Who in the hell edited this thread to remove my posts and soccer_studs ? Is the 'guest' above that posted the " Mark Hertsgaard " thread an admin of this forum ? If so would you please standup - stepforward and tell us why and who you are ? Several posts are missing before your posted the lame brain 3rd grade dropout trash by that guy. His isometric viewpoint is a crying shame !
It is about the same stupid thinking as Bush planning the 9-11 attach that was on here and disappeard with the editing.
CiKoTiC wrote a very good rebuttle to which I agree 100 %.

As far as this poll :
---------
"A poll last May found that only 32% of Americans knew that more Palestinians than Israelis had died in this spring's fighting."
------------

How many of these Palestinians were 'suicide bombers' ? He didn't mention that aspect. Yet on the CBS news the other night a Palestinian mother was interviewed and telling us how proud she was of her 21 yr old son that she had raised up to be a suicide bomber and she was about to send him out to take out some Israelies, how sad, yet she didn't volunteer to go herself !

The kind of trash you posted on this day was a deliberate act to stir up emotions as you have. This is a cowardly act to which you hid behind the name of ' guest ' which clearly further defines your character and personality.
The U.S is the most generous nation on earth, and smashed Hitler in WW2 from a continent away after he went thru Europe like a hot knife thru butter with hardly any resistance, then Japan from another continent away at the same time . They had to learn not to ever repeat another 'Pearl Harbor'. Hereohito had the Japaneese people thinking he was a God !
If the U.S. opened up it's borders without restrictions, every other country in the world would be empty, as they would all come here, and you know why as well as I do.
Now tell us something good about the U.S. ! Then walk the trash over to the trashcan.
