It happened so often. In January 2004, for example, Israel freed 436 Arab prisoners and released the bodies of 59 Lebanese for burial, in return for an Israeli spy and the bodies of three Israeli soldiers.

As long ago as 1985, three Israeli soldiers captured in 1982 were traded for 1,150 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners.

Although, Hizbollah knows - the Israelis thirst for Muslims blood, it is for the first time Israel is facing two Islamic Mujahideen - in southern Lebanon and in Gaza - rather than nationalist guerrillas.

The US was the only country to veto the condemnation, but because it has so much power the vote only needed the US to veto in order to kill it. I have never heard of the US ever condeming Israel actions. How rediculous does it have to get?

"Do you think we should do nothing about this illegal immigration problem?". I have to point out a few key points that no one seems to recognize about illegal immigration...

“The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty first, the ‘love of soft living’ and the get-rich-quick-theory of life”---Teddy Roosevelt

"Love of soft living" - with the use of illegal immigrants for cheap part time labor, the middle to upper class Americans and the thinking involved is "it's good for me and it employs needy people as well". This creates a dillusion of Master-servant and is self-destructive at the same time. Remember "All power corrupts".

Judging from what is known throughout history, it is only a matter of time before the servants get tired of thier roles. With that we can logically deduct that eventually the servant will try and overthrow the master. Unfortunately, this is the role of the illegal to... Continued below.

When they get caught entering Mexico illegally? I hear they will do the work Mexicans won't do for less pay.
Do you think they will have a Day without a Guatamalan, in Mexico?

I dont know what to do. I sold a playstaion 2 with ebay. I have 100% feedback. He sent me an email saying there was a sticker on the box saying the packaging didn't hold up, which couldnt possibly be true. I packaged it very well. Now he says that he only received about 20% of the shipment, not including the shipment. I offered shipping insurance in the auction, but he declined. I dont know if it is theft during the shipping process or buyer fraud, who also has 100% feedback rating. Any advice on what to do would be great, thanks.

Something like this statement:

"Today, (insert Muslim terrorist group/nation) has taken hostages and is threatening to kill them unless we release prisoners. Not only will we not release the prisoners, we will act decisively. If they are not released in 24 hours, the Dome of the Rock will be destroyed. After 48 hours, the Kaaba will be destroyed. We're sorry it has come to this, but you forced our hand. And unfortunately for you, we have the trump card and have used restraint and now must use it. "

Anyone with a brain knows that Hillary would make changes that are not only critical for this country, but for the world. With the extreme problems of world wide terroism, war in the mideast, North Korea, pollution and global warming threatening the very existence of our planet and so much more, isn't it time to put someone in office that could actually deal with these problems instead of right wing selfish agenda?

Take this Jessica Lunsford case for example. As media feeding increases it is inevitable that somewhere, somehow, someday we will not be able to find 12 honest unbiased and unmedia fed jurors for some case. What then? We have no provision for an inability to select a jury do we?

With the escalation of violence in the middle east this week, I was surprised to see a U.N. resolution created and shot down so quick-- but it was shot down by only ONE veto. The United States voted against it, 10 to 1. Is the system flawed if the US can simply say no to anything it doesn't like? Seems rediculous to me.

On this side, the most rabid, hateful, racist Minuteman in the USA.
On this side, and average border jumping mexican guy.
A 12 round fight. minuteman wins, the Mexican goes home. Mexican wins, he and his family can stay.

They could air it a reality show on FOX.

Also, have you ever noticed how much "minuteman" looks like "minute (as in tiny) man"?

Why

Why do people hate?
Why don’t they just debate?
We are all going to die
So live life to the fullest before you say goodbye
Why do we get mad?
When in our heart we are truly sad
Why do some commit the crime and never want to do the time?
Why do we mourn the dead
But complain about the living?
Why can we all just get a long
We wont live forever
We will die someday
Maybe tomorrow or today
Why are we all so different?
Who cares if you are straight or gay?
In gods eyes we all look the same way

OK, some people who do not read the Bible, pick a verse out of the air, and use it to attempt to strengthen their viewpoint of illegal immigration.

I am well versed in the Bible, and I can tell you that (a) you are violating God's word to support your agenda, and (b) Jesus specifically talks about mixing religion with politics.

Here's the bottom line - if it doesn't involve God or religion, then you should keep Him out of it.

As Jesus says, "Render what is God's to God and what is Caesar's to Caesar."

If you put God into the mix, YOU, not us, will incur His wrath!

What's your opinion?
