Fight fight fight, that is all they do. Getting rid of them all is the most cost effective way. It would be tragic, however it would be beneficial to many. Do you have any idea how much money the United States Gives to Israel to support just their health care? Compare it to what a working man gets here, you would be appalled. What do you pay for health insurance? What is your deductable? How much does your company pay for your lousy health coverage? Compare it to what they have. Now count the money we spend in sending troups or funding all their fights. Count the soldiers, the ammo, the cash. They are an expensive mission. I say turn them all into glass and get on with helpng the kids here in our own nation learn to read. Most third graders read at age five level. We are ignoring our own nation while we try to fight a never ending battle.
Do not think for one instant that I do not support our troops or our President. He does have the final say. I back him and congress all the way, because we voted for them.
But... we take very good care of these people, perhaps because someone thinks they are the chosen people. I think they are nothing but we have created. Welfare rags.
We give, they take. Now they expect. Just like we have done to mny other cultures, making them reliant on us (US). We will never learn.
Same subject, I think Sheehan is a disgrace.

Because they don't want to even look at the facts.
It's too much trouble to actually research the issues, and too much effort to debate the issues on their merits. It's far easier to just spit back propaganda, blame a minority group and call them names.
War is tragic. And the inevitable deaths of civilians is the most tragic part of all. But every war has such casualties, and if you don't look at them in context, of course they look like a horror show.
I find it amusing that the same people who are condemning Israel for a thousand Lebanese casualties don't seem upset at the hundred thousand Iraqi civilian casualties so far during the US invasion of Iraq. And unlike Iraq, Israel didn't start their war.
But everyone wants a scape-goat. And blaming a foreign country, whose government is led by a different religion, has been the popular choice for centuries.
For those whose mind is open enough to consider looking at this dispute from another point of view, read the story below.

People confuse the true, bibilical Israel that disappeared thousands of years ago with the false 'State of Israel' which was unlawfully created and imposed upon the mideast after WW2 by the 'League of Nations'. Are these modern Jews even remotely related to the ancient Israelites? No matter, they sure know how to work it!
If I broke onto your house and started helping myself to your things and you confronted me, do I have a "right" to kill you in self-defense? Such is the logic of the false Israel.

Because we think that Israel is the only terrorist (plus our own Bush) and they are not protecting but killing!!
Because the years and years of Zionist control over the media is over and people need to know the truth about our best friend (Israel)!!
Because people like are full of it and don't give a **** about innocent people on either sides!!

Everyone has the right to defend themselves from any kind of terrorism or oppression. Likewise the Iraqi people have the right to defend themselves against American troops who rape and murder innocent civilians in particular the woman and children which have been highlighted on the news recently. Are all American troops taught how to commit these atrocities, or does it just come natural to them ?

Israel is none of our business. We should get the hell out of the middle east. They have been fighting for 1000"s of years & will
continue to do so.

Because people don't realize that war is won by disproportianate force and that any person or group that is attacked has the right to self-defense.
