"The Iranian parallels to the runup to the Iraq war are eerie, with all types of peace efforts being tried to placate the angry "Uncle" Sam--or should it be Uncle Sharon? Even the Russians assure us all spent Iranian reactor rods will be returned to them for reprocessing. But this, too, may not be enough for the war hawks to "shut" the window."

"There is no such thing as an "authorized" settlement. All settlements are illegal under international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits an Occupying Power from deporting or transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies, either directly or indirectly. The rule applies to all structures-from the one-trail outpost to the 8,750 acre Maaleh Adumim settlement housing close to 30,000 settlers."

"If government entities can get away with censoring material delivered as part of a private contract by means of privately owned equipment, then what's to stop them from censoring books, videos, newspapers, magazines, and even the internet? The First Amendment, you might say?

"The West has spent the last two hundred years combating Islamic thoughts in the hope of dissuading Muslims from Islam. This campaign began with the orientalists who studied Islam and attacked its beliefs and rules."

"Muslims have become your little puppy. Say sit, and we will; say, fetch and we’ll run like a wild dog; say, sleep and we’ll snore. Don’t worry about us, because we’re on your leash."

"It is dangerous to give governments—whether state or federal—the power to kill people."
