Anyone else find it odd that the Iranian PM doesn't believe the Holocaust ever happened and then has the gall to say Israel is acting like Hitler right now? Still forming my own opinion on Israel's actions. I can see why they just did what they did (they needed to do something to stop Hizbollah from killing more of their people), may not have been the best way to do it (is war ever the answer?) but dude I can see why they did it. But does Ahmandinejad even understand what he's saying most of the time?
Playing house
I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

On Saturday I was standing in front of the American Jewish History Museum in Philly. the tour guide there was explaining to us the story of why there's a monument dedicated to Netanyahu's brother who was killed on July 4, 1976 during a raid against islamic terrorist who captured Israelis. It hit home again how Israel feels they have to go for broke when one of their own has been captured. Anyway, I don't really know how i feel about both sides except for the fact that the more I study about the mid-east, the less I feel I can make a decision about where I stand. :)
To Nicolaepdigone...you're saying the PM isn't crazy, he's just saying what he says to appease the masses? I'm not sure what it's like over there, maybe everyone is crazy, but Ahmadinejad says some pretty interesting things. I don't know how even his own people can take him seriously.
The whole mideast is such a mess. There will never be peace as long as Israel exists, simple. I'm not really at a point to say it shouldn't, but as you all have pointed out, there are way too many layers, years, and cultural differences to understand as an outsider. Seriously, what would the middle east complain about if Israel WAS gone? That oil isn't HIGH enough?!?!?
