    Lest We Forget

    So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men — Voltaire

    May or may not have happened. But when someone or a group offers a large sum of money if someone can prove a negative, it is usually a hoax on the level of those Nigerian money scams.

    "...and especially not Israel..." Why "especially"? Sounds like someone has it out for Israel. Makes me not believe the whole story.
    No reserve. No retreat. No regrets.

    For those who have fought for it, freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.

    Don't look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.

    Click on the picture of the ship, and see the obvious American flag. Sorry I dont buy a mistake. Anyone familiar with procedures knows that before any attack on a vessel, F.F identification is a must.

    What possible reason would some nation have for purposely attacking one of its few allies?
