The differences between US and them:
And yes, Libs, there is an “us” and “them”.
We, in America (and Israel) have the most advanced techonlogy.
They choose to live in the dark ages, where female genital mutilation is a priviledge.
We as Americans (or Israelis) have a rich, prosperous, developing country.
They have a backward, neglected hellhole.
We, as Americans (or Israelis) defend our country when attacked.
They kill innocents when they are unprovoked.
We, as Americans (or Israelis) value life.
They value ……….death.
Blessings and healing to the families and loved ones of Staff Sergeant Yotam Gilboa and Staff Sergeant Yonatan Hadassi.
Your boys’ selflessless have taught us the essence of honor and sacrifice.

THE LOSE OF LIFE GIVES ONE AND ALL THE OPPORTUNITY TO VALUE AND CHERISH THEIR OWN LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF THOSE LOVED ONES AROUND THEM…
SO REMEMBER TONIGHT, BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN THE HANDS OF A HIGHER POWER AND VISIT THE ANGELS OF SLEEP, TELL THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER.. THAT THEY MATTER, AND YOU LOVE THEM.

Just remember, whenever someone talks about alleged American or Israeli provocation, the words of Voltaire: “For the wicked everything serves as a pretext”

God bless the USA and Israel, for all of our faults we are not a culture of death and destruction.

I’m really glad that the Bush administration doesn’t seem to be putting ANY pressure on Israel to back off their self-defense against the terrorists Hezbollah….

I second Blue Star Chronicle’s comment. I’m really happy about that too!
It’s amazing to me that anyone can think that Israel is wrong in this, but there are so many who do. I wonder how they would feel if they were living in Israel??? Some of them - being braindead - would probably feel the same way, as I’ve heard there are some Issraelis who don’t agree with this war. Well, I guess every country has their share of idiots. I’m glad America doesn’t have a monopoly on them!
I have a “I Stand With Isreal” banner for your blog over at MRB if you are interested.

It primarily seems to be the media that is on the wrong side. God bless Israel and the USA.
