I did have a few thoughts to set down.

Israel Pulling out of Gaza is perhaps the greatest mistake Israel, as a nation, can make-- pulling out of the West Bank and Jerusalem would actually be greater. Members of Major media, and their sycophantic worshippers-- to say nothing of other governments --who think the violence will end simply because Israel moves out, has no firm grasp of reality, or history for that matter. Israel must defend herself because no one else apparently will. Not even the US government. Wasn't it G.W. who declared Israel must pull back to the 1949 Armistice Lines? What? Give up Jerusalem? A lot of blood will be spilled over that one.

Speaking of Israel, What is Cindy Sheehan doing making pronouncements concerning Israel's responsibility toward peace? I thought she was a grieving mother, demanding not a first, but a second audience with the president. She's either a) being used by the leftist media, and all its pimps, or b) she's a willing whore for said pimps. In either case, she's lost the high ground.

Continuing with this Theme of Degrees... Looking at a map, the West Bank of ANY river will be the Left Bank. With that said, what say you to France pulling out of the Left Bank and giving it back to ... the French?
