Does anyone think that Israel is right by making a collective punishment to the whole country of Lebanon ? would the Israelis accept a collective punishment if Lebanon kidnapped 2 soldiers from their borders? is the price the lebanese are paying 3000 billions damage and 800 civilians dead including babies would really lead both countries to peace?

I heard with my own ears tonight on the Charlie Rose show, the undersecretary of political affairs in the US state department, Nicholas Burns, state two things:

1. They will be asking the UN for international troops(which means us too) to be sent to South Lebanon.
2. They expect the Lebanese military to fight against Hezbollah.

So I ask a question about this in a question here and what did the absolutely moronic republicans reply, ".. to get my facts straight... and I was being liberal... "

LOL I truly feel sorry for republicans. They seem to be living in a some make-believe fantasy world.

Oil giant Chevron loves its former executive Condi Rice so much they named an oil tanker after her. How truly awful must you be for the oil industry to like you that much?

Everyone goes on about her supposed 'cleverness'. And she herself rates George W Bush as 'someone of tremendous intellect' - so the bar has been set quite low here. Let's hope she never gets a job as say a GCSE examiner here in the UK, because that would blow her mind!

Rice did attend the University of Denver at the age of 15, but it was only to study the piano, and that is not, lets face it, a proper subject. Neither does it prepare you for high office: no one's going to look at Jools Holland in a crisis are they? Not unless somehow it involved boogie-woogie.

So, am I the only one that cannot bear the bloody woman?

An Islamist-Israeli conflict may or may not be more dangerous than the old Arab-Israeli conflict. Secular Arab nationalism was, after all, also capable of posing an existential threat to Israel. And the Islamist threat to liberal democracy may or may not turn out to be as dangerous as the threats posed in the last century by secular forms of irrationalism (fascism) and illiberalism (communism). But it is a new and different threat. One needs to keep this in mind when trying to draw useful lessons from our successes, and failures, in dealing with the threats of the 20th century.

I don't agree with their actions or sympathize with their cause. I just think to call anyone involved with Hezbollah a "terrorist" is misleading, considering their guerilla warfare tactics. Does any Muslim with a weapon qualify as a terrorist?

Why is this Arab-Israeli war different from all other Arab-Israeli wars? Because it's not an Arab-Israeli war. Most of Israel's traditional Arab enemies have checked out of the current conflict. The governments of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia are, to say the least, indifferent to the fate of Hamas and Hezbollah. The Palestine Liberation Organization (Fatah) isn't a player. The prime mover behind the terrorist groups who have started this war is a non-Arab state, Iran, which wasn't involved in any of Israel's previous wars.

Why does America see pot as such an evil thing? Cigarrettes and alchohol kill more than any drug known but they are still legal. I guess it's only okay if the government can tax the sh*t out of it.

Should we stop funding Israel? The Muslims attacked us on 9/11 mostly because of our alliance with Israel. We have given them $108 billion, and they do NOTHING for us.

Is it just the wealthy Zionists in this country that are dragging us into this alliance?

From some of the posts I read it is the American right wing and the bible thumpers that seem to want to control what I read think say and question far more than any other group I've encountered.
Perhaps it a small few that are very vocal or just idiots who got a computer I am not sure.
If I don't agree woth thier position I am either a traitor or stupid if I ask questions they don't like they assume I am against America if I dare question Israel and it's policy I am anti semite. The list goes on -

They seem more interested in controling everyone around them than anyone else. They seem at least one of the bigger threats to free anything I've ever seen.

Funny that maybe it's true you become what you fight and you are what you hate -

Oh no does that mean deep down I really want a Crown appointment so I can do nothing and make huge amounts of money for doing nothing??????.Hmmm His Excelency the lieut Govenor Trout of Ontario?????

Greetings. I asked a similar question on the U.S. site, I thought I'd ask here as well, hoping for the perspective of Australian nationals.

Do such issues as wire-tapping by Homeland Security or the U.S.'s policies at Guantanano Bay seem to be erosions of freedom, travesties of justice... or just necessary evils? Do you think the world looks to the U.S. as the best example of a free country?

I feel we have seen some freedoms erode, but that we still have many freedoms other countries do not. England and Denmark seem "free" to me, perhaps in ways my own country is not. How does Australia stack up? I consider it a free country, though I don't really know much about its government. Is it fair to say Australia is a democracy that still recognizes the British crown?

I believe in the United States and the vision the founding fathers had for it. I think it's seeing some hard times, and I'm concerned about the current direction we seem to be going.

Thank you for any answers. :)

Increasing minimum wage equals higher incomes for min. wage workers. This is a good thing right?
Well, what if that increase means that businesses will make less profits while making the same amount of product? Businesses will not allow their profits to go down, so they will increase the cost of their products. This means that your dollar will no longer buy the same amount of product. This is called inflation. So, about 2-3 years after the minimum wage increase is passed - your increase in pay will buy the same amount of product that it bought before the increase, and the dollar will be worth even less than it is now.

I asked why I couldn't find an Iranian news agency to hear how the war was reported from thier point of view and someone said it had been blocked by Yahoo and google is this true and if so why are they censoring the news I can download?

If it is true what are they afraid of and who gave those orders?

Again IF true I am very very disturbed by it - if false oh well.

And by the way I found a site listed for the Tehran daily news

Anyone want to know what the Iranians and other think report don't report etc etc go to http://aldaily.com/ and look through all the middle east newpapers and yes they are published in English.
