&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Today I feel I should dedicate a little bit of time to the fuckers who put those ugly yellow "Support Our Troops" bumper stickers on their car.&amp;nbsp; Now most of you know me, i'm as far from a pinko Anti-American Protestor as they come, however these bumper stickers still bug the shit out of me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It has to do with the fact that i'm being told what to do by somebody I don't even know.&amp;nbsp; Not only that, but i'm being told to do something that I should already be doing.&amp;nbsp; Everyone in this country should be "supporting" your troops, and if you're not then you're a stupid hippy who who should move to North Korea, or some other Communist paradise where you'll be much more welcome.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was thinking about what kind of message these bumper stickers are suppose to send.&amp;nbsp; The first thing that came to mind is that this is their way of expressing their support for our Soldiers.&amp;nbsp; But if this is the case, why do their stickers not say "&lt;STRONG&gt;I&lt;/STRONG&gt; support Our Troops".&amp;nbsp; No, it says "Support Our Troops" as in "&lt;STRONG&gt;YOU&lt;/STRONG&gt; Support Our Troops"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As i've said before I support our troops and their goal in Iraq, but even so, i'm not going to drive around my neighborhood finding pedestrians so that I can roll down my window and point at them while shouting, "YOU! Over there! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!"&amp;nbsp; Which is effectivley what these obnoxious bumper stickers do.&amp;nbsp; They don't make you cool, they don't convince me that you actually support our troops, all they do is tell me that you're an asshole who likes to feel superior to everyone else by telling them what to do.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some other notes on Bumper stickers.&amp;nbsp; If you have a bumper sticker saying "God Bless America", you are not cool.&amp;nbsp; Take it off right now.&amp;nbsp; If you have a bumper sticker with the American Flag on it, in addition to any sort of text, you are not cool.&amp;nbsp; Take it off right now.&amp;nbsp; The only sort of "pro-american" sticker that looks cool is the American flag, AND ONLY the American flag.&amp;nbsp; Don't try to be extra special by getting a sticker with some sort of phrase, joke, order, or threat on it.&amp;nbsp; It looks tacky and the text is probably some sort of really really gay message about(Such as "God Bless America).&amp;nbsp; It's hard enough being "pro-american" and actually being fashionable with it and you don't help the cause by using slogans that your grandparents probably did when they were your age.&amp;nbsp; A simple American flag is all you need to show solidarity with the rest of the country.&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/512006849/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Wednesday, April 12, 2006</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/471199641/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/471199641/item.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2006 07:22:54 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;My California friends.&amp;nbsp; Sleep well tonight, our hard working State Politicians are making sure to resolve all the hard issues facing our state.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Worried that your elementary school child isn't learning enough about Promininet gay/bisexual/queer/transgender/questioning&amp;nbsp;California figures throughout history?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The state legislators want to fix that!&amp;nbsp; Now our kids can learn about San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk who was killed in 1978!(I assume because he was gay, but the article doesn't explain)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12210336/" target="_new"&gt;http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12210336/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obviosly a VERY important chapter in our states history.&amp;nbsp; Right up there with the Spanish' system of Catholic Missions, or the 1948 California Gold Rush.&amp;nbsp; Its so important that we MUST spend class time discussing it, even though that time could be spent on... you know... learning real history....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm glad that our government is ensuring that all the important parts of our states history get taught to our children!&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/471199641/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Wednesday, April 12, 2006</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/471077159/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/471077159/item.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:05:43 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;HAHAHAHAHA.&amp;nbsp; This flyer is so awesome:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;It's good to see the Democratic Party openly trying to court the votes of people &lt;STRONG&gt;who don't belong here&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I love it.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12112802/site/newsweek" target="_new"&gt;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12112802/site/newsweek&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"One lady was crying," says one of the theater's managers, Kevin Adjodha. "She was saying we shouldn't have [played the trailer]. That this was wrong ... I don't think people are ready for this."&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't get why people would rather run away from one of the most important events in the past decade then confront it.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I don't expect a Hollywood movie to make a 9/11 film with any sort of real punch.&amp;nbsp; It will be neutered so as to not offend anyone, especially muslims and other Arabs.&amp;nbsp; But i'm interested at least, to see how it turns out.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I want a movie thats powerful enough to be emotional, one that's even going to hurt.&amp;nbsp; We need to be reminded of what happened that day, because people are getting complacent.&amp;nbsp; We're not really all that much "safer" then we were then.