Are the Israeli attacks on Southern Lebanon in accordance with International Law, and simply disproportionate; or do they lack legal support based on international law?

I am an old political science graduate with an emphasis on international relations. I can see no benefit that the U.S. receives by supporting Israel. There is no logical reason to dump such a disproportionate sum of money and time into that country. What I am saying here is that it just isn't worth the investment. For the sake of our own national defense, we must dump Israel and dump them now.

And if you say that they can afford it, you're an idiot.

Wouldn't it be FAIR if everyone paid 20% of their income in taxes. Someone who made a million dollars would still pay a hell of a lot more than someone like me who only makes about 40K!

i don't support hezbollah, or terrorism of any kind, but don't u think isreal has gone too far and inflamed the middle east by bombing innocents. most of lebanon is not pro hezbollah. why are we so pro isreal, they are not perfect, and personally, i think isreal is merely our watch dog in the middle east, and we need to stop supporting countries for our own personal gain. doesn't this affim 1/3 of the worlds belief that we are selfish power hungry tyrants. personally, i think we need a mediator.

or fail to keep it intelligent? I am conservative, and every discussion I have with a liberal begins with them making their point, then completely ridiculing mine, then signing off. I just want to have an intelligent conversation!

Welfare is there for ANY American who may lose his or her job, or become injured/incapacitated for any reason. The war In Iraq is now supposedly about freeing IRAQIS of Saddam and "spreading democracy." This is of NO BENEFIT to the American people! Are you saving on gas now that American oil companies are controlling the oil there, or are you paying MORE THAN EVER (by controlling the oil, you can restrict its distribution and cause the value and price to rise)? Are the persky terrorists all killed, or are there more terrorists then ever and angry Iraqis killing American "invaders?"

Sorry but I do NOT want to pay a single penny to fund a cause that is not benefiting the average American, but rather benefits private enterprise and supposedly the Iraqi people.

Israel has given us another ridiculous example of their 'special' status' in the order of things. When any other nation's soldiers are 'captured' by the enemy, we say they are 'prisoners of war'.
But Israeli soldiers are 'kidnapped'. Can anybody please explain the difference? ?The Chosen People' get 'kidnapped' and the rest of us are 'prisoners of war'????????

I'm not entirely sure what this section is for, so I'll continue with my "question"...
I'm just curious as to why people are so afraid of it? What harm will it do to them? Why do they think that if a gay couple gets married that everyone else will become gay as well? Doesn't EVERYONE have the right to be happy? What do you think about the law being passed to ban Gay Marriage?

What is the deal with "the Congressional Black Caucus" ? How racist is this ? The black Americans would be jumping up and down if there was a Congressional White Caucus. So why do we have a Black one ?? I think that the racist card by them is over played and has gone over the edge. What do you think ??

Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.

As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming “North American Union” that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.

Hi all. I am from Iran and I would like you to know Iran: As you know Iran is a vast country and is mostly surrounded by Arab nations. Some people think Iranians are Arabs! But they are Persian in fact. Iran used to be governed with kings. Our last king sold out our country. When Iran had a king she could not develop because our betrayer king gave our oil to U.S for free! That is why U.S was good towards Iran before. So people abolished monarchy. Later Iraq invaded Iran and a severe war started that took 8 solid years. Of course U.S gave Iraq bio weapons so there are still people here suffering from horrible effects of bio weapons. Ayatollah Khomeyni made our country a democratic one. So people could choose their own president freely. At that time everywhere were ruins because of the war. Iranians are hard working people and they soon started to repair damaged cities. And now here is Iran. A great country for living. Iran became independent since she did not depend on U.S anymore. We developed in a very short time. And Iran began to produce productions that she needed. You see today even we export cars and many other high Tec electronic devices that are being designed and produced inside Iran. Iranian students are so intelligent as you see our greatest scientists are all young people under 25! Do you know why U.S is against Iran having nuclear technology? It is not because Iran is going to attack somewhere! These are all excuses to stop Iran’s unstoppable development. Because at that time Iran will be completely independent and this is exactly what U.S is afraid of. U.S wants all countries to bow her and be dependant on her. U.S uses every single word of our nice president to prove that Iran wants to attack U.S and Israel! If you study Iran’s long history you will see that she have never attacked other countries but she have defeated herself. In fact according to our religious teachings Moslems do not have the right to attack anyone. (So it is so ridiculous that some people call Moslems terrorists!!!) U.S says Iranians specially women are not free! Interesting! You would not believe me that Iranians are free much more than other nations! Thousands of strict rules in other nations even do not exist in Iran. Women? You say they are not free because they have to wear scarves! But you forget that it is a part of our culture and religion. In other nations Moslems do not have the right to wear scarves. In fact they are not free. Iran is a westernized country and western cultures conflict with ours that causes some problems: if you visit Iran you will notice that most of people wear beautiful formal cloths of every color. Because they think people in U.S do the same. But as far as I know usually people in U.S wear cloths (similar to underwear or jeans) and are very casual not formal. Iran is a very beautiful country with lots of historic places to visit. People are so warm and kind to each other. They are very hospitable. I advise you to visit Iran and get to know it yourselves not to believe what Bush says about it. If you have any other questions ask me. I will add it to details.

Because that is what this war is costing each American. Those who support the war should put their money where their mouths are! (But we all know these hypocrites would flip-flop and suddenly claim they're against the war.)
