No. Israelis have always counted themselves as the "goodies" and "fair dealers". And a "can do" mentality. No wonder their arrogance. And no wonder their brutalities against Palestinians. But one thing I am certain, they will never be in peace. And will never see victory. Never. In ten, twenty, thirty or fifty years they will go to the history books like the ancient Spartans. Defeated. What do you say?

I was reading on Yahoo! news that Argentina has elected Cristina de Kirchner as it's next President. So I am wondering is Argentina a much more progressive country than the United States?

There's been other strategies: vote in the opposition, Congress halting war spending, peace marches, etc.

I was thinking more along the lines of the 80s/90s student movements that boycotted companies investing in apartheid-era South Africa. Eventually, even state governments even joined the boycott, which meant large-scale assets were diverted from S.A. And the PR was disasterous for embedded companies.

Does anyone have ideas on how to stop the war or what to possibly boycott? It's not like Haliburton has publicly sold products that we could boycott or something. (Besides, their revenue stream comes from government, not from the general public.)

What about Coke and/or Pepsi -- and all of their products (Taco Bell, etc, etc)? I can't think of a direct link, but they might at least lobby politicians if they start losing money ...

President wrong for causing the need for a "constant string of investigations"?

Is it the role of Congress to ensure oversight or is that unnecessary during this time of war??

basically Team McCann lied when they insisted weeks ago that the fund WOULD NOT be used for personal expenses and living costs


I am having to re post it as it seems the Pro McCanns could not produce an adequate answer, so they turned to reporting it.

How many of you have mistakenly thought whilst in the shower/ your car/ alone in the house, you can actually sing a good rendition of 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis?

a victim of an abduction. How many people would say that they had been wrong about the whole saga?

How many people will be able to answer this question without reverting back to the accusations of neglect and just give a straight answer without being rude, abusive & nasty?

Many thanks

As a nation that has vowed to combat terrorism on all fronts. Are we not obligated to assist Turkey in the same thing that we are doing not even 200 miles away from them. If my reflection serves me right, when we as the United States said we will attack terrorism, there was not a stipulation that we will do nothing if we upset a few people. If that was the case we would not be in Iraq right now. So in us not helping Turkey on a front that is right where we are doing what we vowed, that in turn makes us a partaker of terrorism. Would you not agree? In our refusal to get involved when we have vowed to get involved on all fronts of terrorism, when we are right there anyway, that in my opinion makes our country a double minded nation. Integrity and godly character must rule, in our words and actions.

Let me make it so simple that even anti-McCanns should be able to understand...

I do not condone child neglect of any kind.

But that does not mean that I must have no compassion or sympathy for two people who have been without their child for 6 months.

If you feel that it does then I pity you and your simple minds.

Imagine if doctors and nurses were like anti-McCanns...

Alcoholics with liver damage would just be left to die - "I'm not treating you, serves you right for drinking so much."

What a horrible and nasty world that would be.

I have it on good authority, from Barney at the White House actually. That the culprit in the royal sex scandal is one of the corgis. He was caught on camera in the dead of night weeing against the coke pile and then wandering off to sniff a couple of other dog's butts.

Well it sounds about as reasonable as any other theories I have heard or read! What do you think?

Does he think we are going top become some militant state that owns the whole world? Does he care about how Iran is going to strike back? Does he even think about how the American people are going to revolt? Is he Cheney's secret lover? Where will this country be if he starts a war before he leaves office? Does anyone think this is all a ploy to increase oil prices and line their pockets(not to mention Haliburton)? Where and why did this neo-conservatism come from? Aren't these guys just scared cowards that don't know how to talk to people? How come we threw out the original plan on how to occupy Iraq? Isn't Iran 1000x more equipped and organized than Iraq? Why should we stop other countries from getting nuclear? Do you think the Iranians are so stupid to commit country suicide? Don't you think that if they bombed Israel or anywhere else that their state and their entire belief system would be possibly wiped away? Doesn't anyone remember why the Middle East hates us from our CIA strike

as an Englishman and business magnate of many major US based companies I feel I must ask this.
Many of the Americans that I own have difficulty spelling words correctly i.e
Colour-color
Honour-honor
Favour-favor
skool-school
In my opinion Americans have not had the correct skooling and therefore struggle.
In my many US based companies I have started an English skool for the Americans that I own.It is mainly held in the huts after work duties.
English skool is very popular with my Americans and it is teaching them a valuable lesson in life.
SKOOL IS GOOD
