As a small ISP in Central California I have access to a pretty good sized mailing list. A friend of mine involved in the effort to bring together the Jewish and Christian communitites asked me to send out a flier announcing a Pro- Israel rally entitled "United We Stand With Our Friend Israel" which took place in Fresno. Out of the 1500 or so recipients I received 6 replies back which were quite negative. A couple equated Israel with Naziism. I was shocked.

I thought to myself, what's wrong with these people? Isn't Israel our ally in the Middle East? Isn't Israel the only democratically representative government in the Middle East? Only one of the negative replies that contained any kind of reasoning was on from a client who appeared to suffer from a liberal PC education. In her statement she spoke about how she thought it was innapropriate for me to have used my access to my clients to promote a Pro-Israeli message.

To make the story short, I came to realize that these people are cowards and don't want to take a stand for what deep down we know is the right cause. There are absolutes, there is right and wrong. What America stands for is worth defending and fighting for, and no, we can't all just get along. (Sorry Rodney).

Turkey is a Democratic Republic, in theory. It is a little rough in practice.