&amp;nbsp; That's not the fault of any particular political party, but the work of the government as a whole.&amp;nbsp; And more and more the people are not putting the pressure on our government to do anything about it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hopefully films like this will remind them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/03/27/060327202800.c290z4uh.html" target=_new&gt;http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/03/27/060327202800.c290z4uh.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;5% of students in the LA school district walked out of class today to protest the "draconian"(article's phrase, HAHA) new immigration enforcement bill.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, just how "draconian" is this bill?&amp;nbsp; You'd think that it means we're creating a new Immigration Gestapo that will track down all illegal immigrants and brutally send them back to mexico, but according to the same article:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The protests target a bill, already passed by the US House of Representatives, that would crack down on employers hiring illegal workers and people smuggling illegal immigrants into the country. &lt;/EM&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The bill would also require employers to verify social security numbers with the Department of Homeland Security, beef up penalties for immigrant smuggling and stiffen penalties for undocumented immigrants who reenter the United States after having been removed.&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oh, so by "draconian" what you really mean is... intelligent?&amp;nbsp; Cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants?&amp;nbsp; Cracking down on smugglers?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;God that's SOOOOO AWFUL.&amp;nbsp; The article doesn't mention, but included in the Bill are plans to increase the border fence as well.&amp;nbsp; How monsterous!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"If we don't leave school today, half of the school who don't have papers will have to leave soon if this law passes, and they won't come back, ever," shouted Huntington Park High School student Anita Benitez.&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;.....&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;.................&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Uhhh.... sorry?&amp;nbsp; I don't recall that our country is required to give hand outs to all the poor people of the world.&amp;nbsp; Why should we spend time educating children that are not even American citizens?&amp;nbsp; Their presence within the school takes away from people that actually deserve to be there.&amp;nbsp; If in fact, 50% of the student body had to leave, then that means that the other half, the ones that are there legally can now get the education they rightfully deserve as legal citizens of the United States.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Student protestors today also walked out on two LA Freeways forcing the California Highway Patrol to shut them down.&amp;nbsp; Because I guess the best way to get people to sympathize with you is by getting them stuck in traffic and forcing them to be 1 hour late to their destination!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;--Edit--&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Today the Senate removed aspects of the House bill that would make it a felony to provide &lt;EM&gt;non-emergency&lt;/EM&gt; assistance to illegal immigrants.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060327/D8GK56HO0.html" target="_new"&gt;http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060327/D8GK56HO0.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't have any complaints there,&amp;nbsp; thought that was a pretty stupid part of the bill anyways.&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/464066667/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, March 26, 2006</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/463361487/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/Stewie930/463361487/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2006 11:35:16 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;So, the big thing currently seems to be Immigration.&amp;nbsp; There is a bill in the Senate that would make being an illegal immigrant a crime&lt;STRONG&gt;(...take a few moments here to reflect on what I just told you&lt;/STRONG&gt;), it would also make it a crime to provide assistance to Illegal immigrants.&amp;nbsp; In addition to beefing up our actual laws, it would also pave the way for an extension of&amp;nbsp; our wall along the US-Mexico border.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In response a whole bunch of people have chosen to go to the streets and protest this "racist" bill.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG height=345 alt=Photo src="http://us.news3.yimg.com/us.i2.yimg.com/p/ap/20060324/capt.ohjy10103242358.immigration_rally_ohjy101.jpg?x=254&amp;amp;y=345&amp;amp;sig=as5tzY3Sd8BEzflDGyZr9Q--" width=254 border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;SHE HAS A BABY FOR CHRISTS SAKE!&amp;nbsp; HOW COULD YOU SEND HER BACK TO MEXICO?!?!?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;YOU MONSTERS&lt;/STRONG&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Because when you're fighting on the wrong side of an issue, it's just so much easier to fight with emotional appeal then you know... actual logic...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This high school geography teacher goes on for 20 minutes!!!!! about how the US is THE SATAN of the world.&amp;nbsp; It's fucking hillarious.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You could get the actual recording here: &lt;A href="http://www.850koa.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=news_worthy.xml" target="_new"&gt;http://www.850koa.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=news_worthy.xml&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But Michelle Malkin created a transcript, this is what he said.&amp;nbsp; It is one of the best Moronic Liberal Rants I have ever heard in my life.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Keep in mind, that this is in the middle of a class on Georgraphy to high school students.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.&amp;nbsp; This guy is going to so get fired.&amp;nbsp; And i'm going to laugh at his stupid Propagandistic Ass for it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Bennish: [tape begins with class already underway. Bennish completing an unintelligble statement about Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.] Why do we have troops in Colombia fighting in their civil war for over 30 years. Most Americans don't even know this. For over 30 years, America has had soldiers fighting in Colombia in a civil war. Why are we fumigating coca crops in Bolivia and Peru if we're not trying to control other parts of the world. Who buys cocaine? Not Bolivians. Not Peruvians. Americans! Ok. Why are we destroying the farmers' lives when we're the ones that consume that good. 
