Israel's "war" with Hezbollah a good idea

I think it's great that Israel is standing up to Hezbollah and demanding the return of its citizens. Since the Munich incident in the 1972 Olympic Games, the PLO has continued to pick on the little nation of Israel. You can read about it here. If someone broke into your home and kidnapped your family members, you'd want justice, wouldn't you? You would want to know that your home was safe from such future attacks. You'd want your family members back. And you would want justice for the crimes they committed. It's about time Hezbollah and the PLO were told to stop. Israel may be a small nation but its fighting spirit is huge. I honor them for protecting their rights and sovereignty. It's a clear sign that Israel will not be putting up with the continued abuse. The PLO has never taken the responsibility for its actions. This is no exception. Just as in regular civilian law, criminal behavior will be punished. In regular society, criminals are disarmed, their weapons confiscated, and they are jailed until they "reform". This is no different than Hezbollah and the PLO continuing to commit crimes against Israel. They must be disarmed, prevented from any more criminal behavior, and most of all, Hellzbollah leaders must be tried for their crimes just as anyone else would be if they commited a criminal act.

Israel will be a great ally for us against the war on terrorism against Iran and Syria.

Independence Day

Independence Day is the day to celebrate the birth of our Freedom sinced in July 4, 1776, by our Founding Fathers. That was the Declaration of Independence and the beginning of Freedom for America.

American values are based on the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution which defines our freedoms and birthrights. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of justice. Freedom from persecution. These documents set the path for the American way of life.

Now the Republicans have destroyed that. Bush and the Republicans have marked the ending of Freedom for America.

It is shameful that the Republicans are committing our troops for more killings. Murder is not an option. Bush and the Republicans Policies in Iraq are dangerous, reckless, and shameless.

The Republicans acting the most idiotic never served in the military or conveniently dodge the draft like the cowards they are. They run like cowards the first chance they get and send other people’s children to do the tough work in Iraq. When there’s something to lose, its never the cowards, it always the brave soldiers that die.

Republicans, Don’t Run Like Cowards. Go over to Iraq and fight like a real man. It’s about time you stopped striking yellow.

Republican’s “Good for Nothing” strategy. Let other people risk their lives and do the work of real man while they sit back and use others like “Good for Nothings”.

Declaration of Independence

American values such as Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness as stated in the Declaration of Independence have been seriously challenged since Bush and the G.O.P have taken office. They have constantly violated our unalienable rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. These rights include the Right to Privacy, Freedom of the Press, and Right to a Jury Trial. It's ironic that Bush would say immigrants should learn American values when he is the one that hasn't learned it.

Let's look at Amendment 6. "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." How many times has this been violated since Bush took office? People have been kept in jail cells for years without knowing the charges against them or any hint of a trial.

Let's look at Amendment 4. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Now think about Bush's NSA phone tapping program and the Patriot Act. How many things have been searched through the Patriot Act without a court order?

Amendment 1. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of the Press. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Now the Republican Congress is threatening reporters.

I quote this from the Declaration of Independence, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

The Declaration of Independence is worth reading in whole. It's only one page of writing.
