...and why did Canadian PM Stephen Martin PRAISE the IAF for that savage attack on those tourists?...OR DID HE?

Why is the IAF taking its extreme revenge out on the world's tourists, not just in Lebanon, but all over the world?...

Why does the IAF have such extreme hatred for all of us(NOT just Palestinians, but Americans, Canadians, ANYBODY who DARES to say anything bad about this situation!)?...

My teenage son is so worried that Israel will declare war on the U.S. and Canada as their next move...

Don't blame the innocent Lebanese citizens for this situation;they hate Hezbollah, too, but are afraid to publicly say it for fear of treason charges by their Justice Ministry...

Trust me, my son is scared about this...

Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution states: "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

However, in my opinion, the Constitution says nothing about a state leaving the Union to become an independent nation. (Then it could enter into treaties or a different confederation - the South's argument in the Civil War.)

Is this possible? Would it be up to the state legislature or would Congress have to approve? Would such an act trigger a domino effect that could lead to 50 independent nations?

I'm just looking for opinions and ideas on this. I don't expect actual answers to the question from someone who isn't a Federal judge or a Constitutional lawyer (and even then, it would still be an opinion)

Both nations have populations in excess of a billion and both have rapidly growing economies but will this mean both countries will continously live in peace? Also note that the states will still be around at this point far into the future but as the british empire fell so too will americas reign of the world. Will it just be between these two nations or will it involve other nations as well?

Two boys in New York were playing basketball when one of them was attacked by a rabid dog. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.

A reporter from the New York Times saw the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began by entering the headline into his laptop: "Brave Young Yankees Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."

"But I'm not a Yankees fan,” said the boy.

"Sorry," replied the reporter. "Since we're in New York, I assumed you were."

Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "Hillary Clinton Fan rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."

"But I'm not a Hillary fan," the boy says. The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Yankees or Hillary. What team or person do you like? "

"I'm a Detroit Tigers fan and I really like George W. Bush,” the boy says.

Hitting the delete key, the NY Times reporter begins again: "Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

My wife just up and left two years ago and took our son with her. She moved to a military base (although she's not in the military, just dating someone who is). I miss my son so much. I want to find him to get custody but I have tried to locate them but no luck. He was 3 when he left, now 5 years old. He'll be starting kindergarten soon. I've tried everything but since she's on a base, I think thats why Im having no luck. Any imput would help! Thanks.

As part of the Mexican electoral campaigns, the EX president of Mexico who was responsible for the Tlatelolco massacre ordering the student protesters to be killed was arrested.
Can Bush at some point after his presidency be arrested if proven guilty of being aware there were no WOMD, doing it to make Halliburton richer, and getting American soldiers killed?

Gunmen attack market in Iraq, killing 41 By ROBERT H. REID, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Dozens of heavily armed attackers raided an open air market Monday in a tense town south of Baghdad, killing at least 46 people and wounding about 90, Iraqi and U.S. officials said. Some reports put the death toll far higher. Most of the victims were believed to be Shiites.

Meanwhile, three U.S. soldier were fatally wounded Monday in western Baghdad, the U.S. military said. It was the fourth U.S. military fatality in the Baghdad area since Saturday. A bomb killed two people and wounded nine Monday in east Baghdad, according to police.

Political Correctness is the concept that speech should not offend its listeners. However, challenges to any concept, ideology, moral, or view often cause offense. Offense is usually a matter of position and opionion. Even diplomacy varies from mind to mind. Offense is often necessary for progress.

To enforce Political Correctness is to forbid opposing opinions. To forbid oppossing opions is to dictate speech. To dictate speech is to dictate society. To dictate society is to strive against Democracy.

Is not Political Correctness, really, Political Control?
