On October 23, 1983, over two hundred Marines were killed by a Hizbollah bomb in Beirut. Oh come on now... Don't hold a grudge.. They're a "kinder, gentler, Hizbollah now".... :0) Just don't try and convince former CIA station Chief, William Buckley's, family about how "reformed" they have become... Hawk

Stockman, how can you post such ridiculous stuff? Do you read it before launching it? Are you trying to censor Scott's posts, C2? Don't. The act of posting is not an act of signaling one agrees with the content of the post. In fact, it should not. Some have done that. And it diminishes their contributions to the thread. Makes it look as if we are engaged, only, in posting wars. How about everyone offering posts which make us all think a bit more, rather than simply defend their own point of view? If that post didn't help you think, fine. If you don't like it, fine. But to say it should not have been posted on the grounds you disagree with it, is not good.
