Current events

Well I have been watching the situation in the middle east and specifically Israel for the last few weeks and that is a pretty scary deal. Everyone is condemning Israel for what they are doing but it appears to me that they are only protecting their citizens. Without their ability to protect themselves in the middle east they would quickly be overtaken.

I have a friend who is from Israel and she is great. She is a very smart and strong woman and has taught me a great deal about Israel. She has told me that her country will not stop fighting until their soldiers are returned to them. Here is a link to information she sent to me about the situation in Israel:

One of the biggest issues we have in the world today is the corrupted influence politics on everything in the world. Politics in and of its own isn't bad but it seems that politicians believe the way most people think. That is to say that most people want a quick fix to every situation and it appears that politicians want that too. Also it appears that the United States is becoming a society where no proof is needed for people to believe someone. This causes many problems because people do not do the research to ensure they have accurate information before they act. It is starting to appear that President Bush didn't have accurate information on the WMD's in Iraq before he acted. However, I still believe that Saddam needed to be removed from power based on all the corrupt things he did while in power.

So I am not sure when the world will learn to all get along but we need to all realize that we are here to stay and that even though we have differences we need to learn to love others and realize that differences are a good thing and embrace those that are different from us.
