This is an incredibly good, and worthy cause. Do not believe all you hear about the violent Palestinians and the Israeli victims. There is violence on both sides, but the Israelis are the fourth largest military force in the world (thanks to U.S. tax dollars) and are massacring the Palestinians, on land the Israelis took from them. Thechildren are th most innocent victims of all.

on Colin Powell for Obama? at 15:34 08/14/2008

Colin Powell refused to state publicly what his political affiliation was, even when serving in a Republican administration. When he was hung out to dry, he left the Bush administration. This isn't so much a matter of him "switching sides," as coming out publicly for a candidate for the first time. I think it would be a powerful endorsement for Obama -- much harder for McCain to try to pull the military-superiority act as he has been. And it IS true -- being a POW does NOT make you a better commander in chief!
