Palestine). In the 40’s when Europe was under siege, first the UK and the US both tried to negotiate with Hitler, knowing quite well that the Jewish people (and Catholics, Gypsies, etc.) we’re being murdered. It was more popular to be peaceful than get involved and, as politicians and political parties are aware, war of any kind can be used to an advantage, particularly those who are communist, socialist or progressive – there is no war unless it is “what’s in it for my political behind”, rather than any senses of morality and fair play.<BR/> What saddens me the most is the fact that Jews and Christians must hide their religion under a proverbial rug if in public (or running for public office), in this nation now, unless of course, it is in the better interest of retail, or if one is opposed to a candidate or their base (Right Ring Christian nut)or a progressive non-religious trying to get elected.(Kerry and Kennedy, those two stalwart Catholics of Convenience, can be seen parading in and out of Churches on the local news – regardless of their support for abortion – especially during a campaign!)<BR/> Aaron, I roll my eyes constantly, I have no doubt there will be dialogue with Iran before the next four years are out –see Carter and the last attempt – which, incidentally is to blame for all of this – Carter’s great love of Khomeini and all things anti-American and anti-religious. Anticipate Afghanistan becoming a bigger quagmire than Viet Nam, considering who ran that war and the outcome of those who would be politically correct on a battlefield.<BR/> Now Chuck, there has been outrage all along – only you are not going to find any outrage on CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, (even FOX) at Iran’s murdering U.S. troops – it’s always “alleged” – and would be if they had 8 X 10 color glossies of Iranians caught in the act included in the article or broadcast. It is a start that you are outraged, that I am outraged, and that we are not alone in our outrage – over Israel’s mistreatment, over Iran’s deceptions, and over the lack of morality that guides nations in the name of religion – for power – or worse, a nation that is no longer guided by any morality authority and abhors religion. It is woe to those that ignore history, as it is bound to repeat itself.Tina Hemondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116707390046000723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18949680.post-79880459128639850082008-12-31T16:39:00.000-05:002008-12-31T16:39:00.000-05:00There wasn't much outrage when Iran was supplying ...There wasn't much outrage when Iran was supplying weapons to be used against American troops in Iraq, why should this be different?Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467510776931664234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18949680.post-40789494416374864792008-12-31T12:53:00.000-05:002008-12-31T12:53:00.000-05:00Guess we'll have to "sit down and talk with" Iran....Guess we'll have to "sit down and talk with" Iran. *rolls eyes*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18949680.post-58918524882333547402008-12-31T12:20:00.000-05:002008-12-31T12:20:00.000-05:00Finally!