&lt;P&gt;Can you imagine? What is the world's number one single cause of death by a drug? What drug is responsible for the most deaths in the world? Cigarettes! Who is the world's largest producer of cigarettes and tobacco? The United States!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What part of our country grows all our tobacco? Anyone know what states in particular? Mostly what's called North Carolina. Alright. That's where all the cigarette capitals are. That's where a lot of them are located from. Now if we have the right to fly to Bolivia or Peru and drop chemical weapons on top of farmers' fields because we're afraid they might be growing coca and that could be turned into cocaine and sold to us, well then don't the Peruvians and the Iranians and the Chinese have the right to invade America and drop chemical weapons over North Carolina to destroy the tobacco plants that are killing millions and millions of people in their countries every year and causing them billions of dollars in health care costs?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Make sure you get these definitions down.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Capitalism: If you don't understand the economic system of capitalism, you don't understand the world in which we live. Ok. Economic system in which all or most of the means of production, etc., are owned privately and operated in a somewhat competitive environment for the purpose of producing PROFIT! Of course, you can shorten these definitions down. Make sure you get the gist of it. Do you see how when, you know, when you're looking at this definition, where does it say anything about capitalism is an economic system that will provide everyone in the world with the basic needs that they need? Is that a part of this system? Do you see how this economic system is at odds with humanity? At odds with caring and compassion? It's at odds with human rights.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anytime you have a system that is designed to procure profit, when profit is the bottom motive -- money -- that means money is going to become more important potentially than what? Safety, human lives, etc.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why did we invade Iraq?! How do we know that the invasion of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction-- even if weapons had been found, how would you have known, how could you prove--that that was not a real reason for us to go there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are dozens upon dozens of countries that have weapons of mass destruction. Iraq is one of dozens. There are plenty of countries that are controlled by dictators, where people have no freedom, where they have weapons of mass destruction and they could be potentially threatening to America. We're not invading any of those countries!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0345.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;[Pause.]&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'll give you guys another minute or two to get some of these [definitions] down. I agree with Joey. Try to condense these a little bit. I took these straight out of the dictionary.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyone in here watch any of Mr. Bush's [State of the Union] speech last night? I'm gonna talk a little about some of things he had to say.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0452&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;...One of things that I'll bring up now, since some of you are still writing, is, you know, Condoleezza Rice said this the other day and George Bush reiterated it last night. And the implication was that the solution to the violence in the Middle East is democratization. And the implication through his language was that democracies don't go to war. Democracies aren't violent. Democracies won't want weapons of mass destruction. This is called blind, naive faith in democracy! &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0530.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Who is probably the single most violent nation on planet Earth?!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unidentified brainwashed student interjects: We are.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The United States of America! And we're a democracy. Quote-unquote.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Who has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world? The United States. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Who's continuing to develop new weapons of mass destruction as we speak?!&lt;BR&gt;The United States.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, why does Mr. Bush think that other countries that are democracies won't wanna be like us? Why does he think they'll just wanna be at peace with each other?! What makes him think that when the Palestinians get their own state that they won't wanna preemptively invade Israel to eliminate a potential threat to their security just like we supposedly did in Iraq?! Do you see the dangerous precedent that we have set by illegally invading another country and violating their sovereignty in the name of protecting us against a potential future--sorry--attack? [Unintelligible.]&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0625.