Current Events - August 2006

If we continue this war in Iraq and keep helping Israel kill innocent Lebanese the rich Arabs will get together and possibly make the greatest supporter to the Arabs stronger. This would be Iran. They would have all the good wealth, hatred for the West and intelligence to fight the West. They may make allies with old foes like Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Russia will also get rich since they have good oil reserves and this turmoil is making them richer.

If we get out of Iraq, Lebanon and stop threatening the Iranians with war we will help the rise of China as a second in command. This country has much jealousy from its surroundings - Japan, Korea and Vietnam since it was an underdog and now a superpower. It has many foes and currently is very much watched. It has low oil reserves and thereby a war with Arabs would weaken it. It does not hate Americans and has a lot of investments from outsiders. Going to war with China even if they were very powerful seems far fetched.

I think John Karr does. So did the BTK killer.

(JMK may be innocent - this is a different question than that)

Thousands of kids are found dead around the globe but they are only singling in on this one child. So what if she was precious, aren't the other kids precious too? If your gonna follow the story of one girl then follow the stories of all the other children that didn't get to see the next day.

Did Bush forsee this when he went for the oil. Cause if the media doesn't do its job by informing the American public, will they try to hide it with shows of Paris Hilton. Then surprise us when a hostile act of war from IRAQ occurs. I know we can blow the whole damn military of IRAQ to smitherines. But Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney, they don't give a hoot about those boys in the line of fire. Cause their children aren't there to fight for Americas oil.

Whether you agree with the legitimacy of Israel's creation and existance, the fact is that palestinians were in the land long before Israel was settled.
the question though is if it's ok, in your point of view, that Israel confiscated palestinian land, kicked them out, left them with nothing, sometimes driving bulldozers into homes with people in it and destroying them. Why is a civilized state like Israel acting so animalistically and violently? I thought it respected human rights, but as i have seen so far with what they did to lebanon, i was horrified to find that they are terrible. Palestinians are treated like animals by Israel and the latter cares the less for them. How can this be acceptable? If ISrael respects human dignity, would it steal their land? Isn't this just like the europeans coming into the americas and stealing the native's lands? I know that Israel was for the jews 2000 years ago....but, is that an excuse to go into a home, kick someone out and live in it?

Today in Iran the majority is upset by its minority controllers (16 Jul. (IPS) - but they will unite if there is a common enemy. This is a well trod path. The Roman Catholic Religion ad 0500 - Henry 8th's C of E - Exporting Communism Russia in 1916 etc.
Today's terrorism isn't the fault of its Muslim's host, but belief mixed with governance makes it an easy target in some areas.
Could we question this problem in Yahoo and spread our action wider until the people of this world unite in the same question?
Could we use the internet to do this before someone pulls the plug on all life?
We could start by creating more questions to provide more answers in the same vein.
No one wants to change the administrators.
We just want to stop increasing dominion by this means.
The world's Muslims are the terrorist's victims twice over.
Let's stop using our one single God to manipulate people.

so I didn't know Israel had a president. you always hear about the prime minister here and there and not a word about the president.
I don't understand why though, doesn't he have enough power? or is it like Britain where the queen is a symbol and the prime minister is the
real power?

With idealologys like this?

A passage from the Ayatollah Khomeini, quoted in an 11th-grade Iranian schoolbook, is revealing. "I am decisively announcing to the whole world that if the world-devourers [i.e., the infidel powers] wish to stand against our religion, we will stand against their whole world and will not cease until the annihilation of all them. Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom. Either we shake one another's hands in joy at the victory of Islam in the world, or all of us will turn to eternal life and martyrdom. In both cases, victory and success are ours."

In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning. At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead--hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers. For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint; it is an induceme
