Missed a bit of this...
Just returned from Israel.
With all the **** going on, that country is still the most incredible place...
Walking around Jerusalem, the pig lard idea seems a little impractical - it will be interesting to see how/if they implement it.
Anyway Doc, your theory on the pig avoidance due to health is a common misconception. It's avoided purely for kosher reasons, no more no less. Which is a spiritual matter - nothing to do with ones diet.
As for those Muslims that think the US shouldn't be there but think Saddam should have gone, perhaps they could explain who else has done the job so far. If the US hadn't stepped in, how long would it have been till Saddam went. Can't have things both ways.
As for the looting, it's somewhat inevitable and it will blow over. Tyrannical regimes take a little longer to fizzle out.
Anyway, where did you pop up from Davey boy...you married yet?
And Dogchow, check your PM's for goodness sake..
