dontb1,,,, It''s Isreal''s response to mortar attacks that haven''t been slowing down, I think --- But yes, not good for the peace efforts, Olmert still has to talk to Hamas

[donbl1]

J, that will get Israel condemnation on humanitarian grounds far beyond sending in tanks.

[j-whitman]

dontb1,,,, They did today, check out the article on MSNBC.com

[donbl1]

J, I am sure Israel does not want to roll tanks into Gaza. Hamas has continued to fire rockets since they can no longer send in suicide bombers.

Israel is getting ready to cut off electricity and water to Gaza.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,, Bigger steps & in the right direction this time..
.. Did you read today about Isreal rolling tanks backed by air craft into the Gaza Strip today ??
- It doesn''t look as though they want the "Peace" they were talking about yesterday.

[donbl1]

J, step by step.

dontb1,,,, You can leave the UAE & North Africa, & China out of that equation you use on womens rights

[donbl1]

Tucker, China''s population is roughly 4 times the US. The "per capita" doubled over that time period - and, the population also increased.........

In addition, their neighbor, India, also had significant but not as large.

Check some of the China oil deals during the past 5 years and where much of the ME oil goes. Most of the ME oil does NOT go to the US.

I wish you goodnight!

J, Iraq is kind of a "two step forward, one step back" operation.

The women will eventually get their guns back but it will be after some face saving by the government. Probably, one of the women arrested a Shia senior tribesman or something.

BaghdadsHere,,,, Great a bunch of Iraqi women as police without guns, they can throw their purse, huh ??? Bush has brought them more Islamic Law

[donbl1]

Actually, women''s rights is one of the improvements in all the Middle East (and South Asia) since America became proactive.

Might be one of the reasons the men are mad......

[bill1fj]

I''m sorry, but what are we doing spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a system that will NOT let females have rights, which restricts religions, and which generally is out of control with all human rights.
Lets trade all our money spent there for an equal amount of oil, and then turn the country over to the residents.

j-whitBoy....See the good job Bush is doing in Ramadi? Now even women can be police officer in a country where they once had no voice.

At any rate -- It''''s going to take a Progressive to get us out of the Stone Age we''''ve been put in
