"Hezbolla's assertion of a great victory over Israel and the "destruction of Israel" are absurd. Their mighty missles weren't as effective as a few motivated suicide bombers. They had virtually no guidance and 90% landed in open spaces. Pathetic"

I thought you'd be glad most of the missiles fell in open spaces, rather then on houses and densley populated places like the IDF bombs and missiles?


"Jerusalem----February 7.....In response to Iran's best-selling newspaper announcing a competition to find the best cartoons about the Holocaust, the Israel News Agency launched an SEO - Internet search engine optimization marketing contest to prevent Iran news Websites from reaching top positions in Google"

Iran's action in this regard is reprehensible. Disgareeing with someone's politics is one thing, but deliberately poking fun at their suffering is horrible. I wonder how their (Iran's) one Jewish MP feels?
I think it would be sufficent to block these cartoons (if they are ever written) from appearing. I think it'd be only fair though to block cartoons like the one equating Mohammed with a suicide bomber as well (eg. like the ones the Danes printed).

In the aftermath of the tsunami that killed 200,000 people in Indonesia, I saw a little nes insert that said it all. while on the front page of the paper, the headlines proclaimed that the world had already pledged some millions in relief aid for victims of the disaster, on the inside pages, a few inches of news column related how the Kremiln had approved the year's military budget at some $400 million (or billion, I forget, but a a fortune anyway). I guess the US military budget would have been comparable that year. So, we give a few hundred million to helping people, saving lives, and billions to developing better ways to destroy them.

BTW:
Another typical typo from whatever gremlins upload this stuff to the thread: the sentence that reads "But the facts and figures you'd demand would fill a book and I just have time to write it right now" should read "I don't have time to write it right now" obviously.

Once again, forgot to put my name (real name, not a nom-de-plume, by the way) to my last post.
