Today we have nukes as a deterrant primarily...wouldn't you agree?

Agreed. Combined with the fact we have already used them.

Howard Dean claims that the ME problem would not exist if a Democrat was President. Even the Democrat brought in to be the F&B won't defend Dean. LOL

I'm sure it has Tx...I think that he felt a real spiritual connection, religiously, while he was there. Israel really is a beautiful place. There is so much there historically and religiously. It becomes, because of it's historical diveristy, exotic and mysterious, in a lot of ways.

Christian or Jew, it really does touch your soul.

Technically we have never used a nuke on an enemy.

Thanks to a Freeper that clued me in...the ones used in WWII were Atomic Bombs.

Something different between fission and fusion IIRC.

"Haaretz ticker not updating here..."

Same here and at times over the last week - suspect server overload or possibly denial of service attacks.

Dingy Howie Dean says that the situation in the ME would not have happened if a Dem were Pres.

What a schmuck. As usual, he's as subtle as a fart in church. Opportunistic, unsupportive, false, transparent...the Doomacrat platform. I cannot wait for the day after election day to see the lloks on their faces when they don't take the House or senate ands the excuses begin.

My husband is originally from Iraq. He told me yesterday that he would like us to visit Israel someday. The ancient history there interests him.

He told me this while snuggled on the couch with our dog (dirty animal) and munching on pork rinds (taboo).

His mom is rolling over in her grave I'm sure.
