One has to forgive those who post inclusive post instead on exclusive post who are unable to see that the republicans are as much to blame as the democrats for the current condition of our nation. Rick has alot of compassion for what he believes unfortunately he fails to see how inclusive he is in his remarks. Casting blame soley on the democrats infers that the republicans are guiltless in our current state of being in the US. He fails to see valid criticism of this nature instead takes it as a personal affront on him.

For someone who claims to be a Christian he can hit below the belt and hard. J. Whitman and Jerri held there own though. He gets me in a rage so I try to lay low and talk when Iam calm.

Amazedd,,, Sure, once they are started.
... My point was this is the 21st century, people are better educated, this is the 6th war since the 1900, many in other countries, people understand what they are, or should by now..
.. This is now a global world & countries are free to make more choices -----
---- Even the radicalness has toned down in the last 20 years, Arab''s & Iranians aren''t about to destroy Isreal (That was just rhetoric to drive the masses), but none will back down from threats ---
---- Wars are obsolete -------------- Terrorism is a battle best fought by police, laws & ideaologies not military''s.

From http://www.neareastconsulting.com/surveys/all/p211/#political
This is a well known and respected polling/consulting firm that has been conducting these polls for years amongst the Palestinians. There is also the Harry S Truman Institute polls which will not post here as they are in adobe which mirror these. I trust these polls and the depth of the polls more than a CBS news article.

starleo146 -- Bush was entirely wrong for not inviting Hamas instead of this worthless stooge (Abbas) to this peace summit. Hamas would sit down and discuss this just as it is being done right now with Abbas. It is Hamas who have more power in Palestine, NOT Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah. I truly believe that talking directly with representatives from Hamas would have made this peace process much smoother. But it can still be acheived with this man Mahmoud Abbas. Just that it will take longer, much longer...

Have you ever read the Near East Consulting polls on Palestinian attiudes towards multiple subjects one of which is if a earyl election were held today who they would vote for. The majority would support Abbas and Fatah from the polls which are recent. We are almost in the same identical position as the Palestinians and the average Israeli as we do not have any statesman that truly represent the people.

That is a good point and that is my next question and in that demonstration from Hamas today was quite telling to me.why Hamas is still there is because of Iran I think they funnel all there needs and keep them alive. Did he invite Syria? I heard he did why leave Iran out?

There is just no reasoning with sininrick.
..............

Heh! Well, I meant to spell his name "singinrick"...

...but considering that hatred and intollerance of your brothers and sisters IS a SIN in the eyes of God...

...then the name "sininrick" fits quite well I''d say!
