excellant idea, good contribution. I don't care about Hamas, I think they're bad, but I do believe we shouldn't cut aid to the people of Palestine in general, that sends a bad message. And, in some ways, I believe we should cut funding for the Israeli government if we wish to be fair; their occupation and use of force is excessive to say the least.

I wouldn't put it that way... in fact, I don't even know where you pulled that from, other than the possibility of it coming from...oh, never mind.
You believe the majority of Iraqis support the U.S. being there still??? Come on. They did a poll TWO YEARS ago that showed Iraqis wanted us out. If you have a newer poll, I would be glad to see it.
