AP’s Robert Burns playing Politics by replacing "Settlement Freeze" with "Curb...
"While AP reporters, international law, and the unanimity of world opinion agree to call Israeli building activity in the territories settlements, the Associated Press reporter, Robert Burns, insists on his own terminology. Ironically, his insistence is not only restricted to what terms the gives to settlements, but he has the audacity and the lack of professionalism to put his language in the mouths of Palestinians."

"Even if the Congress and the American people were to blame for the loss of the Vietnam War, as Kissinger contends, politicians should take into account that democracies will not allow an indefinite waste of lives and money to win a war that has little to do with national security.

Summing Up
"We don't know whether Tzipi Livni is ready to implement such a plan, or what she thinks about this testament.

"Today, with a new Arab world in sight, this utopian vision is suddenly looking more realistic.

A Law Enforcement Alternative to War in Syria
"The United States is the only nation whose citizens have the freedom and institutions to control its military and which has the power to remove dangerous foreign dictators without causing the deaths of their innocent victims and the destruction of their means of existence....Americans have an obligation to humanity to demonstrate our compassion, strength and imagination, and we have a duty to our children to avoid wasting their lives and futures in senseless wars when we can better accomplish our political aims by other means."
