I think "Someone" wants to give a good excuse to send more US troops to Afghanistan. If Americans hear this story, they would agree to enforce the military presence in Afghanistan. Is this "Someone" CIA... or Mossad...

In your comment, you always play with the words. (like your "What if" game) Your comment is always the critics about the other posters and I don't see your own opinion.
What do you mean by "your lack of comment of any close looks at Hamas behaviour and of the possibility of war crimes on the part of Hamas soldiers." ?
Did you read the caption?
Netanyau says "No war crimes trials for Israelis".
My comment is "we need to have a close look in the possibility of war crime by the Israeli soldiers and judge them" What else do you want ? When I say "we", it's of course I meant the UN. What do you expect ?
Don't try to change the subject by expanding the point. That's what you do always to scramble the points. For me, what you write doesn't make much sense on this issue. I don't see any of your comment about what Netanyahu said. You just trip up the other poster's comment. Maybe you want to show that you know a lot of things, but when it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant. (or maybe it's relevant like when the butterfly wings in Brazil, there is a storm in Europe...) Don't try to justify yourself by writing unneccessary long comments. Short precise, relevant comments are always the best.

Kinniku I am suggesting that we need to have a close look in the possibility of war crime by the Israeli soldiers and judge them, in spite of what Netanyau claims. We are talking about the war crime in Gaza perpetrated by Israel, not about the getting back the territory or the good relationship between Israel and Egypt or Jordan.
I wanted to point out that there are actually many Jews who disagree with Israeli policy. And I don't think they are anti-semites, like you affirm.

The Israeli government is one of the most rogue administration. Even the many non israeli and israeli jews are against its policy. You can find many sites like "jewish voice for peace" that asks the action against Israeli government. I used to hate Bush US government, but I didn't hate Americans. I have two jewish friends and they hate what Israeli government does, too. (They are not israeli) Many posters here mix up the Israeli government and Jews. Most of us hate Israeli government and it's policy but not Jews (who are not neccessarilly israeli). So anti-Israeli government isn't anti-Semitic.

If you read the history of the Vietnam War, you would know that this was not the only atrocity that US soldiers made. The rape of the village women were un ordinary activity of the US troops in Vietmam. This My Lai case is one of the worst massacre, but there was My Khe massacre of 90 people as well. What thay don't say, is that the most of the soldiers didn't participate the killings, although they didn't try to stop them neither. They were just watching the raping and killings of their fellow soldiers. As someone stated, the biggest problem is the army's cover up attempt. And even now, the real criminal who ordered the massacre is not convicted. Un fortunately the same kind of thing happended in Iraq, too. The history repeats...

There is a big difference. There is no law specifically condemns those denials you mentioned, except the Holocaust. Unfortunately, in many western countries, which are dominated by the Jew influence, made this law of anti-Semite. You have no right to criticise Jews publicly. It's againt the law.

I think he is preparing to put the blame on Bush and leave the responsanility of their administration, in case if he is charged for wrong doing. He just want to say that for many things, Bush decided by himself, without his advice.

Badsay - Here, we are talking about the municipal run public pool. They have their own rules. I guess it would be different in the amusment park swimming pools. They may be more tolerant. There are the pools where you go to swim, while there are the others where you can have fun.

I wonder if they come to play in Europe, too. I saw them 26 years ago when they gave the concert in Nice stadium. They were still young and played well, but many of us noticed that they never talked to each other, they didn't even looked at each other. They just came on stage, sang and gone. As it was the only concert in the region, there were Prince Albert II and Princess Stephanie as well.

I should have said "I don't think this is the correct total translation"
Even the BBC wrote :
"Just as the USSR disappeared, soon the Zionist regime will disappear," he said to the applause of the participants.
But I guess you knew this. Sorry for commenting on your post.

I don't think this is the correct translation. You can find many right translations on the net. :
"But just as the USSR disappeared, soon the Zionist regime will disappear," he said.
Ahmadinejad went on to say that “when I said the Zionist regime must be wiped off, the Zionist media of course harshly blasted me, but everyone must know that just as the USSR disappeared, this will also be the fate of the Zionist regime, and humanity will be free.”
Tehran, Dec 13: Iran's hard-line president said Tuesday that the Zionist regime will one day be "wiped out" as the Soviet Union was.

makabi - What are you trying to explain ? Prison is still a prison whatever they can have. What you describe is in most of the prisons of the developped countries. Nothing special, but none of the prisoners wishes to stay if they don't have to. The prison is the place where they take your liberty, which is the most important thing in our life. ( do whatever you want, at any time you want, go anywhere you wish or to be with the beloved ones )
The problem is that nobody knows if those 11000 Palestinian prisoners were arrested with a good reason and if they were judged correctly.

"Iran seeking change in US policy Iran welcomes an offer of "a new beginning" in relations from Barack Obama, but says the US must change its behaviour. "

The title of this article is a complete mislead. When you read the article itself, Iran doesn’t dismiss Obama’s statement at all.
The UK and French news report that Teheran take Obama’s statement rather positively for the future good relationship , although they are saying that they will wait for the action, not only the words, to trust America.

"A survey of 2,228 Iraqis questioned nationwide last month for ABC News, BBC and Japan’s NHK, found that 85 percent believed the current situation was good or very good—up 23% from last year."
I think it all depends on what you compare. During the insurgents/US fight, more than half of the Iraqi people answered that Saddam's days were better, in the survey. Now after those massacre days caused by the invasion, they sure find the actual situation better than before.
Don't forget that the intrastructures are still not completely re-established. (especially the water & electricity supply)
