Thinkagain? Oof, looks like berserker polemics again! I would sadly venture to guess that you are a Jewish reactionary. Sigh. Methinks a great many American Jews (for you don't usually refer to yourselves as Jewish Americans) are locked into Victimhood. Obviously, there can never be any just settlement with Victims. Many notable Jews have said words to the effect that "antisemitism" is the glue that holds Jewry together. Certainly it quells any moral pangs about exploiting the dim-witted "goyim." But is an Israel at peace truly unsupportable? Jordan and Egypt have kept to their peace treaties. War may be a racket, but peace has its dividends. Just a thought....

I got close to the edge in that area twice. Drank a whole gallon upon arriving at water (Manzana Narrows) the first time, because the water hole halfway there was full of rotting trout. The second time I ended up fantasizing obsessively about having cold Squirt sodas ... I went from wanting one to wanting two - the first to cut thirst and the second to enjoy, and eventually extended the fantasy to five or six. But even still, the warm waters of Happy Hunting Ground Campsite tasted less nasty than you'd expect. Be conservative or be lucky, O ye hikers! Nature bats last, alright. Don't try to be "Mr Unstoppable." Self-confidence was likely the end of Jackson Still. What a terrible waste....

Peace Now is an Israeli group calling for peace within 1967 boundaries.

By heaping foreign aid on Israel, we are enabling their slow-motion take-over of the West Bank. Also, BushCo has drafted a lot of neocon think-tankers (90% Jewish) into top government posts to help put the war paradigm in motion. Is all this going to make life rosy for Jews here and in Israel?
The peace paradigm was proved possible by treaties that have held with Egypt and Jordan. If Israel was to give back the West Bank, with settlers' houses intact, the Palestinians would have no compelling complaint. Israel could say "Yes, we took your country and your grandfather's house, but here is land under the Palestinian flag, with houses."
There WOULD be an ugly fallout from the intransigentsia on both sides, for at least ten years, worse than what happened to Sadat and Rabin. But the alternative would be worse for both sides, and worse for the wider world, especially if we dive into the vortex any deeper than we are now, with GawdblessAmerikuh nukes a-flying.
Besides, Israelis appear to have almost zero concept of gratitude (much less reciprocity) toward us mere "goyim." What very few, small favors they've done us are overshadowed by the USS Liberty attack and countless other acts of perfidy.

What a nice break from Judeo-corporate propaganda! Someone should let our sold-out Congress and sold-out Senate know that there is another side, and that many on both sides want peace. It's a shame that our many Jewish anti-war leaders can't compete with the ready cash of the Israel lobby... whom they never mention, ha ha. Do we need full public campaign financing already? (Duh.) World peace might depend on it. Viva J-Street and other Jews for sanity!

When Mexicans say "Mi casa es su casa," they don't mean it literally. If we let our delinquent kids run all through their home, we wouldn't be invited back. Deportation of criminals would result in a further decrease in criminality among the remaining illegals, due to healthy fear.
Trouble is, our Democratic "representatives" worry about the Hispanic vote, and Republican "representatives" care for business interests.
Full public campaign financing would undercut party loyalties, as candidates wouldn't have to support the pre-existing platforms. And if elected, they wouldn't be beholden to corporations and special interests. Please explain this to your friends! Californians voted against voluntary public campaign financing in 2006, by 3 votes to 1.

Gaza strip: 4,118 persons per sq km. Singapore, Monaco and Macau are the only countries that exceed Gaza's population density. Gazans will continue to have a low quality of life come peace or come war. I hereby recommend to all potentates who might be reading that Israel negotiate a peace with neighboring Arab countries, such as it already has with Egypt and Jordan, returning to the 1967 border, leaving the West Bank infrastructure intact ("Oh, did we take your home in 1948? Well, here's a home, and it's in Palestine.") Then, allow a travel artery on the Egyptian border from Gaza to the West Bank, and presto, no more Islamic terrorism against America, and no more endless "War on Terror"!

Israel defends itself in Gaza, while brutally expanding on the West Bank and East Jerusalem on the American dime. Noletaman and Thinkagain conveniently forgot about THAT! Let's visualize no beef with Islam. Full public campaign financing would greatly undercut the dictatorial power of the Israel Lobby, and slay a lot of corrupting corporate dragons as well. We can support such reform and bring back democracy, without ever having to utter the dreaded J word.
Unfortunately, most Americans fear accusations of "antisemitism" to the point that they'd rather see our country go under with them on it, rather than risk being called names in public by glib bullies. But the ADL canards are all so stale that they've become transparent! Squawk forth, all you who think America matters!

WTFudge?
"Adonis_Tate hassles army and marine recruiters and would rather leave the country defenseless. He's a proponent of that disgusting "Arlington West." He fraudulently takes donation money down there.
But let the reader decide!"
I have never hassled a recruiter, advocated defenseless, or even visited Arlington West, much less taken fraudulent or any other kind of money down there. Where does this passle of allegations come from??? I'd really like to hear a plausible case for a misidentification of persons, because the alternative is shameless slander.
My basic outlook is that we could have peace with the Muslims if we weren't raiding their oilfields or lavishing an ungrateful Israel with weapons and mega-bucks. What I said in my earlier comment was that our military is heroic, but it's being misused, entiende? Something tells me that "delaGuerra" (i.e., of the war) is a meaningful pseudonym, but I won't go further in presuming to characterize him.

The underlying problem is that war and peace are in the hands of a venal government (both executive and legislative branches) who are on the take from war-profiteering corporations and the Israel lobby. Our professional corps of politicians don't work for us, the people. This gives a distinct degree of validity to direct action on the part of protestors. Consider that the Boston Tea Party was executed after the Brits put a tiny tax on discounted surplus tea... Americans were paying much less for it, but the principle mattered more. Isn't it great to see that a precious few Americans still uphold principles?
But having said that, let's also hear it for the naive idealists who enlisted to fight our 9/11 attackers and ended up in Iraq instead, whether they've seen through the scam or not. Their sacrifices are nobler than most of us can comprehend. Brave idealists are exactly who we need defending us. More is the shame of the corporatist Bush gang and the Israel-firsters who diverted our soldiers to Iraq. Up against the wall, chicken hawks and unpatriotic tribalists! And to Don Jose: our coalition of the willing, including Spain, were mainly willing to grab a piece of Iraq's oil industry.

Ah, these are the good old days! Wait till the Asian bankers dump our preposterous IOU's on the international currency market, and the US dollar comes down like the WTC towers. Massive unemployment and hyper-inflation might have YOU thinking criminal thoughts, but too late - today's criminals have already refined their techniques on the streets and behind bars. There truly is a corpus of criminal street smarts that would bewilder most of us. HOWEVER, los pinches pandilleros (gang-affiliated gentlemen) tend to be truly lousy marksmen. Prepare as you see fit, but do learn to distinguish real threats from imagined ones. Gracias.
