You really think I was serious about the Feng Shui comment? Hmm. Okay.

I don't know about you, but I don't think this:
is an effective tool in searching for explosives. Especially when it purposely knocks over a wall on a girl.

They have all the marbles. They have the big military, they have the WWII sympathy, they have the big, burly moron of a friend who backs them up whether they're right or wrong. They even have nukes! It seems as if people forget that Israel CAN negotiate.
What happens if Palestine negotiates a cease-fire, but because they lack infrastructure for proper police they can't stop some dumb kid from avenging the brutal murder of his older brother by Israeli soldiers? Simple: Israel is called a victim and Palestine is the evil terrorist aggressors in the media.
Now, multiply that by 1000.

Oh, so if someone is doing something illegal against you, you can do something illegal back. I'll be sure to remember that the next time I see someone change lanes without signaling. I'll start speeding or something.
