if the palestinians declare statehood right now it wouldnt work becouse of what you mentioned
you'd have two states palestine and hamasstan the problem is that it wouldnt solve any of the conflicts that it has with israel either right now, with the exception of the gaza strip, every area of the "occupied territories" is covered with israeli settelemts which makes it hard to deterimine which part belongs to who (in terms of borders) and that's not even touching on the more critical issues of jerusalem or the refugees and displaced persons trying to agree to a two state solution is a fine idea IN THEORY but its not practical yet and doing it one side would be even LESS practical and the conflict between the hamas and fatah would probably detremine how many more years would have to pass befroe the idea of a free palesitinan state is even possible after all, without signing a peace accord with israel, they cant form a state without giving up on all the things they have been trying to get by negotiations (jerusalem, refugees, etc) by default and since hamas doesnt recognize israel's right to exist, they arent likely to support any peace accords any time soon which means that if hamas wins, peace in the middle east is out of the picture

Aso, Medvedev agree on need for new U.N. resolution on N. Korea
I see where this direction is heading.. Perhaps, this is a pre-coordinated move? Nah...I see it as a mere coincidence that gives birth to opportunities in which puts Japan in a disadvantageous position. So, in order to reach an agreement on the new UN resolution, Japan will have to pay the price of getting two veto-wielders to voice their support and take actual actions. Unfortunately, for the cost of 5 islands, I think the SDF is better off fighting North Korea alone. Even if it means to obtain an effective UNSC resolution with the support of all 5 veto-wielders, changing stance on the Northern Territories and the Senkaku is definitely a big no! This also implies that no feasible resolutions will be obtained by the time North Korea test-fires their next long-range ballistic missile in the next couple of days. In fact, there may not be a solution by the time North Korea prepares to test-fire something else after successfully launching their long-range ballistic missile. *sigh* Last edited by Shadow Kira01; 2009-05-30 at 10:32.

Exactly who are you referring to? The doctor that was an usher in a Lutheran church on sunday mornings and a baby killer the rest of the week? Or the guy that killed the doctor? Keep in mind we know almost nothing about the doctors killer at this point other than he is a 51 year old male. Any Christian that commits murder does so in violation of not only our laws set forth by our government but also in violation of Christs teachings. |

I think its revolting how people will do such things, abortion is a choice, and the doctor did not force people to have abortions, in the bottom line it's the mother's choice. True we don't know who the man is yet, but I find it highly unlikely a non-religious man would do such a thing.

We live in a secular framework of the rule-of-law in the US... legally the doctor was not committing any crime (though he was under some questionable investigations for some questionable procedures). Murdering the doctor was vigilantism, unjustified, and illegal by any count since he was not committing a legal crime.
Theocracies are down the street and to the right if those game rules aren't acceptable.

It's pretty messed up that he got shot, but late term abortions are pretty messed up as well (and he did a LOT of them) so I can't say I have a whole lot of sympathy towards the guy. Well there's still 2 doctors left in the US that are willing to do late term abortions (for now at least).

I wouldn't think so, I was just trying to shed some light on the guy and his questionable character. I'm pretty much on the fence on the whole abortion issue, but IMO late term abortions cross the line unless it's to save the mother.
