I have always boycotted The Today Show in the form of not watching it. But I am told that Today Madonna appeared on the show, and sang her new Anti-American song with Matt Lauer. So now I am seeking out the sponsors of that show, and boycotting them as well. And if thats not enough, Weatherman Al Roker is out promoting hate crime legislation because he couldn't get a cab fast enough in New York City!!

Ain't gonna be no peace in Palestine/Israel, 'til the Palestinian murders stop, and until the Israelis stop building settlements on land that doesn't belong to them.

I must disagree with the part of the land not belonging to them. The countries around them started a war and lost, therefore, the land technically belongs to Isreal. If the violence would stop from the Palestinians, I think an agreement could be reached. Israel offered (IMHO) the moon, and the PLO rejected it.

There was never any agreement that Israel would get that land as "payment" for any such thing.

In fact, the land belongs to people who had nothing to do with the war.

This is just a sop to the radicals in Israel. The lands need to be given up, and the Palestinians need to have a state that can be held accountable for any further terrorist atrocities by the radical Pallie factions.

The rules of war say that you get to keep land that was taken during the conflict. Isreal started a bad precident when it gave back the land to Egypt in exchange for peace (course it was worthless land). However, the Arab world started a war (1967 i think) nad Isreal kicked the crud out of them, and leagally had the right to keep the land. Out of the goodness of their heart (and much pressure from the US and UN, the allowed the Palistinians to live there) - too bad they want all of Isreal. Like I said in the previous statement, Isreal was willing to give all the land back (for a Palestinian State) but the PLO rejected it!

Do you have high-speed Internet access? (It's taken me quite a while to right click the photos that don't show on the page first loading.)

Terrific amount of work here, and well done. I'm right-clicking to copy and paste numerous photos and captions for a friend, which gives me a lot of appreciation for the amount of work it took you to find, copy, format and post all these.

Way to go.

I wish I knew what all that stuff is our soldiers pack onto their bodies. I'm afraid I'd get a headache just trying to remember all of it each day, and knowing my life could depend on remembering all of the items.
