Sure, why not “influenmce” a democracy into becoming a dictatorship so a few greedy little cowards can continue to make at fast buck? LOL makes perfect sense to me. It’s exactly what you stand for.
That kind of thing is written all over you man.

Discussants:

Nathan Brown presented his Policy Brief “Living with Palestinian Democracy,” published by the Carnegie Endowment in May 2006.

Brown argues that by isolating the Hamas government financially and diplomatically, the United States and its allies have succeeded in bringing the Palestinian Authority to the brink of collapse.

Brown’s remarks focused on three questions: what have the United States and its allies done in response to the Hamas victory; what are the implications; and whether there is any alternative policy.

No group in Iraq was more vociferous in its celebration June 28 of the transition of power from the U.S.-led coalition than the ICP. Outside the party’s office in Baghdad, a dancing cheering crowd waved red flags as sympathetic passing motorists sounded their horns.

Iraq’s biggest left-wing party has received a surprising amount of support and credibility even while U.S. troops fight Islamic terrorists and remnants of Saddam Hussein forces.
The answer is that financial support comes from diverse sources, all of which are anti-West, particularly anti-American.

Most are linked to global interests, which do not coincide with those of the U.S.

Intelligence analysts say European communist parties are responsible for some of the funding, but countries such as North Korea and Iran are at the forefront of funneling funds to their preferred communist branches. Iran has a long-standing obligation to the Workers Communist Party of Iraq for its support, including providing vital intelligence during and after the Iran-Iraq war. The North Koreans are interested in pinning down in Iraq as many U.S. troops as possible to keep them away from the Pacific and the Far East. In addition, funds are being funneled by Syria as part of her anti-U.S. agenda. Other funds come from large communist parties in Asia, predominantly from India.

Now go stop the whole world from turning.

THIS time, the world knows Israel has committed unforgivable war crimes, and will hold them accountable.

64 UN Resolutions, Israel has ignored.

Saddam Hussein was removed for ignoring 16.

White phosphorous bombs used on civilians? By international law, that’s chemical warfare, as criminal as Saddam Hussein’s choices.

Israel has very few allies anymore, MG.

And its because of their own choices.

I was young once, and thought Israel could do no wrong.

I’m older and wiser now, and I understand they have become a rogue nation.

We must not, as Americans, be complicit in their crimes.

Period.

The Shah of Iran was our puppet.

He created a Secret Police that arrested, tortured, and killed anyone who disagreed with his policy imposed by America, WITHOUT trial.

If you think that’s democracy, you’re an ignorant fool.

Corporations are rational entities. They are not going to support any group or institution that does not, in some fashion, further their own self-interest.

Well, you seem to spew the usually retort…However, I am amazed you could not even speak about the innocent people from an island who had nothing to do with that conflict. But you can argue they served a purpose…NO?

I saw caskets arrive and people with missing limbs. I saw tears and cries for missing sons, daughters, fathers and mothers who never came home. I see the pain of those that today hold the “recuerdos” of the those who died. And those who have loss limbs can speak of what happened as if did yesterday.

I was young then now older…believe me I didn’t understand … I do now. And you my friend, will allow the killing of Jews or any other group just to keep up with Justification of whatever!

Sometimes I think there are people in our government joining hands with others like-minded around the world who just seem to like to inflict
pain on people. And then there are populaces like
here in America who will buy anything if it’s wrapped in red cellophane.

CNN has reposted the video and has a story on its front page about it. They are standing by its authenticity.

Allegra Pacheco, a senior UN official in Jerusalem who helped draft the report on the incident for OCHA, added: “We are not making an accusation of deliberate action” by the Israelis.

“We are just saying the facts. In Gaza, no civilian is safe. As long as violence continues, civilians will be injured and killed,” she said.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said the UN report should be the basis for an investigation of “war crimes elements.”

Her spokesman, Rupert Colville, said the “war crimes elements” would refer to allegations that Israel impeded medical teams trying to care for wounded civilians and failed to care for those injured in the attack.

Pillay told an emergency meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva that any harm to Israeli civilians by Hamas rockets was unacceptable, but it did not excuse abuses carried out by Israeli forces in response.

The ICRC has repeatedly made statements to the effect that any attack against the Israeli civilian population is unacceptable.
