It has been a long held notion that Puerto Rico is the 51st State. They would not appreciate assigning the distinction to another country.
But then there are those who think we already have 57 states. So I don't know what number Puerto Rico or Israel would be anyway.

According to the United States government, yes. According to me, they are just another oppressive regime in the Middle East that the U.S. supports.

They are not the only democratic nation in the ME, turkey is also democratic

and yes israel is an oppressive regime, they are worse than hitler and the Nazis.

The Nazis moved the Jews into ghetto's.

The Israelis keep the Palestinians in death camps and use them for shooting practice.

How many Palestinians have been killed so far, as far as I'm aware of the Israelis have killed 6 million Palestinians.

Obama said he campaigned in 57 U.S. states-Truth! & Fiction!

[SIZE=2]It was at a campaign appearance in Beaverton, Oregon, on May 9, 2008. Obama said, "It is just wonderful to be back in Oregon. And over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states; I think one left to go."

Utterly moronic. And fraught with ugly lies.

Do your gem diving in cesspools, do you?
