I see all these statistics on civilian death toll and what not in Lebanon. I am completely against war, that is unless all other options have been explored, which in the case of Israel v.s. the middle east, they have. I see all sorts of crap about calls for immediate cease fire, we want peace, yadda yadda. If you compare the number of civilian deaths in Israel over the years when they were at "peace" with the palestinians, being car bombed constantly, to the number of civilian deaths Israel is inflicting in this war, won't the numbers weigh heavily against Hezbollah? Wouldn't those numbers make Israel, in fact, look more like the victim?

Brother is in middle east, and is eligible for advancement to QMC. He is in the EOD community, and we can not find any information on his status. Can anyone recommend a website or source of information that we can reference, to find out if he is advanced to E-7. The EOD advancements are not listed with the regular active duty selectees, and we know he is eligible, but cannot find his name. Thanks for any assistance!

"The Simpsons go to England"... Please watch the episode via the link I have provided. I would like to know what people thought of this episode. It displayes American and British stereotypes in a rather humorous manner. Though many of the stereotypes are largely exagerated, some still ring true...Take a look at it....have a laugh...and tell me how it made you feel...were you offended?..was the show acurate?...do you care?...anyway...please list your country of origin...
P.S....I find it amazing that the Simpsons were able to get PM Tony Blair to do a voice over...

And why, under the Bush Regime have we became Terrorists by our own Legal Definition?

United States Code
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 113B > § 2331 Prev | Next

§ 2331. Definitions
How Current is This?

As used in this chapter—
(1) the term “international terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.


""appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and""" That fits the present, and almost everyday, actions of Israel to a T, and also describes Bush's Actions in invading Iraq.

Israel says that the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers was an "Act of War", proobably true, but Hesbillah kidnapped the two Iraelis as hostages to trade for the thousands of Lebonese Prisoners Israel has kidnapped from Lebanon over the past 6 to 10 years, why isn't Israel's Kidnappings considered Acts of War?

Israel claims that Lebanon and Hezbellah are in violation of a UN Resolution, true again, but Israel Occupied Lebanon for 20 years in Violation of a UN Resolution demanding their withdrawal, and continues to ignore several Resolutions and World Court decisions that demand them to return all the land they seized in 67' to Egypt, Palestine, JOrdan, and Lebanon, why do we permit Israel to pick and choose what Resolutions they will follow and what ones they will go to War over?

First the cumpulsory disclaimer - No I do nt consider myself anti semite no I don't have the time energy or focus required to actually hate any group (with the exception of people who take up two or three seats on the subway so they can have thier "personel space").

But here it goes .....1600 or so England had the Jews deported from England because the King who they had lent money to said they were trying to dictate to.

Europe throughout time has been anti semite World war 2 was just the peak of the mountain . When they were put on ships then no one including Canada would take them (ship of fools)

I can't think of a region or a place or a time period including the middle east where they are or ever have been welcome. My country has some Jewish nieghborhoods - no one seems to care one way or the other - so I guess thats an exception as is New York etc. but on the whole nope. So question is ------what the hell, why are they so damm hated what is it? Is it thier diet? What?
