I was watching the history channel about prophets of the old testaments and it was very interesting how the Jews have always been exiled at one time or another. There is always a group of people always trying to kill the Jews I don't get it what are they afraid of? Or is it just plain hatred? I have to admit this thing with Iran and now that Hamas is the government for the pals. things are about to get very nasty. And we have our beloved troops over there and I worry about them.

Our troops in Iraq should be okay. It is interesting and comforting to note that our real total troop strength hasn't been widely published for some time (last I heard about 15 years ago). What we see from the media is not always truth (sometimes understated for the purpose of cooperation). By the way, I wonder how the following program (the last to mount) is getting along.
