Tops $40 Billion in 2007

quarterly and annual corporate profits

Chevron, the nation's second-largest oil company, also reported big gains in earnings. (Ed Note: There is a connection between oil with wars and conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.

The Siege is Broken

If Egypt with Israel, nor the Palestinian Authority can control this border, some have suggested a return to border control by international monitors..

But Hamas is also opposed to this idea, stating, "The international monitors who were at the border were working as spies for the US and Israel and deciding who and what could get in"

Hamas thwarts Egypt's bid to block cars from Gaza and to close the broken border crossing.