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why doesn't Mexico invade Guatemala? Maybe they're scared of being attacked. Ok. Why doesn't North Korea invade South Korea?! They might be afraid of being attacked. Or maybe Iran and North Korea and Saudi Arabia and what else did he add to the list last night - and Zimbabwe - maybe they're all gonna team up and try and invade us because they're afraid we might invade them. I mean, where does this cycle of violence end? You know?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This whole "do as I say, not as I do" thing. That doesn't work. What was so important about President Bush's speech last night--and it doesn't matter if it was President Clinton still it would just as important) is that it's not just a speech to America. But who? The whole world! It's very obvious that if you listen to his language, if you listen to his body language, and if you paid attention to what he was saying, he wasn't always just talking to us. He was talking to the whole planet. Addressing the whole planet!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;He started off his speech talking about how America should be the country that dominates the world. That we have been blessed essentially by God to have the most civilized, most advanced, best system and that it is our duty as Americans to use the military to go out into the world and make the whole world like us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0759.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sounds a lot like the things that Adolf Hitler use to say.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We're the only ones who are right. Everyone else is backwards. And it's our job to conquer the world and make sure they live just like we want them to.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now, I'm not saying that Bush and Hitler are exactly the same. Obviously, they are not. Ok. But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they use. Very, very "ethnocentric." We're right. You're all wrong.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I just keep waiting. You know, at some point I think America and Mexico might go to war again. You know. Anytime Mexico plays the USA in a soccer match. What can be heard chanting all game long? &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0841&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do all Mexicans dislike the United States? No. Do all Americans dislike Mexico? No. But there's a lot of resentment--not just in Mexico, but across the whole world--towards America right now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We told--Condoleezza Rice said--that now that Hamas got elected to lead the Palestianians that they have to renounce their desire to eliminate Israel. And then Condoleezza Rice also went on to say that you can't be for peace and support armed struggle at the same time. You can't do that. Either you're for peace or war. But you can't be for both.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What is the problem with her saying this? That's the same thing we say. That is exactly the same thing this current administration says. We're gonna make the world safe by invading and killing and making war. So, if we can be for peace and for war, well, why can't the Palestinians be for peace and for war?!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;0950.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*Student Sean Allen, who is taping Bennish's rant, speaks up:*&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: Isn't there a difference of, of, having Hamas being like, we wanna attack Israelis because they're Israelis, and having us say we want to attack people who are known terrorists? Isn't there a difference between saying we're going to attack innocents and we're going to attack people who are not innocent?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1007&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Bennish: I think that's a good point. But you have to remember who's doing the defining of a terrorist. And what is a terrorist?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: Well, when people attack us on our own soil and are actually attempting to take American lives and want to take American lives, whereas, Israelies in this situation, aren't saying we want to blow up Palestine...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Bennish: How did Israel and the modern Israeli state even come into existence in the first place?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: We gave it to them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Bennish: Sort of. Why? After the Israel-Zionist movement conducted what? Terrorist acts. They assassinated the British prime minster in Palestine. They blew up buildings. They stole military equipment. Assassinated hundreds of people. Car bombings, you name it. That's how the modern state of Israel was made. Was through violence and terrorism. Eventually we did allow them to have the land. Why? Not because we really care, but because we wanted a strategic ally. We saw a way to us to get a hook into the Middle East.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If we create a modern nation of Israel, then, and we make them dependent on us for military aid and financial aid, then we can control a part of the Middle East. We will have a country in the Middle East that will be indebted to us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: But is it ok to say it's just to attack Israel? If it's ok to attack known terrorists, it's ok to attack Israel?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Bennish: If you were Palestinians, who are the real terrorists? The Israelis, who fire missiles that they purchased from the United States government into Palestinian neighborhoods and refugees and maybe kill a terrorist, but also kill innocent women and children. And when you shoot a missile into Pakistan to quote-unquote kill a known terrorist, and we just killed 75 people that have nothing to do with al Qaeda, as far as they're concerned, we're the terrorists. We've attacked them on their soil with the intention of killing their innocent people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: But we did not have the intention of killing innocent people. We had the intention of killing an al Qaeda terrorist.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Bennish: Do you know that?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Allen: So, you're saying the United States has the intention to kill innocent people?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
