    FS> While it's true, Israel occupied Palestine in the late   
    FS> 1940s illegally, a similar beginning applies to all nations   
    FS> -- including the US.  A stronger group takes over a weaker

    FS> Since Israel has now occupied that land for six decades,   
    FS> they now have as much right to it as do the Palestinians.   
      
    I have made the point over and over, the only right Israel has   
    to exist is the fact that it exists.   
      
    FS> I don't believe the US should support *any* foreign   
    FS> country, including Israel, Egypt, etc.  However Israel has   
    FS> the right to live in peace!   
      
    Only they have to let their neighbors live in peace. They also   
    have to deal with the fact that the inhabitants who were there   
    before they were are still there.   
      
   ->> After that Americans are not any   
   ->> more free people. You are tapped, you are searched at airports like   
   ->> criminals, they cannot freely and safely travel around the world, etc.   
      
    FS> We are NOT searched at airports "like criminals".  The   
    FS> airport searching is in the interest of our own safety.  If   
    FS> you don't like being searched -- and *I* don't -- then you   
    FS> can refuse to take a plane anywhere and travel via other   
    FS> means.  As *I* do.   
      
    Besides, criminals are not searched as deeply as air travelers.   
      
    ...   
      
    FS> That's true enough.  Furthermore my sympathies lie with the   
    FS> smokers ... and *I* do not smoke!   
      
    Mine don't. Smokers still have the right to smoke, just not   
    inflict it on non-smokers.

   ->> A Christian priest is afraid to cite the Bible that sodomy is   
   ->> abomination. Probably, very soon any Christian will be considered as an   
   ->> offender, just because he reads the Bible.   
      
    FS> It will never come to that, though some will make an

    Yes. Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck among them.
