First President with a vowel at the end of his name.
Have not seen any posts on this. Then again, have not looked.
Can Jews build temples next to banks? Can Catholics build a church next to playgrounds?
Then let Muslims build their YMCA in the old Burlington Coat Factory.
Noam Chomsky: The Real Reasons the U.S. Enables Israeli Crimes and Atrocities
So, sure, if Israel continues to settle in the occupied territories -- illegally, incidentally, as Israel recognized in 1967 (it's all illegal; they recognized it) -- it's undermining the possibilities for the viable existence of any small Palestinian entity. And as long as the United States and Israel continue with that, yes, there will be insecurity.

I'm a product of law school and a product of the legal mind. This legal training and experience seems to harden everyone's hearts. After time, it seems so much easier to simply tune them out and just be 'strict' and say 'who cares,' we need law and order and so or so should have known.
If only a Judge can step into the eyes of a family member or a defendant waiting for his sentence... then she will know how much every day of an extra sentence can truly mean or feel.
The law is never fairly applied. Those whom are picked up for a crime are merely the unlucky ones picked off to be made examples of. The entire criminal process, from arrest (FBI raiding the family's home) to the torturous process of waiting on the unknown, dealing with public stigma, dealing with constant prying and invasion of privacy... is punishment enough.
The one that made a mistake -- and his/or her family is no less human than everyone else. Like everyone else, they are only trying to survive.
