Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

On one hand, yes, it does show the commitment to individual lives. On the other hand, it doesn’t seem to engender any gratitude among the populace being thus cared for, and it does seem to encourage Hamas et al. to seize more captives.

What do you think of Daniel Greenfield’s position?

I liked Paul’s way of running the debate from the back row. Everyone had to respond to him. If you look at Paul’s ideas using the example of moving the country’s government as going back to 1955. It is easy to see why Immigration would not be a problem. Education would not be a problem, the economy would not be a problem. That doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be any problems, just that they would be small in comparison. I think he wants to do more, but, 1955 works for me. Back to the subject, his answer to the hostage exchange was great. He refused to give an opinion. By making the others defend their aggressive opinions he made the point that it was Israel’s decision to make. Following his example, is probably a good idea.

I disagree with him (it appears) on the border fence issue but the whole border issue cannot be discussed without also getting into the War on Drugs … not covered in the debate.

(2) Gilad Shalit is a topic which I am out of synch with a lot of people – but I am influenced by Jeff Jacoby’s column:

http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2011/10/18/shalits_release_will_be_too_costly_for_israel/

who cites that 183 Jews have been murdered by RELEASED TERRORISTS:

As heartless as it is to say – my life is not worth the deaths of 183 other Jews or even a dozen atheists over…. –

I just hope no additional people get murdered as a result of this “prisoner exchange”.
