This. I think Israel would be wise to understand that an invasion will likely lead to occupation. The propensity for a flood of an insurgency that could pour into the area would not be desirable for Israel's interests. I'd like to see a coexistence by the two nations.

Then there's the whole Hamas being fueled by Iran thing...which just complicates things further.

I know it is pie in the sky, but I figured since we were listing what we were hoping for I'd chime in.

I think he was trying to come up with a new euphamism for wanking.

Did anyone listen to Ron Paul's farewell speech? It was pretty hardcore I thought.

The thing that makes me laugh is it isn't even "we think BC is evil". They just are under this misconception that the morning after pill and IUDs cause abortions.
