If democracy holds, it will take a generation, before we really notice a changed mindset. I had acquaintances that grew up in Russia and immigrated here before the Soviet Union disbanded, it's interesting to see and hear the mindset of someone who has lived in a totalitarian environment compared to how most American's think.

He's a McCainiac with visions of grandeur IF ONLY he could hitch his wagon to a political star and really get somewhere. He talks neocon but then bails when the going gets difficult. Ask Miss Marple. She's the expert.

Agreed, but sitting where they do, I imagine they hope to keep their heads down and not make enemies on either side, perhaps help on the sly but not publically.

One thing I've always noticed with Russian friends and with young Russian students visiting is how much more they know about our own government than we do - and it's literally all they talk about.

On Sunday, July 16th at 11:00am, AMCHA – the Coalition for Jewish Concerns will be holding a demonstration/ memorial in front of the Syrian Mission to the UN, 820 Second Ave. (between 43rd and 44th Streets), in Manhattan.

Participants will first gather in front of the Syrian Mission to protest against Syria and Iran, the states that are directly responsible for Hamas and Hizbullah.

From there, participants will walk to the Israeli Mission, 800 Second Avenue, where we will host a memorial service for the fallen Israeli soldiers, and offer prayers both for the continued safety of the Israeli soldiers fighting the war against terror, and the safe return of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers.

I totally agree. I wouldn't be surprised to see the draft reinstated before christmas if this escalates. This must be stopped once and for all.

From Mark Regev (Israeli Foreign Min. spokesman): The Israeli command is planning on closing schools, restaurants, etc. and telling it's citizens to bunker down. It's giving the "Home Command" military to close down public and private institutions to save life.
