Good for S. Korea...
I also heard that Tongsun Park was found guilty today in the Oil for Food Program..(he is from S. Korea, and your post reminded me).
mystery-ak - Now I'll worry even more. What a situation to find themselves in.
My aunt was going to go to Jerusalem this summer but decided against it for security concerns.
I'm trying to keep up with NEWS here...give it a rest, would you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about that, RouxStir. My knowledge is limited to what I read here and the book Lipstick Jihad. They certainly love all western things and want the mullahs gone.
One man's *tourist* is another man's *hostage*...
YES! It was hilarious...the jury only deliberated a few hours.
Oil closes at new high: $76 and change
"The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." -- Proverbs 16:4
God's will be done. I pray His will is to protect our troops, bring strength to Israel and give them victory over the evil-doers.
On to Damascus.
Agreed. :-) He knows the end from the beginning, but that doesn't mean He causes it all.
OMG...I hope US citizens aren't fleeing into Syria.....
Right now..their love affair is with the "poor" terrorists that have been so mistreated at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo..BLECH
I filled up this morning....
He let them eat the bad apple. He did not stop them. That is the very definition of NOT CONTROLLING.
Really, how convoluted does this have to be?
And I meant to say, you could well be right, given what they've been taught in the schools for the last 20 years. It just wasn't the sense I had from the book.
The author of that book was born in Iran but moved to California with her family at a very young age and that may have colored how Iranians related to her, since she's so westernized.
How convenient...
Well...the Islamofascists in Nigeria must have gotten their memo...
Freepers are intelligent enough to glean their own facts anyway.
I understand that 100%. But why is the widespread public opinion that the Serbs were the aggressors? The Serbs were defending themselves just as the Israelis are now. Even Sen. Specter was the one that drew up the resolution authorizing air operations and missile strikes as part of a larger NATO operation. We must be fair, and now Kosovo will become independent. If we are going to fight Islamofascism we need to fight it everywhere and equally.
That is my hope, too. Syria as a *safe haven*..since WHEN?? OMG, this could get disastrous, for more than one reason.
