Israel has had success in keeping out suicide bombers in the last few months. How did they do it? They built a wall in the west bank. It keeps out the people they want to keep out.
But all is not well. The World Court has condemned this action. More recently, the UN has called for its demolition. Israel and the US voted against the rest of the world.
I don't know much of the issue, so I don't know the reasons why the entire world is against the wall, especially when it has saved lives, but I do know that if America wants to be taken seriously about democratic ideals, then it should respect the wishes of the entire world. If not, the US continues to be seen as having double standards.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
