Shalom Chaim, Two points if I may

1) Brief followup to my question last week about killing the Hamas savage in Dubai.  I agree with most (if not all) of your points.  However, I still believe this was a good thing because it plants fear in our enemies.  If we can get them in a place like Dubai, where are they safe?  The more Jew haters have to look over their shoulders the less time they have to kill Jews.

2) What do you think of justice that comes from the wrong source.  For instance after OJ Simpson got away with brutally and obviously slaughtering two people (one Jewish) for reasons of race he was convicted of a stupid rampage in Las Vegas.  The Vegas incident was much less extreme but he will probably be in prison for the rest of his life.  Should we just view that as the justice he should have gotten in the LA trial?

Closer to our hearts, and more relevant,  Olmert is on trial for corruption.  I would like to see him on trial for many things. 
a) For running the brutality and sexual assaults that occurred at Amona.
b) For sending young Jews to die in the 2nd Lebanon War when he had no intention of winning the war.
c) For allowing the persecution of Jews who defend themselves from murderous Arabs, such as Daniel Pinner, Avri Ran and Shai Dromi.
While I would enjoy seeing him punished does it benefit us if he gets punished for corruption while he gets away with these awful crimes?
While I want to see him punished does it do us any good if it is not for the real crimes?

Please tell us about the time you met Streisand again.

Spiraling Leopard:
Hello Chaim,

it is commonly accepted that the tidal rise and fall of the oceans is for a great deal caused by the moon. Apparently, the moon has some sort of influence on water. Since about 80% of the human body is made out of water, it is not that far a stretch to conclude the moon has a big influence on the human body as well.
Are there any Jewish sources that would support influences of the moon and other planets on the human body?

Thank you,

Robert.

When I was a kid, I remember my mother taking me to see the play, "Dreamgirls." One scene that really made a profound impression on me is when the black group made this hit single called, "Cadillac Car" which was really taking off. Then a group of white people took the exact lyrics from that song and stole it from the black group and remade the song as their own and got away with it. I got the impression that this was a true depiction of what really happened back then. So I was a bit surprised when you stated that it was black people that stole music from whites, especially really notorious black artists. I'm curious as to what your sources are and where I could find reliable literature on this. Do you also claim that The Platters stole their music from white people as well? I always thought that at least they made their own music.
