Down in the City (New York City), You have Palestinians protesting in front of the Israeli embassy. Across the street you have Israelis protesting the Palestinians protesting Israelis in front of the Israeli embassy, And nobody shooting at eachother. (yet)

i'm sure it won't be long before someone, somewhere will be protesting the u.s. for not intervening in the gaza dispute. then someone will be protesting because we did intervene in the gaza dispute.

What's even greater, bubb, is that we just take it for granted.

Protestors are outside of the Obama's holiday house. They want him to change the U.S.'s stance on Israeli support.

here's my WAG prediction:

This is just the first stage...remove the retaliatory capability of Iran.
Phase 2 will be to launch an attack on Iran's nukes. Soon. They are not going to wait for Obama to 'talk' to the Iranians. Get it over now. Kill or be killed.

America IS a GREAT COUNTRY.
We'll get by the challenges of this decade as we always have.
NYPD will see to it that the protesters behave, more or less. (been there)

Well, I guess Canada's great, too, by that measure. Oh, and about every other country, too. What a wonderful world.

I was not trying to be sarcastic when I wrote my first post. I was trying to have a little fun with it. I am proud of the USA that we can have waring factions protesting peacefully here.
