Israel has created this problem, It is not a whole lot different to South African apartheid, nor to the situtation that existed in Northern ireland.

The manner in which they were dealt with is the manner that this one will be dealt with in order to bring it to an end! peacefully!

I can go on but what is here will suffice to illustrate my point!
Now will you answer one question?

Where in the World have you seen the Israeli approach to hamas work?

True Conrad, but is that not our condition, rolling the stone upwards and it falling back down, without hope of suceeding we might as well not get out of bed each morning.

Right now it looks like Obama is going to try to reach the top, Why not celebrate spring?

That's very good! I am taking his relative lack of new policy on Israel as a time buying device. That will be one of the real tests for Obama!

I know, but we are working on getting the Mods to let them back as everyone enjoyed finding holes in their "logic" so much and it is a free country, with free speech.

I think it is referred to as "unintended consequences"

RE: Obama Has Impressed Me!

Just to add to that, even though we fought the British Empire for centuries we never hated the British people. People do not hate the American people, they hate what has been done in their name by the leaders like Bush.

"The American dream" was something that generations of Europeans aspired to, The re-establishment of that will take a monumental effort, and you have a leader in Obama that is second to none.

Here's to the future, for all of us.

Good one!

Would you believe?

Ancestry.co.uk identified his great-great-great-grandfather on his mother’s side as Falmouth Kearney, who fled Ireland and the Great Famine at the age of 19. He arrived in New York from Liverpool on March 20, 1850, then moved on to Ohio to be among relatives.

Not that it matters, but somehow poignant that he has both African and European heritage as well as American.
