Israel's response to terrorists is correct. Hamas and Hizballah kidnapped three Israeli soldiers and are holding them until Israel releases its suspected terrorist prisoners. Meanwhile, gutless European nations stand by and accuse Israel of overreacting. If members of your immediate family had been kidnapped and you knew who did it, would you forsake them by standing idly by? Instead of painting Israel as the aggressor, Europeans should be cheering it on in its fight for peace...
...There's a whole lot of cause-related marketing out there, which I'm not a big fan of.

Bush vetoed the bill that would have expanded funding for human embryonic-stem-cell (ESC) research, doctors got calls from patients with Parkinson's disease saying they weren't sure they could hang on for another year or two. The doctors could only reply that in the best-case scenario, cures are at least a decade away, that hope is no substitute for evidence, that stem-cell science is still in its infancy...
...while four 155mm artillery shells exploded inside the position, causing extensive damage. "We contacted the Israelis every time after one of the bombs fell. We were begging them to stop because it was going to end up in a tragedy. They said they would look into the matter and correct the situation," the UNIFIL officer recalled. Israel, while saying that the accident is under investigation, has not confirmed that it got the warnings...
