Correct... that's the point. I work with kids and adults that are... I also don't like the way it's been used as an excuse lately for everything from Patrick Kennedy to who knows what. They would have you think it's a license to go wild and can't be medicated.

It would also help if the UN wasn't rebuilding the roads that Israel took out... as for as Hez resupply.
Then I don't understand what you meant when you seemed to be predicting something big coming from Israel...
I wasn't close to the tv but I THINK I just heard Brian Wilson say (to the Israeli ambassador to the US) that he'd heard Olmert is not pleased with the IDF performance.
Did anyone else hear this? IF that is the case..then perhaps there's more division than we thought?
Again- I'm not certain I heard that correctly..
And Shalit?
1/4 my family Bipolar. 1/4-1/3 ADD. The rest of us slide somewhere between the two but are not clinical. Makes for lively times and interesting approaches to life. So my brother marries a bi-polar woman and I marry an ADD man...
We still don't go out and do evil things like that(outside of stupid teenager behaviors, (and one relative who robbed banks!)).
Another Senior Ministry offical? Is Ynet turning into the NYT?
I like that. Let the media keep lying... it suits Israel's cause.
Political fighting between the hardliners and the wafflers.
What thread was it? I'll pay them a visit.
Israel pulls out of Hezbollah stronghold

"" If sometime soon a different, heavy hand approach is not used, I fear our great-great-great grandchildren will either still be fighting this battle or wearing burkas.""
I think you're right. However, unfortunately I'm of the opinion that all the * great-great-great's * aren't needed. Sadly, if the current trends continue, it will happen sooner than later. ;( ;(
Olmert is under lots of pressure. I know there is pressure to get out with as few casualties as possible. I know there is pressure to hurry up and get it over. It's becoming very expensive to the economy and the well-being of his people.
I am not sure if he's found secure poltical footing. He needs the heart of a lion, the wisdom of Solomon, nerves of steel and generals who will do the right thing over and over and over again.
I don't know if he and his circle has what it takes, and I don't know enough about the internal workings of Israeli power structures (power structures often being outside of the official leadership channels) to know what will happen next, but if they look too waffly, the right's going to pounce, and the left will push the other way and Israel could collapse into a political struggle at the worst possible moment.
May God guide the right advice into his head, and may he be given the wisdom to follow it, whatever is the right thing.
"I think there is political waffling going on in Israel"
I'm really stressed at the perceptions that I am getting from the media as to how things are going with this war. Someone who has a firm grasp on the problem and the solution needs to be at the helm in Israel. I can't believe that Israel (and the US for that matter...but then again, we allow Hezbollah to propagate here in the US) is going to let Hezbollah continue to exist in Lebanon. If this matter isn't settled, Israel and the US are the big losers. I think it's time to let out all of the stops and continue until Arabs are on their knees begging.
"the Israeli navy ought to check into that claim"
I find it peculiar that Israel is told of these strikes by Nazi-Rallah speaking in the media.
they don't, but we do (at least with the Israeli vessel hit a couple weeks ago)
19:32 Nasrallah: Rice aims to impose conditions on Lebanon, serve Israeli interests (Reuters)
I surely hope the Nasrallah speech stirs the right action in the right people....
stirring roux or roosters? (My slow mind just caught the pun in your name).
When people ask me how I make gumbo, I say, "First you make a roux....."
"He needs..."
...to act militarily on every intelligence report indicating that there is even a slight possibilty of Hezbollah activity.
