well said.

*kat. <-- thinks online petitions are worthless. >>



And this petition is as worthless as it gets. A Nobel peace prize has never been revoked, has never been considered for revocation, and never will be.
 
jjsole: Do you REALLY want to base your argument on the sources you cite?
I have to go to work soon so I will have to come back to this later and add some more details.
Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone are so far out on the lunatic fringe that no REAL newspaper will hire them. They can?t even write for the Enquirer!
Do you also know what else they say?
·Learn how the National Security Agency ran accused hijacker Mohammed Atta and his associates out of South Florida and trained them at U.S. military installations.
·Find out how the anthrax planted across the United States has been identified as a weaponized military strain produced exclusively in U.S. government and military laboratories.
·See how the pieces of the puzzle fit to form a picture of arbitrary rule in the United States designed to whip the American people into fear-driven submission to virtual martial law.
"Taking Aim" will aid and prepare a fight back against the powerful few who have hijacked our country to advance their profits and to render their power immune to challenge.
Don't take my word for it. Check out their own website!

Loren Jenkinsis almost as far out there as well. Loren Jenkins, is now the senior foreign editor for National Public Radio, recently bragged to a Chicago Tribune columnist, ?I don?t represent the government. I represent history, information, what happened.? OK fine.
Unfortunately he was referring to the U.S. military presence in Pakistan. Loren Jenkins said he would put a team of reporters into South Asia with instructions to "smoke out" any American troops and reveal their location. He defended putting U.S. soldiers in harm's way because "I don't represent the government. I represent history..." Jenkins has expressed hostile attitudes toward Israel, terming it a colonizer in Jerusalem. He has also, in his own writing, linked Israelis to Nazis. Significantly, Jenkins has regularly appeared at events sponsored by the stridently anti-Israel American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).


EDIT:
Holy Smoke! I made Golden when I was not looking!

hahaha..yeah. This thread is funny. Like an online petition is going to affect an international affair.

Why doesn't each side setup a petition and they can fight the war online, too!

Yup. Sure sneaks up on you, doesn't it? 😉

I was at 9997 before someone pointed out that I was almost a lifer :Q


<< Why doesn't each side setup a petition and they can fight the war online, too! >>


Heh heh. Only if they did it using CS.

I wonder which team each group would pick 😛
 
good, the people that gave him the prize were plain idiots.

you don't find 300 sniper rifles in a raid on "defenseless innocent people" the stupid media seems to keep blabbing about. suicide bombing = war crime. end of story.
 
Arafat doesn't want to give up the NPP for nothing. But he might jump at the offer to trade it for an exploding belt.
 
This is not the olympic Ice Scating, you can b!tch and whine all you want, but they are not going to revoke the prize just to please the US public. They don't give a cr@p. Actually, they were discussing taking it away from Shimon Perez, I think. Not sure why.

Also, I know I am going to get flamed for this, but Bush's incompetent handling of this middle east situation puts at jeopardy our success in the war against islamic terrorism. It seems like every radical in that land is using this situation as a rallying cry against the US, and it's resonating with the populace over there. The total lack of vision or leadership for that region is just astounding. I really feel sorry for Colin Powell. Bush sends this man out with basically no message to deliver, nothing to offer, no pressure to bear on anyone. The arabs pretty much ignore him and ask why he is not in Jerusalem. Then Israelis pretty much ignore him too. It seems like the arabs discount us as always siding with Israel, and Israelis are taking our support for granted.

I think you have the wrong interpretation of events there. "Incompetent"? What do you suggest the President do instead? The US has several (some conflicting) interests there and serves as broker for the two parties. Whose "lack of vision or leadership" do you refer to? Surely if there were a magic formula it would've been applied last century. C.Powell's visit was fine; he served as a political lightning rod. The military action was going to occur regardless of who was sent. The US knows the Isrealis were (justifiably) going to get their pound of flesh for that Palestinian Passover Massacre. Was anyone else going to stop them? The Arabs? No, not likely because the Arab nations got sand kick in their collective faces the last several times they fought Isreal.

The Arab nations' greatest fear is not the Isrealis but their own Arab populace who may topple them. It would be ironic if the Palestinian / Isreali conflict (the Arab leaders aid the Palestinians, their proxy) that the Arab leaders allow to fester to distract their own citizenry may become so one-sided, that it causes their own demise.

Contrary to what any European leader or member of the Nobel Committee says, it is Arafat and the Palestinians who have lost the moral ground by their use of suicide bombers. If the Palestinians continue to rationalize the targeting and murdering of civilians (who are in no way obtensibly military targets) they invite a corresponding Isreali reply and their own destruction in open warfare.
