Why is it that so many people scream about Israel killing civilians but say nothing when Hezbollah targets nothing but civilians with their rockets, suicide bombers, etc etc. Isreal troops wear uniforms and ask people in areas they are going to attack to get out. Hezbollah hides behind civilians. Yet no one is complaining about them.

Used to be when you joined the military you looked forward to making rank because of better pay, housing, and other perks...seems now all ya have to look forward to is retirement. My husband and I joined back in 92, and although I'm not active duty anymore he is still in. Seems you get all the breaks today if you are an airmen. You get these huge bonus's for enlisting and reenlisting, and base of preference, amongst other things. When we joined up the only perk was being able to say "I'm serving my country...and a paycheck the first and the fifteenth. Also when we joined up we knew it wasn't just for the college and there might be a darn good chance we could have to deal with a war at one time or another. Why do all these young kids think that the military is just another way to finance college today? It's the military and it is wartime, last glance I took. I remember someone saying "What do you mean I have to go to Iraq? I've got to finish my colllege classes first".

...More specifically, working for the Canadian embassy, preferrably in northwestern Europe (Brussels, etc.)?

What education would I need (major)?
What job experience would I need (where should I start volunteering or what sector should I gain experience in)?
What life experiences do I need to have?
...and anything else you can think of.

I'm a Canadian university student at a crossroad here!

Israel first attacked USS Liberty, a clearly marked American ship in international waters, using unmarked jet fighters while jamming the US Navy communications and International distress frequencies. The unmarked Israeli fighter jets dropped bombs on Liberty to destroy its antennas, then send in those gunboats to torpedo the ship in an obvious attempt to sink it. Then, when Captain McGonagle ordered the lifeboats afloat preparatory to abandoning ship, the Israelis moved closer and machine-gunned the inflatable rubber rafts, rendering them incapable of saving the lives of the American sailors. Just as the US Sixth Fleet got wise to the Israeli attack and sent American fighter jets to Liberty's assistance, Israel had been loading troop helicopters full of commandos whose mission was (probably) to "finish the job" so that there would be no witnesses to the Israeli treachery. Why did Israel do this? Is it some persistent quirk of Jewish character, similar to what we see now in Lebanon?

i posted earlier and came up with some of the bases i should make my choices when i enlist.ft hood, Fort Sam Houston , fort bliss. I am going to try to pick one of these because they are closest to home (oklahoma city) and they are near larger cities (for my wife to work at a big hospital as an LPN. what is the priority that i should put them in? in terms of school opportunity for myself and wife, living conditions, family recreation (we have 2 kids) and career for my wife. I know this is a giant wish list and i probably wont get either of them, i at least have to try. list them in priority and why. also I would love to go to germany and my wife is truly skeptical because of the distance and rarity of seeing family. do we get any kind of compensation for flying back and forth from germany to see our family? if so explain, also try to pursuade my wife into going to germany.

Am I the only one here who sees this massive problem. Can someone explain to me if there is any logic in that. In fact America is the biggest supplyer of financial and military aid to Israel. If they didn't supply all the bombs then the war would never be at this level and so many deaths would never have occured in Lebanon. How can the world allow this to happen. A neutral country will be a better option at trying to bring about peace than a country heavily in favour of one side

Israel is killing innocent children and people now and you are silent. why??? http://www.fromisraeltolebanon.com

Some say it is not the time to be sentimental, it is time to fight back the real terrorism in this world.

However, I cannot help the tears running down my cheek, and the sorrow breaking down my heart.

For in the name of which justice Israel had the right to love us so much?

For how can they ask their children to sign the gifts they are sending us to Lebanon?

For how can these human beings (if there is anything left out of humanity in them) can hurt the Lebanese so much, after being hurt so much?

The victim cannot turn to an oppressor. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe all Israelies are war criminals like their government. I refuse to believe that in the name of fighting terrorism we destroy the beautiful land where Jesus made his first miracle.

God, if you still have some faith in your creation, I call upon you… Reveal yourself, for peace is bleeding without your help. Human beings are becoming real savages, life is becoming much more then what we deserve to have.

You, the man above, look at the children of Lebanon…

is anyone else sickened by sight of these NEOKONS like Uncle Tom Condi Rice playing the piano for her masters ? She is just their puppet to send overseas to meet with the zionists and throw more money and free weapons at the zionists while the zionists are dropping bombs on children, like they did in Qana yesterday where the NEOKON zionists murdered 35 kids.

Iran is 90% shia ISLAMICS
IRAQ is 65% shia ISLAMICS
BAHARAIN is 70% shia ISLAMICS
YEMEN is 40% shia ISLAMICS
This is common knowledge , and is a list of nations we as america have diplomatic problems with .
ARE we infact supporting only one side of a holy war that has been going on for hundreds of years .
WE choose a side it seems and all the shia followers of ISLAM are our enemies.
WHY have we adopted this policy of dealing with several country's that have a belief that is as old as ISLAM and the seperation of the 12 tribes of PALESTINE .
WHICH is the center of the ISRAELI conflict in the middle east .
ONE thing all ISLAMICS seem to atleast agree on is ending the state of ISRAEL .
SHIA ISLAMICS TEND to use force more often the SUNNI"S do but both use the same means to achieve a common goal .
THE end to the state of ISRAEL.
HOW can we meet the needs of both ISLAMIC secets sunni and shia when the only thing they agree on is AN end to ISRAEL .HOW do we as a nation remain objective .
