US STATE secretary should not waste her time talking to tzipi livne. our foreing minister is over-rated, has no self confidence, cannot give a speech unless it is written in hebrew and/or english. she is unable to answer question unless she recieves them before hand. she should resign and becone a number 2 in a big embassy. it's sad to see her sit next to ohlmert in cabinet meetings. she should go home and take care of her children. she certainly is not fit to take care of a country at war. she made a good impression at the beginning but she has proven very weak. she is also unable to run the ministry of foreign affiars. when was the last time we saw/heard someone from the ministry on any TV station.???? The only one i have seen is MK Herzog. Resign before u r asked to quit. Be clever enough to do that. We need LEADERS NOW!

Condi is doing what Israel asks her to do.US is never been a fair mediator and they are dectated by what Israel needs. This is creating all this hostility for the US policy in the middle East.

The realities of war as commented by great Americans and famous others In war there is no substitute for victory. - Douglas MacArthur It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. - Douglas MacArthur We are at war, and our security as a nation depends on winning that war. - Condoleezza Rice We make war that we may live in peace. - Aristotle We must take the battle to the enemy, disrupt his plans and confront the worst threats before they emerge. - George W. Bush When I take action, I'm not going to fire a 2 million dollar missile at a 10 dollar empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive. -- (Newsweek, Sep 24, 2001) - George W. Bush The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it. - George Orwell

Dear Ms. Rice, What is pointless is your administrations biased and blind support to Israel! Which makes you not much of a mediator, so if I were you, I'd just sake face by staying in Washington, the message of un-limited support to Israel has been well received so what is the point of wasting American tax payer money on the jet fuel you will be wasting on your trip to the Middle East?! Peace will only be possible in the Middle East when your Zionist Evangelical administration is out of office; otherwise talking peace is just a very obvious B.S. Shalom.

would be over. They would crap their pants and surrender.

To #1, Get a job, that is my only comment to your nonsensical post. First of all, she does not dictate, rule, make decisions, anything, without her bosses approval. And that is how it should be. She is articulate...but you seem to prefer a linguist. Israel has lots of Russians and former Arab country residents, who can speak a variety of languages. I mean, our Condi speaks English and Russian (she was a Russian expert). But does she handle, No. Korean or Japanese? Get real...you don't change in mid stream It's time you Israelis gave some respect to your leaders..and stop trying to put them into the grave..you have enough enemies for that. But maybe you can do a better job? Why not try? My point, is that Sharon may have suffered the stroke more from internal criticism than Abbas.

Have you been taking coffee money from Hizbullah lately?

It sounds like they're a good match then!

Hi Condi Rice, Welcome to the 51st state! Israel is very happy that we are coming to give them support, blessing, weapons, money and to clean some of the blood on the IDF hands. Please tell them that Americans are OK with the massacrs they committed while in Lebanon. Tell them that we in the US are very proud that IDF killed 1 person from Hizbollah, and 300+ lebanese citizens. Tell them that we at the US are very happy to see our tax money at work. Egal.

This is the time for Israel to make rapid progress. Lebanon: work with Israel to rid yourself of Hisbullah now!

Abdullah of Kuwait, As you write from a free Kuwait made possible by the US Military and Pres Bush 1, safe now from Hussein's invasion of your country, I and millions of Americans take offense once again at your hateful speech against Israel, Pres Bush II and Ms. Rice. Get it straight, Abdullah: your beloved UN established Israel in 1948, we will always support Israel because they are a democracy and have proven to be true friends over 60 years, which the Arab world hasn't, and Hamas/Hezbollah is the enemy of all free peoples, including you and the fine people of Kuwait. Since its inception, Israel has created a miracle in the desert by advancing its economy, educating its people,and warding off countless murderous attacks within its sovereign borders. They have given back land to make peace. You blindly follow Islamo-fascists, which is what Hamas and Hezbollah are; and what do they offer you? What have they contributed to the world, to science, to an econony, to peace? NOTHING. Get over it, Abdullah. Go live in Palestine if you think H & H are doing so well for "their people". Any Palestinian would trade your comfy , air-conditioned spot in Kuwait for their lot in a hearbeat. ps. Try to read more broadly, Abbie; you are only seeing one side of the world situation. There are now approximately 15 conflicts going on globally; why are they all Islamo-facsist based? From Indonesia, to India, to Madrid, to our beloved NYC, to London, to Iraq and Afghanistan, to Darfur, to Kosovo, to Russia, why are they all started by the "religion of peace"? What does H & H do but bring death and destruction, and what are their glorious plans to improve your life?

It is ironic to expect a country, which killed 100 thousand people in Iraq (where it came to bring democracy), to be negotiator for peace. First, clean blood stain of Iraqi children , Rice

Abdullah is probably a Palestinian working in Kuwait. There are a lot of them because they cannot figure out how to make an economy of their own, and most of them supported Saddam's invasion.

Look Barbara, It is I who is sick and tired of ignorant/arrogant Americans who consider any criticism of Israel as an Anti-Jewish act! American is our friend but that does not mean that we must be friends with America's friends, this is non-sense garbage! Here in Kuwait we awe the U.S. for the rest of our lives and we will always be grateful to your country but that does not mean that we got our selves enslaved to the U.S. forever! Wake up and smell the coffee, and be more rational in your comments. I am neither Anti Jews nor am I Anti Israelis; as a matter of fact I have many Jewish and Israeli close friends! Yes we agree on things and we disagree on other things but we remain close friends! So I ask of you to stop viewing the world in back and white colors and join the grey reality! Shalom.

I like ur unlimited support to this Fashist country called Israel.Israel would be gone a long time ago w/out your support.US is interested in the oil pipe line in the fisrt place and the billions U are giving to Israel is to secure this resource to live a prosperous life.Unfortunately, US people are a very materialistic people, have U ever learn about the Palestinian suffer, U only know what is going on on the Israeli side and Israeli media(that control the US media in general) when an Israeli is injured here or there.The time where muslim people accept this surrender is over and all the muslim are going forward and your Israel is declying.It is a matter of time before U see global changing..

Barbara pointed it some very important points about terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah. They really haven't done anything for diplomacy, economics, peace, and science. They want destruction of Judaism and Christianity. The Quran itself talks against these religions - and look who their hatred is for -- Israel (Jew) and America (Christian). Yuck! Enough is enough. STOP TRYING TO DEFEND TERRORISTS. ENOUGH! If it hasn't been set in stone in your head, yet - well, then you must have a mental disorder.

Yours was more than an excellent response! Every day I think we need more and more minds like yours, but I realise we're sinking in an ocean of blatant idiocy and inherited hatred... I talk to people blinded by anti-American hatred every day and have come to exhaustion with my logical arguments why America is one of the few forces of good in this world. It's like you need to have people call the weather institute, to find out whether this is indeed summer in the northern hemisphere...
