Excerpts:
-------------------
Jewish leaders praised the removal of a monument of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Judicial Building but are concerned by some of the developments the case has spawned.
"The result was what we wanted," said Deborah Lauter, the Anti-Defamation League´s Southeast region director. "We celebrate the rule of law prevailing."

Despite the legal victory, some in the Jewish community are concerned by the amount of support Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore has received in the state and in Congress. They worry that he will be portrayed as a martyr in future clashes over church-state issues.

They also worry that public response to the Ten Commandments case might cause some federal judges to let other unpopular orders go unenforced.

1. The Christian neo-cons are too dense to understand that our military

is losing lives in Iraq largely because of being hoodwinked into the invasion by Israeli influence on our government.

2. "Israeli influence" is not the same thing as "the Jewish Community"

Good grief! What Israelis (who are citizens of Israel--not all of whom are Jewish) do thousands of miles away have nothing to do with the Jewish Community's concerns in Alabama. There is a difference, you know.
