Poll question: Is the US support for Israel state sponsored terrorism?
We all agree Hizbollah practices terrorism...etc.

The poll has to do with whether civilians are being terrorized in Lebanon? how about the people in Gaza?

The US is the only country in the world which will not vote for a cease fire, we are the only country who keeps saying yes to more deaths, destruction, and bloodshed.

Can what's going on be considered terrorism?

4. I think so, and few of them are dead...Won't have to worry about Olmert or
Bush's plan for the region.

5. No matter what it is, appearances are everything in the diplomatic world.
Whenever this country says another country is a supporter of state-sponsored terrorism, this moment in history can be recalled as rebuttal. Whenever this country labels another a member of "The Axis of Evil", this moment in time will be used by the pot to label the kettle black.

We are no longer seen as an honest broker for the region. We have lost our moral authority on the subject. And, when Bush says "They hate us for our freedom", you can bet that's a lie, and the reason they hate us has more to do with this moment in time, than any other reason.
