<<< No countries on earth rival the US and Israel for barbaric murderous violence >>> That article isn't just a wee bit biased? That's not to say that I think everything this country and Israel does or has done is right or even justified. And just to set the record straight...I'm not a fanatical pro-Israeli supporter....but... How would you react if misslles were being fired into your neighborhoods everyday? When was the last time you read about an Israeli suicide bomber blowing up a restaurant or shopping mall or bus full of Palestinians? Should Israel strike back with the force and weaponry that destroys cities? No. But your article doesn't reflect the reality of the situation that has been ongoing for generations. I doubt the children's TV shows in Israel teach toddlers to hate all Arabs or Palestinians. Quite common in the Arab world. In a perfect world both sides would have come to some sort of agreement for peace and learned to co-exist side by side. The article you posted makes no mention of the peace proposal Isreal made to Yasser Arafat some years back that gave them everything they wanted...but was turned down cold. Ever wonder why? As to North Korea...maybe I'm missing something here....but why is O'Bama so wrong for asking the world community to "Stand Up" and start taking notice? As to Iran becoming a nuclear power... you have a country run by Islamic fundamentalists that openly supports radical and fundamental Islamic groups... trying to become a nuclear power. Don't you see a problem here? I may not have the answers...but I sure as hell can at least see the problems. Blaming Israel and the US without understanding the problems is not constructive. I may not agree with the Israeli responses nor do I think much about our foreign policy especially in the Middlleast....but to lump them together and label them as "barbaric muderous violence" isn't exactly accurate. I guess what bothers me even more was seeing that 4 readers had recommended your posting. What a shame.
