I visited there when Ehud Barak(?) was presiding over the country, and I had a great time----a deep sense of history ancient and recent all blended into a resounding pride that almost everything canbe survived and overcome.

Chris, thank you very much ('todah rabah' as we say in Hebrew) for your kind comments about Israel on your program lastnight. I really sppreciate hearing the positive remarks in times when the country and its people are under constant attack by others in the media, and by those neighboring dictatorships sworn to its destruction.

As Jews in the Diaspora, we all hope more high-profile media personalities will see Israel as 'this great and gutsy country on its anniversary'.

Thank you for your courage and honesty.

The McCain campaign's excessive and repeated use of disinformation exhibits many of the classic tactics and strategies of what the military calls information warfare.

The repeated use of distortions and inaccuracies as a strategy has proven effective as a tool by many discredited political regimes in the past century (such as Sadam Hussein , Kim Jong Il and Fidel Castro).

John McCain's military experience/connections and the conduct of his campaign raises my concern that he is effectively employing many of the principles of information warfare against America's media, society and the Obama campaign. The McCain campaign is Carl Rove politics on steroids!

If the media educated the American public about information warfare tactics, strategies and principles, it would help inoculate them from the deleterious and insidious effects of such conduct.
