Sarah Palin Would Allow Israel To Drag Us Into War With Iran.

Sarah Palin Would Allow Israel To Drag Us Into War With Iran.
In her interview last night with Charles Gibson, Sarah Palin clearly showed that she would not oppose Israel if it decided to attack Iran, and thereby drag the United States into yet another war . . . even a likely World War III.
Here are the exact words, as reported by Fox News at http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/11/raw-data-palins-interview-with-abc-news/#comment-659260
GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an existential threat to Israel?
PALIN: I believe that under the leadership of Ahmadinejad, nuclear weapons in the hands of his government are extremely dangerous to everyone on this globe, yes.
GIBSON: So, what should we do about a nuclear Iran?
PALIN: We have got to make sure these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran.
GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and need to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?
PALIN: Well, first, we are friends of Israel, and I don’t think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves, and for their security.
GIBSON: So if we didn’t second guess it and if they decided they needed to do it, because Iran was an existential threat, we would be cooperative or agree with that?
PALIN: I don’t think we can second guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.
GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right?
PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.
###
"We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself."
NOTE: She gave the same answer three times to three slightly different versions of the question, without actually agreeing to the precise words which were asked. By avoiding the exact question, she was able to reframe the question and provide a less chilling, more reasonable-sounding answer.
But sadly, the truth is that she would allow -- without "second guessing" -- Israel to drag us into a likely World War III, without even trying to stop it.
What she should have said is, "No."
We are the United States of America. The state of Israel is basically our child, because we created it in 1948 and we have kept it alive since then. Without us, Israel would not exist as a Jewish state today. Because of this, we are morally responsible for everything Israel ever does wrong in the world. Sometimes it seems like having a juvenile delinquent child. We cannot permit our delinquent child to attack a country and start a war without first receiving our explicit consent. An attack by Israel is an attack by the United States, and it would surely justify any warlike response against us that Iran and its friends might want to launch.
May God help us all.

The Long-Term Psychological Effects Of Torture

The Long-Term Psychological Effects Of Torture
An Overview Of Current Information

Using this Google search . . .
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=long-term+psychological+effects+of+torture& . . . these are the main psychological effects we found:
Emotional Instability, Depression, Passivity, Fatigue And Disturbed Sleep
"After an observation period of about 10 years a follow-up examination was made of 22 Greeks earlier exposed to torture. All had physical symptoms and about 90% of the examinees had chronic psychological symptoms which had appeared after the torture experience, the most notable of which were emotional instability, depression, passivity, fatigue and disturbed sleep."
Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4023668
Difficulty Concentrating, Nightmares, Insomnia, Memory Loss, Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression And Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
"Long-term psychological effects include difficulty concentrating, nightmares, insomnia, memory loss, fatigue, anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder."
Source: http://www.cvt.org/main.php/Advocacy/TortureisUn-American/EffectsofPsychologicalTorture
Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
"The psychological effects of torture can include major depression, anxiety, and the constellation of symptoms known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Survivors of torture and trauma may also experience feelings of shame, guilt, powerlessness or worthlessness, an inability to visualize the future, and difficulty connecting to other people."
Source: http://www.astt.org/torture.html
NOTE: "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened."
"Most people with PTSD repeatedly relive the trauma in their thoughts during the day and in nightmares when they sleep. These are called flashbacks. Flashbacks may consist of images, sounds, smells, or feelings, and are often triggered by ordinary occurrences, such as a door slamming or a car backfiring on the street. A person having a flashback may lose touch with reality and believe that the traumatic incident is happening all over again."
Source: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/anxiety-disorders/post-traumatic-stress-disorder.shtml

The ANTI-TORTURE NETWORK is a group of people joined together by their common desire to oppose torture wherever it exists. The motto of this group is "Opposing Torture Everywhere." And we particularly oppose all torture by The United States under the Bush Administration.
Our main website is named The Anti-Torture Network and it is located at http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/anti-torture.html.

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation, With MP3 Audio Reading

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation, With MP3 Audio Reading

Sets a clear precedent that public worship of God is both lawful and desirable throughout all of the United States

The Institute For The Life Of George Washington has created and released a new web page containing George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation and an MP3 audio reading of it. Both items are now in the Public Domain, free for everyone to use without restriction. The web page is located at http://lifeofgeorgewashington.org/georgewashingtonsthanksgivingproclamation.html

With this Proclamation, our first President, George Washington, established Thanksgiving Day as a national day of thanks to "Almighty God" in 1798, following a request from Congress to do so. By these actions, President Washington and Congress set a clear precedent that public worship of God is both lawful and desirable throughout the United States.

The proclamation itself refers to God as "that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be," and as "the great Lord and Ruler of Nations." Thus there can be no doubt that our first President and Congress believed strongly in God and supported Public recognition and worship of him in the United States.

Here is the text of this proclamation . . .

[New York, 3 October 1789]
By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor--and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be--That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions--to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness onto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
Go: Washington
