Iranian officers take command of Palestinian Gaza missile front. (DEBKAfile Exclusive)

The Israeli cabinet decision Wednesday ordered the IDF to stick to attacking missile crews and refrain from breaching the month-long “ceasefire,” in the course of which the Palestinians fired 70 missiles from Gaza at Israeli civilian locations. An Israeli appeal went out to the (non-functioning) Palestinian Authority to halt the six-year old barrage. Shouldn't Israel get serious and remove the threat to its citizens? Sderot and its neighbors will continue to live under daily missile harassment. Until the latest attack, the army was constrained on the prime minister’s order – and against its will - - to hold its fire against the daily assaults, although they could clearly see the assailants in Gaza. Surgeons operated through Tuesday night to save the life of Adir Basad, 14, who was critically wounded by a Qassam missile fired by Palestinian terrorists rom Gaza on Israeli civilians in southern Israel

I don't get it, Islam, it seems to be, is the only religion where violence flourishes within the religion. Does this have to do with how Islam came about, through turbulent times, which included civil unrest, was that the only way they could get control of the people, through violence?

It makes perfect sense as New Orleans was the Murder Capital of the USA. And now that all the murderers were forced to relocate, it only makes sense that murder rates would go through the roof in the places the savages were redistributed.

No WMDs, no concrete ties to Al-Qaeda or 9-11....but arguably also a brutal dictator who invaded Kuwait and waged war against Kurdish Iraqis. There will also likely continue to be soldier deaths well after Saddam is executed.......

The Iraqi Supreme Court upheld the death sentence imposed by a lower court on former dictator Saddam al-Husssein al-Tikriti. Under the new Iraqi penal code, this means that Saddam will be hung sometime in the next 30 days. This is the 60th execution carried out by the new Iraqi government in the last 2 years.

Do you support the execution of Saddam Hussein for his crimes against the Iraqi people?

And if so, that his death, after a 27 year reign of terror, (79-06) be the trigger for a mass human destruction?

news reports from many sources report fear of massive retaliations against us troops: Some U.S. soldiers patrolling Baghdad's dangerous streets Wednesday cheered news of the execution order for Saddam Hussein, but others worried his trip to the gallows could spark a massive surge of insurgent attacks.

You see, when I asked if people would eat stem cells to stay alive most of them said no, so I'm confused on why there is so much defense for stem cell research...

Over and over I hear about the US 'winning' in Iraq but no one ever says what that means! If only we 'take the gloves off' and 'kick some butt' we can accomplish 'the mission'. Do people who say those words have any clue what they're talking about? Doesn't seem like it, because the're always so vague. Stuff written by soldiers in the field and knowledgeable people never use language like that. Is it just feel-good propoganda for the naive folks at home? When the enemy you're fighting live cheek-by-jowl with the ones you're supposed to help can a military victory ever be acheived? Could it be that a military solution, which is emotionally satisfying, not be the answer in this situation? It's not a football game after all.
