Hezbollah was conceived in 1982 by a group of Muslim clerics after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4314423.stm

The party's rhetoric calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. It regards the whole of Palestine as occupied Muslim land and it argues that Israel has no right to exist.

The party was long supported by Iran, which provided it with arms and money.

Hezbollah also adopted the tactic of taking Western hostages, through a number of freelance hostage taking cells.

In 1983, militants who went on to join Hezbollah ranks carried out a suicide bombing attack that killed 241 US marines in Beirut.

Hezbollah has always sought to further an Islamic way of life.

How many Iraqiis would still be in torture chambers if John Kerry had been elected? How many more terrorist attacks on US soil would have been successful if Kerry was elected?

Thank God for clear-thinking conservatives.

I would like to start watching children in my home during the day for extra money, but my husband says that our landlord won't let us because of liability on them. Is this true and what can I do to make them not liable in case of an accident/problem/legal issue?

I mean if America is the Land of the free, why theres not freedom in that aspect ?

Honestly I see no reason why any person on Earth that is not happy with the way things are going in his country of residence, should not feel free to go elsewhere. It was like that back in the days. As long as they asimilate the culture pay taxes and do everything a good citizen would do, I dont see no reason.

If an alien were tapped into our internet and was reading Yahoo! Answers, it would be painfully obvious that conservatives are uneducated, unenlightened, and downright unable to spell or even use the language that they insist be used by everyone in the US.

Brian Saaristo, a soldier from Wright who is serving with the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division, has been handed his butt to him by the Insurgents while in Iraq.
According to Pastor Matt Saarem of Bethany Lutheran Church of Cromwell, Saaristo lost both of his legs below the knees as the result of injuries incurred during an attack.
Reportedly, a roadside bomb hit the Humvee Saaristo was travelling in.
Saarem said Saaristo was flown to Germany and then to Washington, D.C., where he will spend coming weeks to heal and recuperate from his injuries. His wife, Cheryl, traveled to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, July 4, to be with him. The Saaristos’ have two children who are now taller than their father thanks to the worthless war.
Saarem said cannisters have been set up in various businesses throughout the Cromwell/Wright area and at Northview Bank as well to collect donations to assist Saaristo and his family during the weeks and months to come.

what about people who tried to be safe? nothing is foolproof (except abstinance). and just because someone had sex doesnt make them a bad person! it takes two, so why doesnt the woman always get looked down apon? and why should that woman be forced to carry a baby that NEITHER person wants to full term just so someone else can adopt it, where there are already THOUSANDS of children in the system not getting adopted? having a baby is a lot of money and a lot of stress (on the body and mind) and it isnt fair that all of these religious fanatics are trying to force their views and opinions on everyone, even if they dont agree.

why cant we just agree to disagree, and if you want/need an abortion, get one, and if you're against it, DONT?! why take a right away from someone just because someone else doesnt agree?

Once again the nutcase Conservatives find themselves on the hot seat. Both party's are crooked but conservatives seem 10 times as bad. Is there any honest conservatives? Does this huge rash of countless conservative corruption end the myth that conservatives are moral.

If this continues will conservatives destroy America?

I mean, he wouldn't even be president, really. All mormons are rigorously trained from early childhood to obey without question any and every order or suggestion coming from the 'brethren', which is the top 15 men in the church. The big decisions would be made here, in Salt Lake City!

I'm at work now and see the same people on here that were on here last night at 10:00pm. Does John Skerry have a job? I hope so cause that wouldn't seem right to call everyone else lazy while you collect your welfare check and play on the internet all day and night... Or is he just an old retired obnoxious crank that hates young and poor people?

How come I have recently seen all sorts of products have icons that show someone throwing something in the garbage, like on a chewing gum wrapper, McDonald's paper bags, etc. Also, items such as batteries and other electronic devices have an X through them, saying not to throw it away. It all makes sense, but it seems to be only recently that this has come about. Was there any law passed or something else that caused this to take place recently?

There is no clear cut right or wrong, so why are we pretending there is? This injustice is only going to breed more anger which will only bring more terror

Since really the military is in itself a giant socialist program. I'm not against socialism or the military, I just think that it's really hypocritical to talk down about taxation and government spending if you work for the biggest line item on the National budget.
