Excellent Post
I must say I could not agree with you more on Jimmy Carter! Of course, democrats have never been known for their ability to know right from wrong about any issue. The USA must always support Israel! I, myself, have always been a supporter of the Jews. Why? My beliefs as a Christian!
I am a Baptist, of course my beliefs are different than the Jews' beliefs, however I will state them all the same. As a Baptist, I believe that God gave this land to Abraham, God promised it to Abraham and God does not go back on promises. However, I believe that many people, today here in the US, forget that in that day the land that was promised to Abraham was not just modern day Israel but also included a part of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Iran and then some. I believe this is one reason why the terrorist hate Israel because they do remember and know this so they will always fight. The Jews have paid a tremendous price over the history of mankind. I am sorry to see certain people such as Ahmadinejad and of course your usual liberal whacko here in this nation who believes the holocaust never happened. Oh yes it did happen and Hitler and his gang have been burning in hell for 60+ years, praise the Lord!
Those of you who doubt that the Jews will never regain their land, do not worry, it will occur:
Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Ezekiel 36:24
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
As a southern Baptist, I can not put it any simply than that. The terrorist know that their time is limited to cause havoc. The reasons I have listed in this comment are the reasons that drive my support of Israel and the Jews and the fight against terrorism and if you are a democrat/liberal who disagrees then I see this as in support of Palestine. I am 100% certain that Yasser Arafat definitely realizes this to be 100% correct! The Jews are God's chosen people. When terrorists attack the Jews they also attack the Baptists as well. Obama would be wise to cotinue the support Israel.
I apologize for the length of this comment, I got carried away.

Well, I read it...
...and am appropriately appalled!!
The politicizing of "higher education" by ex-hippie, de-constructionist malcontents is a significant factor in the gradual, yet, inexorable unraveling of Western Civilization as we know...err...knew it.
This is a damn shame!
My heart goes out to the Pearl family.

we should never outlive a child but to do so in such a senseless and
barbaric way would be impossible to imagine. My heart goes out to the family again.

He is right and the Media is so pussyfooting around the wrongs
of many of the Extremist Muslim countries because of 'oil'. The sooner we can wean ourselves off petroleum, the better.

My Condolences to you.
How dreadful to have someone murder your own son. I cannot even imagine how that must hurt.

I endorse Professor Pearl's words completely, and my heart goes out to him, his wife and family in renewed sorrow for their anguish. I remember as though it was yesterday, when the announcement came...
And what this also renews is my anger at that insufferable fool, Jimmy Carter, without a doubt the worst idiot ever to disgrace the Oval Office, and at all those other 'well-meaning analysts', whose minds are befogged by their timidly wishful daydreams, and who neither know nor understand anything...
