It's a real shame to learn about this. But I won't let it stop me from being friends with two Isreali's I've made good friends with here in Kh Pha Ngan. They are not in support of these things. They are really good people, open minded, and fun to hang out with.

To be American, I have my share of embarassment. How about 1,000,000 Iraques killed for starters in the last decade or so. For what? Doesn't the story go....the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, our alies. Shouldn't we have bombed them?

Point is that from my travels I've noticed that the citicens of most countries are good people, it's the out of control governments and power elite that can certainly cause shame for the countrymen.

The wolrd is in tourmoil, seems like it has been that way forever. But along my travels I see that people around the world are truly waking up, and maybe that will bring an end or atleast a slowing down to the atrocities your post talks about. Thank you for sharing you really got me thinkng on this one.

On another note, I just posted what I've been reffering to as my super post. You know I'm new on here, and I respect any advice and opinions you have. Would love for you to check it out. I think it's the best think I've published yet.

Hope you are well!
