Carter: Hamas Willing to Accept Israel as 'Neighbor Next Door in Peace'

Ex-President Jimmy Carter recently met with Hamas leaders to negotiate a peace between the terrorist group and Israel. He believed that this peace was possible, but a Hamas spokesmen said Hamas' readiness to put a peace deal to a referendum "does not mean that Hamas is going to accept the result of the referendum." Palestine says that it will sign a peace referendum with Israel if Israel agrees to regress to their former bounderies (prior to 1967). Israel refuses to comply, and so not much progress is being made. Carter requested that Hamas agree to a monthlong unilateral truce, but Hamas did not agree with this proposal.
Opinion:
What is Carter doing? As a former President, he is an influential representative of the United States, and his meeting with the enemies of our allies is a slap in Israel's face. It also makes us look bad. These people have been at war with each other for centuries--does he really think that by getting the terrorist leaders and Israeli leaders in the same room they will talk it out and fix all their problems?

Texas Polygamy

A witness said there was no sexual activity taking plave in a Mormon church after investigators discovered a bed inside the facility. An expert of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FCLDS) said this bed was used for naps, and not to consemmate marriages of underage girls. Recently, the church has been accused of encouraging underage marriages of girls to much older men. The allegations began after a 16-year-old called the police and said her 50 year-old husband had raped and beaten her. As of lately, many of the children in the community have been removed from their parents' custody and placed into foster homes, for fear that they would also be abused. The courts are now deciding if they should give the children back to their parents, or continue to keep them in foster homes.
Opinion:
It's sad how these people can be brainwashed into believing they have to marry whoever they are told to as soon as they begin puberty, even if this person is a much older man who already has several wives. I think it's just an excuse for a lot of these men to take advantage of young girls, even though they say polygamy is a vital part of their belief system. It says some of these girls were giving birth at the age of thirteen. It's just gross. And I wouldn't be surprised if the bed was used to consemmate marriages. The Mormons only recognize marriages when they are performed inside the temple, so it wouldn't be a far stretch to think they had a bed inside the temple for this pupose as well. It would make more sense then to say they were encouraging naps during church, especially by a sect that stresses good works as a way to get into heaven.
