Can somebody please tell Israel not to start WWIII. According to the Jerusalem Post, Israel is ready to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. They have plans to do it with or without the approval or assistance of the United States. I'm sure this is going to work out well for Americans. Will we have to sacrifice our sons for this horrendous mistake, even though we didn't sign off?
Hardline Israeli settlers walk into the Palestinian city of Hebron and move just into one of their homes. The Palestinians sue and the courts tell the settlers to leave. Israeli troops force them to leave. Now they have a battle on their hands.
The banks still aren't lending money as they were supposed to under the bailout. Henry Paulson now says we cannot force banks to loan money to people. I would agree with that.
