More Bombs in Israel Courtesy of Hamas
Matt's Chat: At the risk of being accused of "spewing hate," is the media ready to declare Hamas a terrorist organization?
Mark's Remarks: I am never one to listen to those who spew the hate of those who refuse to listen to us.....I think the media needs to quit treating Arafat as some kind of hero and lambast him for what he is: the biggest obstacle to the peace process in the region. Hamas is not freedom fighters. They are evil. They kill innocent women and children of both Israelis and Palestinians. The media needs to quit being so overly sympathetic to them and paint them as what they are: evil despots who want to continue a war to justify their own homicidal and genocidal tendencies.
Lawmakers Slam NASA Chief for Lack of Space Goal
At his third Capitol Hill appearance since the Aug. 26 release of a highly critical investigators' report on NASA's role in the fatal Columbia accident, O'Keefe told the House of Representatives Science Committee there had been no clear vision for human space flight since the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s and 1970s. "But we have no goals," said Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. "We're not going to the Moon, we're not going to Mars. ... We have no goals, isn't that true?" This story is by Deborah Zabarenko of Reuters.
Matt's Chat: Methinks that the Congressman has a valid point...
Mark's Remarks: I could not agree more, however, I do not think the NASA chief of present should take all the blame. The space program has been in decline since even before Challenger blew up. The space shuttle, while a most interesting concept, retarded our journeys to other places. We quit going to the moon, we concerned ourselves with fixing satellites and other endeavors. NASA lost its focus on exploration and instead became a cable repair service. We need a rededication to the ideas of exploration and adventure that fueled the space race of the 1960s. While my colleague has made a valid point to me that the shuttle is meant to be used to get us to the space station, etc., I think we need to find something better. We need to get back into the constant improvement of NASA, and not sticking with the status quo.

Matt's Chat: This is another one of those situations where politics and fear will get in the way of real progress in the region. This will not happen.
Mark's Remarks: I totally agree. But, I hold out hope that it will happen.
