Jerusalem Post reporter Caroline Glick who was the first reporter on the scene of a possible Iraqi chemical weapons plant writes of the problems she had to overcome to become an embedded reporter with the US army in Kuwait in the face of repeated Kuwaiti opposition. She also has pointed observations on the people and nature of Kuwaiti society who depend on foreigners to do all the work in their country. 11:11:03 PM

In a letter to the editor of the LA Times, Leon Sturman challenges members of the International Solidarity Movement be human shields for Israelis also. If members of the International Solidarity Movement really want to put themselves in harm's way, I suggest the following: ride buses in Israel, the same buses children use to go to school; go to an outdoor cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee; go dancing in a discotheque; or go to religious services. In Israel, all of the above are far more dangerous than standing in front of a bulldozer.  I would not ever expect this to occur. Firstly the ISM only consider Palestinians victims, they would never consider helping to prevent attacks on Israeli. Secondly, Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists would not refrain from attacking Americans; they would consider it a bonus. 1:38:54 AM
