Time to retire Helen

Good points, but obviously it hasn't worked out so well. Can anyone cited a similar situation where on occupying "nation" was given a country with the blessings of the international community (i.e. the UN)?

Kosovo would be a pretty good example. Equally disputed by the original state owner of the land, Serbia.

I read a statement by an Israeli that went like this " I did not care where Israel was established, Britain, New York or New Zealand would have been just the same. Regardless of where Israel is I would fight to the death to protect it. After what happened in the holocaust morality seems a joke and something for others to worry about."
I am sure the Indians view allowing the Spanish and the French to come ashore was a serious foreign policy blunder. But the past is the past and what is done is done. As Wrobert says: " It is what it is."

"It is what it is" is not a valid statement to the subjugated

Must be the beginning of 2012 if AG and Yaz both agree with me.....

Yea...2012 with Republicans in charge, and Obama only warming up the Oval Office for a real leader...how about Palin taking that seat, Arkie?

No, but it is reality and that is what the statement implies. I guess next we will need to put the celtics back in charge in england, the aztecs in mexico and the incans in peru,etc. etc. Actually the jews going back to palestine could fit as they were there thousands of years ago and were ran out much like the indians here. Read your ancient history.

Well, many believe that the world will come to an end in Dec. 2012, so electing Caribou Barbie as Pompass....would definitely make me believe that was about to happen.....
