Gov. Schwarzenegger issued the following statement regarding today's events in the Middle East:

"As violence and terrorism once again erupts in the Middle East, we pray for the safety of all the people in the region. I urge all Californians to join with me in disavowing terrorism wherever it lives and rejecting any expressions of hate. No one benefits from violence whether they are Israeli, Palestinian or Lebanese."

Actually, as my co-workers point out, Halliburton seems to benefit from the hating quite a bit.
