The Nuclear War Presidents

Unfortunately Bush already has them, otherwise the world would be placing sanctions on him.

Anderson has green hair now. Seriously. It's green. I guess it reflects the amount of expertise in journalism he has.

I can understand the confusion by the Iranian President about the Holocaust and why the Jewish people aren't in Germany. He can't or won't see the Justice in Jewish people having a homeland in the Middle East when they were from Europe. He doesn't connect the 'history' of the Hebrews in territories of the Middle East. He also wants the world to realize the injustice of 'the times' when Israel was carved out of those territories. The injustice that is of Palestine. Palestine was a nation of nomads. But, today they are a nation of people. They are being treated seriously today as the Jewish were after the Holocaust. There really is no sincere reason for his anger about Palestine. Nor the Jews.


He has much empathy for the Palestinians but none for Israel to realize they have suffered greatly as well, just less in modern times. He truncates the past, the history, the heritage of the Hebrews in order to justify hatred. That is unfortunate. It reveals perhaps a racial bigotry or perhaps even more a man that is unaware of the profound need to respect history and it's importance in the present. The Hebrews are home. Israel is correct to be where it is. The reality that Palestine is a nation of focal areas of Israel is to realize the past of very ancient times when Rome first caused such atrocities that drove native peoples from the region to seek safety. He stated there are Jews in Palestine as well. That should also bring a clear reality to the roots of the region and why it is correct for the Palestinians and Jews to live together as they did millenium ago. It is odd that today they are still at war with each other when their shared enemy, the Romans, have long since died away.

The Iranian President didn't think much of you, Anderson.


Where is the coverage about the Western USA fires?

Well, Andy's hair was green. It was in the interview.
