational. Israel, a supposedly civilized country, has been bombing buidlings and civilian spots because there MIGHT be some hizbullah fighters in it, killing hundreds of innocent civilians.
the point of this is to ask how long the whole world will supoort the US and Israel? how long will their crimes go on until the coward world steps up and say:" Damn you US and Israel, you have gone too far, stop killing innocents"

When a professional sports team wants to upgrade their stadium, arena, ballpark, or whatever, ... or they want to move to a new city....should taxpayers be asked to foot the bill without compensation other than the 'privileges' of having the team in their city? If they should get some form of compensation, what should it be? ... And why do you feel that way?

The world is in chaos. okay...more chaos then it usually is. And I'm sitting here, watching the news and watching people's lives flash by me and I can't do anything. Sure I help my community with service hours and recycling. But what can I actually do to help contribute an extra pair of working hands to help make this world at least a better place to live? I don't have the time to travel across the world though so missionary and other types of similar activities will not be possible.

According to todays logic, one should freely give up their homeland to invaders and like it! Or else you are a naughty terrorist.

Bad terrorist!

When looking at the current events of the day, I see people bloviating about the coming rapture, the end of times, World War III and all sorts of signs concerning the activities involving the Middle East. But I'm wondering this, who's in the right? Is Israel right for "protecting themselves" by killing hundreds of Lebonese civilians in an attempt to go after Hezballah? Is Hezballah in the right for sending rockets into Israel, killing civilians under the guise of retaliation? Who should step up to put an end to this violence? When we think about other areas, did America fall short, do wrong, or go overboard with this, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc? What about the countries that supported the attacks from 9/11, like Saudi Arabia and Syria (which are the countries from which most of the terrorists, including Osama, were from)? I haven't formed my opinion concerning this yet and would like some help.

America means to me to be free. The soliders are fighting for our rights as American's. I am thankful for all they do for us. I pray every night for them to be safe where-ever they are and that they all have a safe return. In America you have so many rights. Some people take them for granted. You see all different kinds of people protesting the WAR and all kinds of people supporting the WAR. I support our president. If we can not support him than what do we have left.
