the report published by human rights watch called fatalstrikes;israel's attacks against civilians in lebanon.the report covering from july 12 to qana bombing has done a careful compilation of incidents involving attacks on civilians and civilian vehicles . in both categories, victims and witnesses interviewed independently and repeatedly said that neither hizbolla fighers nor hizbolla weapons were present in the area during or just before the israeli attacks took place.it further stated that "by consistently failing to distinguish between combatants and civilians,israel violated fundamental tenet of the laws of war;the duty to carry attacks on military targets only.the extent of the pattern and the seriousness of the consequences indicate the commissioning of war crime.

The "terrorists" that the U.S. is "dealing" with right know are spread out all over the world. Can invading a few countries that may have some of these terrorists really help. I believe that the way the GOP is handling these wars is only creating more terrorists and draining away the soul of America. How can we stop these useless wars?

occupy Lebanon up to the Litani River. The river is between 8 and 22 miles from the border? How will this protect them from rockets which have a range up to 40 miles? I think it's for the water rights and they will occupy both sides of the river. Any other thoughts?

Have them come to a developed country, work for an individual, have clear job description and safety standards, and government controlled standards, and set period of time, so that they can return to home country with some savings. Their take home pay would be about half the minimum wage, or perhaps less. Its a win-win situation. They would be protected by all the same laws as anyone else, but they would be the personal property of the sponsor til the end of the contract.

It's not really a question but a fact. If he had courage he would have gone to serve in Vietnam; he would have sent his daughters to Iraq; he would have mandated a draft; he would have raised taxes. A courageous man would inspire his nation instead of dividing it; he would lead by example. George is a coward. Hey Republicans, if you support him, aren't you also cowards?

This is not a dig against any particular ideology, nor is it aimed at anyone who has posted on this board. There just seems to be some good exposure to conspiracy theories here and I wanted to see if others have noticed this in their real lives:

I find that people I encounter who are fixated on government conspiracies also show a lack of personal accountability in their own lives--Divorces are always the spouses' fault, reckless driving tickets are only given because "the cop was a jerk"...things like that.

If you know people obsessed with conspiracies, do you find this common? Is there another trait youve noticed?

I understand Supply and Demand. But what part of that is driving the oil prices up? There is plenty of Oil, and the Oil companies are making Billions per Quarter, then how can they be allowed to keep raising the prices. BP caused an increase in oil prices when their pipeline burst. When the pipeline gets fixed, will the prices go down? They make it look like the amount of oil is decreasing so they may raise the prices but come on, our governmant needs to step in someday. Back to BP, how is it going to take a month plus to fix a 16 mile strech of pipe that lays on top of the ground. They made hundreads of billions of dollars last year. Thats not enough to speed things up?

After all he has violated the Geneva Convention in his treatment of detainees, and allowed U.S. forces to use torture. What would we say if the leader of a middle-eastern country did these things?
