You from China should be the last person on earth complaining about stolen borders, your imperialist past and present has made you what you are today. Return Mongolia and Tibet to freedom for starters, and then lecture us about stolen borders.
62. Dept of State troubled?
billary ,   USA   (06.06.11)
And I am deeply troubled by persistent pesky rumors about a long term special relationship between the sec'y of state and a moslem female aide who is now married to the (in)famous Anthony Weiner.
63. That s because they have not ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.06.11)
a clear vision to know what to stand for.
64. Uhm Mr president of USA...
rachel ,   chutz4now   (06.06.11)
when was the last time YOUR country evacuated and medical treated people out to see your destruction? TOP THAT FOR ETHICS AND MORALS>
65. "deeply troubled"
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.06.11)
Every day, Obama's forces massacre many more Libyans and Afghans than were killed yesterday on the Golan. Unlike in the Golan, where Syrian soldiers in civilian dress try to break through a "hot border", possibly carrying bombs, Obama's forces attack far away countries with indiscriminate air attacks for no apparent reason. This is what should be troubling the State Department.
66. Since when is killing innocent people "protecting borders".
Common Sense ,   USA   (06.06.11)
IN the US, we don't shoot border jumpers. We don't like them, but we don't kill innocent people.
67. So, when Israel kills unarmed people it is 'okay'?

68. Golan Heights
tom dee ,   Savannah Ga USA   (06.06.11)
Every day Ben-Gurion is proved to be correct when he opposed the 1967 war. The weekend events happened on the golan heights which was grabbed 6 hours after Syria accepts the Israel proposed cease fire. The war should have been over and it puts a great distrust of any agreement Israel ever makes. There was no excuse for deadly force by the IOF. The Palestinians had no weapons and they were not close to the present any danger to the IOF. The IOF is quick to shot and that places Israel in a very bad light.
69. US deeply troubled at violating the Camp David Acc. on Golan
observer ,   Egypt   (06.06.11)
Israel to "talk" with Syrians & Palestinian has been in the permeable and body of the Peace Treaty with Egypt. Replacing the much much delayed talk with taking out lives of unarmed Syrians protesters entitle Egypt to potentially null the treaty. US is most deeply troubled.
70. Mexico
Dwight ,   Aurora, USA   (06.06.11)
Good point David maybe someone in the White House will get the point too. Good Luck and God Bless you and Israel.

Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (06.06.11)
..in Afghanistan and Pakistan. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
73. I wonder
IRAN#1   (06.06.11)
What the US reaction would have been had Iran shot those American "hikers" on the spot as they approached Iranian border?
