Turning Point? 
I feel terrible and am horrified by the children dying in Lebanon and Iraq. However, why is NBC not reporting on the fact that the "cilivians" killed are only women, children and old men? Where are the young husbands, sons? Should this not be pointed out to the viewers? This is exactly what happened and is happening in Iraq. The Why of the reason for this current unrest has been forgotten by everyone. Political correctness in this country has gone too far and appeasement has become the buzz word allowing the "bad guys" to get away with their murdering ways. It is indeed a shame that people have forgotten that there was a Hitler and there can be many more Hitlers in this world!!

The stories about the Orient Queen and the evacuations of Americans from Lebanon are important to hear and often bring tears to my eyes. They are reported well and show a human aspect of this war. I just ask you to remember that there are Americans in Israel who, despite this war, have decided to show their support for Israel by staying in the country and living their lives. Teens who are there on summer tours may call their parents more often but are still having fun and enjoying their summer. It is important to show the support that Israel is getting by having so many Americans stay. Thank you for your coverage and please keep up the good work. See you tonight, if not before.

Hold on now... It's not time.
I didn't think we were close enough to November to see the flowers grow from the seeds of political P.A.C. money yet. Besides, you cannot outright lie until September. I think that is a presidential rule.(Not for him of course)

It seems so much of our world's stife stems from radical Islamics. Not all the problems, but still a lot of them. It would be wonderful if reasonable diplomacy could win, but I really do not put a lot of faith in that. It doesn't seem that "reason" matters much, only "might" and "hatred."
