Well...there you have it.

I was only attracted to the Democrat party for its socialism anyway. And the only thing I ever found redeeming about the Republican party was its nationalism. I will use this opportunity, which you have just made me aware of, to start looking for a political movement that combines these.

Just another white boy gone over the hill--but I just might be back.

Of course I agreed with it. Congress, American government generally, is for sale, in pieces, and the Israel lobby has bought the Middle East piece. Many informed and reflective Americans perceive our Middle East dilemma and realize that we are not pursuing American interest there. Surveys and polls reflect this. Though there are stirrings, as reflected in your column and the Carter and the Mersheimer and Walt books, they do not seem enough to make a significant difference, at least for the time being. What happened on "9-11" may pale in comparison to what is to come. But no matter what, I suspect we will respond with the same lack of reflection that got us into Iraq.

Congress is for sale--in pieces, and the Israel lobby has bought the Middle East piece for sure. But to what avail in the final analysis, other than America's bankrupty (fiscal and moral) and ruin. Israel increasingly is like the United States, its captive "friend." Its technology and wealth enable it to strike out with great violence in battle, but it is losing the war with history and demographics. Here we have a would-be ethno-religious nation state, an anachronism in and of itself, from a white, western perspective, surrounded and impregnated by an ocean of Arab peoples. Moreover, when the American population's paying for this chronologically belated and now-seemingly-weird experiment really starts to pinch, they will wake up and realize Israel is anathema to their cherished (though hypocritical) traditional values, and use that as an excuse to break the hold Israel has over them. Finally, that American population is darkening ethnically and racially and does not necessarily share the American myths that enabled America to be brought into the service of Zionism. In the meantime, Israel can enjoy its toys...we suppose.

A deceitful illusion indeed, but what is the purpose of her/their deceit? What agenda underlies the deception? I don't know. But we need to know, because we are about to give this party not only the Congress but the Presidency as well. Will things, a year after the election, look little different from what they are now? It is seeming so.

It is hard to believe that Columbia is considered still one of America's major institutions of higher learning. Or is it? It all seemed so bush (forgive me) league.

On the Columbia president's "courage" in attacking the Iranian leader during his introduction of him, that was not courage; that was the action of a bully and a coward. Forget ill mannered.

Actually the Iranian gave some good answers to the "difficult" questions posed to him, and those answers undercut the credibility of the litany of alleged offenses, e.g., holocaust denial, repeatedly leveled against him in the American news media.

Is there any chance this WWII business could just be put on the shelf? Tricked and deceived into entering the war by their president, who was pursuing his own agenda in direct opposition to 4 our of 5 Americans at the time, upon entry they proceeded to engaged in unspeakable war crimes the horrors of which are unmatched before or since, viz., the terror bombing, firebombing or Japanese and German women, children, and old men in their homes and the pointless destruction of whole cities. Their final success was the delivery of half of Europe into 5 decades of slavery under alien communist regimes. Perhaps it is a fitting irony that ever since it is trotted out with regularity to support America's subsequent military fiascos one by one. So could we just leave it alone?

and they deserve to get it good and hard!

if there were no volunteers, the war would end. Instead of discussing our "fighting men and women" with a reverence that would be due a draftee in a war of national survival (perhaps), we should be telling them to stay at home and leave people on the other side of the world alone. If these guys were Blackwater, we would call them mercenaries; because they are govenment military we, or some, would call them heros. I won't.

hell Glenn!!

tempered my liberal tendencies. Government is NOT inherently good; on the contrary.

The article could have been written by the Clintons; it was worthy of them. Look--nobody ever said Hillary could lift the ban. Obviously she was to have insisted her husband do so. During the debate Hillary almost said: "well it's not my letter." In midstride she thought better of it. Perhaps Mr. Grieve should have as well.

another holocaust movie. Can see them lining up now at Gaza's last standing movie theatre. Move on.... Please.

I agree with the other commenters--if he can believe in the

Christ myth, surely he can believe in the holocaust myth too.

Every great myth is a mixture of truth, exagerations and outright lies. The "holocaust" is no exception. The defenders of the myth should focus on the truths and stop wasting their credibilty on the exagerations and lies. The gas chamber tale may well fall in the area of discussion that needs to be quietly abandoned. With the falsehoods of the holocaust myth makers, the crimes against humanity committed by the State of Israel, and the hi-jacking of American foreign policy, a wave of anti-semitism in the near future is virtually assured.
