And don't forget the prison revolt.
Prisoners in a western Iraqi prison staged an armed revolt Friday morning that lasted for at least two hours and left 10 policemen and six prisoners dead. Three al Qaida in Iraq prisoners escaped and are on the loose, Iraqi police said

Yesterday, I watched a movie on Sundance named "Jesus in India". Premise was that he spent many of the lost years (12-30) in India.
He visited America, too, and mingled with the Apache or some other Indian tribe. Maybe this movie made the same mistake that Columbus did.

Heh. I know it's anal, but I'm doing the math of how much it costs him to send 3 people to Hawaii, so knowing where he's posting from helps with that, too.
For the plane tickets alone, he could have come to Grand Rapids or sent me to Pittsburgh 8 times.
I just need to do the math so that no stone is unturned in my mind, if that makes sense.
Plus, he broke his promise of not posting here until New Years.
Wonder if he read any of the threads?

Well, it's pointless for the US to work seriously, evenhandedly and as if lives depended on it. After all, we have no leverage at all in that part of the world, and, besides, Israel/Palestine relations have nothing to do whatever with the rest of the Middle East and Islam elsewhere.
And nobody's ever succeeded at the task, save Jimmy Carter, who, of course, is History's Greatest Monster...

Well, as long as there are people, like some in the story's comments, who think this foul business is "protecting our freedoms and our way of life," it's going to go on.
How one mitigates this sort of national insanity, I don't know. But, until it can be, we'll be starting and fighting hopeless wars around the world.

If you only repeated those quotes which scholars claim can reliably attributed to Jesus of Nazareth (or someone else in that precise time period), I'm betting in under 3 minutes.
The Sermon on the Mount would take up a great deal of that time.
