have signed the ceasefire petition. At this rate, we could soon be the

The pressure is working. The global outcry over this crisis has pushed the Ambassadors to the UN Security Council to work around the clock to achieve an immediate ceasefire.

the best thing you can do for your jewish friends is to be as honest as possible.
I'm always honest Lester. That's what gets me in trouble.
I believe it was at Juan Cole's site this morning I read that the people of Israel are not happy with this war and the approval of Olmert is almost as low as bush's approval here in the US
