Subj : Re: OT Military To : All From : Cherokee Date : Mon Jan 13 2003 01:41 pm I'm not suggesting that Israel has no right to defend itself from suicide bombers and the like. But Israel continues to allow settlements in territory that it occupied in 1967. Nearly everyone agrees that the only solution to the problem is a Palestinian state, but Israel is allowing it's citizens to dig in on the land which a Palestinian state must occupy. Concerning Middle East dictators and the Saudis, I agree completely. I also agree abortion is wrong and should be against the law. A fetal heartbeat can be detected by about 4 weeks gestation, and 100% of all surgical abortions take place after this point. However, a very high percentage of women using "abortion pills" do so between 2-4 weeks (0-2 weeks after they have missed their period), so you'd really have to define life as the point of conception to stop all of those. I think life begins at conception, but I'm not the guy who gets to define what life is. --- col sanders wrote: > > I completely disagree with you on Israel, if anything, we have been > holding them back and stopping them from defeating those that want to > > destroy them, we ought to let them go and do what they need to do, > even > if its an ugly war.
