I am a disabled combat veteran from the Vietnam war. I want to see the government change the way veterans are treated.

Daniel commented on the article |I am not against immigration but illegal immigration. I have relatives who have taken ten years to get permission to live. I agree the immigration laws need to be changed. But when you break a law you must be willing to pay the consequence. Your husband can live here as long as you are legally married so what is the problem?

Daniel commented on the article |This whole idea of social entreprenuership sound like lobbying in a different package. I object to any group for or not for profit having any more access to the government than afforded the individual by the Constitution. The government can not nor should not try to solve our social problems.

Daniel commented on the article |The reason that the majority nations in the UN votes against Israel is wrong. From the start I reject the idea that the land belongs to Israel because of ancient history. In 71AD Titus destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews throughout the Empire. Since then the land has changed hands a dozen times. In 1920 it was ruled by the British Empire. The land was occupied by Palestinians, a nomadic tribe who had no claim to the land. The British allowed the Zionest to settle there based on a promise that neither they nor the Palestinians would start an independent state. When the Zionist declared independence from Britian along with most of the region sided with Great Britian. When Israelis won they drove the Palestinians from the land.
The solution is simple Israel must leave the areas occupyed since 1967. They must remove settlements from the West Bank. Unless they do the right thing there will be no peace. We must comdemn Israel's occpation of these lands. If we continue to back their oppression then they will always oppress the Palestinian people. -

Halper by focusing on house demolitions, is missing the forest from the trees, we need all to focus on the big picture and the root cause of the problem. Until we realize what the problem is we cannot find a solution.
This is the only true statement that Mr Ross made in his tirade against entire Middle East. Egypt,Jordan and Saudi Arabia all reconize Israels right to exist. It is not up to us to change or alter the government of any country.To think so is ignorant and arrogant. The debacle in Iraq proves that.
It only thing we have that will work and not worsen the problem is influence. But the support Israel at the expense region reduces our influence. Israel is not the entire cause of the problem our unbridled support of their crimes against the Palestinians contributes greatly.WE must also accept the results of our actions. Our refusal to accept the duly elected government of fuels the fires of injustice. It is undemocratic and hypocritical.
I am not saying that the Palestinians are themselves without blame. Hamas must stop it's attacks on Israel and recognize their right to exist. Syria and Iran should stop their military support of the militants within Palistine.
There is a process already approved by the most of the nations in the region that includes reconizining Israels right to exist.Israel must in turn return to Syria the Golen Heights, remove settlements from the West Bank and reconize the duly elected government of -

Brian, Your don't confuse me with facts my mind is made up attitude is what I find irrational. I engaged on an excellent conversation here with a man I have gained respect for ever though we share somewhat different positions. He forced me to clarify my position and even though we disagree on some major parts of this conversation I benefited from the exchange. We ended agreeing to disagree. I would think you might find an island 90 miles south of Miami that suits you way of thinking better.
