I started following his writing and commentary about four years ago, after watching a lengthy C-SPAN interview with him. He is not a fan of President Obama, and he pulls no punches in his commentary. Bruce, you might be interested to read his commentaries from 3/15/09 and 3/16/09 about Obama's economic strategy. http://www.victorhanson.com/ As an aside, Victor Hanson is a brilliant scholar, historian, and commentator.

And all the mass casualties of the war the innocent children who did nothing to deserve their awful fate. Unfornatly these wars have existed off and on for so long it makes you wonder if we will ever see a resolution in our lifetimes Angie I agree with Jenni above it is so hard to turn on the nightly news anymore with all the violence so rampant in our world.

It's really sad that we live in a world where not only do we bomb eachother, but the desired outcome is mass casualties.

It isn't just about the big bombs and the soldiers... it's about the families and the people... I look at the pictures of the kids sometimes, and just cry. How can they keep doing this to themselves? Is it really worth all the hearache and lives lost? NO.... it's not.

It seems that there will never be an year on Earth without any war.

The ultra-right wing hardliners in Israel combined with Ashkenazi jews and american religious fanatics are pushing Isreal towards a "holy war" with the heathens. Just looked at all the territory they've seized from it's rightful owners since the nations "founding".

It is a very keen observation that many have not been able to decipher with this conflict. However, my constant search for answer is how peace could be achieved in this part of the country. Will the Hamas be able to subdue their great hate to Israelis? How? Dr. Bruce,

The indigenous Jews lived in harmony with the Arabs until the Zionist immigrants came. The people of Gaza the displaced people of those towns being bombarded by Hamas rockets.. They were forced into this open prison called Gaza. I cannot seem to see the reason behind the points raised here. Is this the kind of "civilized" world we live in? I will call it moral contortionism where we find a reason to call what is moral as we see fit.. Like what I always say, do not look at the recent past but go back farther.
