Israel claims that it's theirs, Zion, because God gave it to them. The Palestinians have a bunch of holy places scattered all over Israel. Thus both sides have god given rights to be there.

    Yeah... Thanks, I just figured that out after I posted my message. Hey, it's friday (that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!) ;P That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

    I actually use Internet Explorer more than any other app if you add all my "app-hours" together, but you are right: I don't let children use it. In fact, I get nervous letting *anyone* else use my machine. What gets me confused is how I seem to abuse my machine 100 times more than many other people, and these people have nothing but constant problems with *everything* they have installed. I guess my machine and I just have a special relationship - one of mutual detest where we both just get on and do what we are meant to do without wasting each others time. :-D David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Tiptoe Through The Tulips

    Very nice app indeed! Now I can combine ICQ and IRC (two media I commonly use). Thanks for the info/link! -- Master, I'm so glad to feel your presence. But you don't seem to share my impatience.
