Scary rhetoric

Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah acknowledges that Israeli troops can sweep across south Lebanon. But if he and his militants can survive and keep fighting, he will cement his image as the unlikely new hero of Arab nationalism.

"A defeat in Lebanon will end the region's resistance movements, the Palestinian cause and impose Israel's conditions for a settlement," he warned.

"If Israel is able to defeat the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon, God forbid, then the Arab world, governments and peoples will drown in eternal humiliation from which they will have no way out."

President Bush issued the first veto of his 5½-year presidency on Wednesday.

"This bill would support the taking of innocent human life of the hope of finding medical benefits for others. It crosses a moral boundary that our society needs to respect, so I vetoed it," Mr. Bush said.

(even though) "The fact is that there are hundreds of thousands of embryos that are destined to be discarded as medical waste. They could be put to very good use in medical research," Dr. George Daley of Harvard University's Stem Cell Institute

"They remind us of what is lost when embryos are destroyed in the name of research. They remind us that we all begin our lives as a small collection of cells. And they remind us that in our zeal for new treatments and cures, America must never abandon our fundamental morals." [Bush] said.

i'm sorry, but what a load of crap. 70 percent of the public supports this bill. as ahnold himself put it, his veto "turns America backwards on the path of scientific progress and limits the promise of medical miracles for generations to come." great legacy.
