7. I get sick of them saying it is the only dem. country in the Middle East.
Some of these other countries vote for their leaders and Israel is not all that great. Some people are not as equal as others. What is that about? I also hear just about daily what Bush has done for Iraq and Afghanistan as if they are free but he keeps saying they are. What about that little country we went to war for in the First Iraq war? You mean we went to war for a country that is not a free country.
