It sure looks like a civil war (or coup) is about to happen over there. INSANE. If Hamas takes over by force, what does that mean for Israel. Or the US for that matter? Between, Nukes in Iran, Continued Killings in Darfur, Unstable Democracy in Iraq (I'm being kind), Fighting in Afghanistan and now this further spiralling downward insanity in Palestine, the world looks pretty bleak right now.   mrmaplewood Citizen Username: Mrmaplewood Post Number: 346 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, May 19, 2006 - 4:34 pm:        Wait! Are you forgetting North Korea,Russia meddling around the in the world, shakey Pakistan, trouble in the former USSR countries, Argentina, Bolivia, and (fences make good neighbors, right?), Mexico? We need to start another war to take everyone's mind off their present troubles. That will help Bush expand his deficit spending so the economy will grow sooooo much faster.   Alleygater Citizen Username: Alleygater Post Number: 2064 Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Friday, May 19, 2006 - 4:56 pm:        Yes, I forgot about those. For some reason Palestine seems REALLY big to me right now.
