MEG I was looking at some yahoo pictures of the crowd in the streets chanting their Palestinian sprew and noticed that it was a crowd of young teenage looking boys. It is so depressing. But then it was also depressing to me when I went to see my son ship out to Kuwait and when I got to the base and saw all of the young American males and females, 18 and 19 year olds that were shipping out also. I questioned some because they looked so young and so small, they had not really considered having to go to war, some had joined the military in order to further their education, and some to better their economical situation. Some had only been in the military a short time. Boy did they get a surprise. My son has been in the Army for 12 years, he did 2 peacekeeping tours in Bosnia, but had never been involved during a battle until now.

But I really feel sorrow for those Palestinian children because they have never had the opportunity to know any other way. They have been taught hate since the beginning of their lives.

Iran 'actively developing nuclear bomb' says Rumsfeld

The US defence secretary yesterday tapped into deepening international concern about a clandestine nuclear programme in Iran, warning that Tehran was actively working to develop a bomb.

Donald Rumsfeld's remarks, delivered during a visit to Germany, appeared aimed at exerting pressure on Tehran and the UN's nuclear monitoring agency, which meets next week in Vienna to decide how to respond to Iran's failure to honour nuclear safeguards.

His intervention also appeared to advance the next project of Pentagon hawks: regime change in Tehran.

I agree.I know it is a shock to them.They have not grown up hating and wanting to kill.I pray for them and am grateful to your son and all who serve.I was glad to hear of the arrests of the 400 or so Iraqis who threaten our troops.
