On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:

What does it mean if the U.S. was involved in the planning of Israel's attacks on Hezbollah?

Leaders in Israel must be out of their minds, if they allowed the U.S. to plan, or assist in planning a military action against Hezbollah. Our track record in the war in Iraq should have indicated to the Israelis that they should have simply gone it alone. No wonder they had so much trouble in the military action in Lebanon.
Robert, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I thought that the occupation of Southern Lebanon was a botched plan, unlike most Israeli campaigns. Now we know why. The White House Iraq Group was providing their expertise.
Rick, Toronto

I would not be surprised if America had a hand in the planning of the attack on Hezbollah. President Bush has made it clear that he will be targeting all terrorists and those who harbor terrorists. I hope we helped plan the attack, especially if it means destroying the terrorist threat.
Jeremiah, Flint, Michigan

It means that two of the best intelligence agencies in the world have even worse capabilities than we figured and we should rethink our Middle East foreign policy based on these lacking capabilities.

How can Republicans running for re-election distance themselves from Pres. Bush?

Republicans shouldn't worry about distancing themselves from "W." The voters will assist them in November, when they send them home for good.
Craig, Weirton, West Virginia

If you want to distance yourself from a lousy boss, the first thing you do is your job. You get rid of the rubber stamp and think for yourself. Now that would be refreshing.
John, Sarasota, Fla.

By switching parties and becoming Democrats or Libertarians.
Laura, Trumbull, Connecticut

It's too late for Republicans to do anything about this. Step aside.

How will last week's terror scare affect the midterm elections?

If the American voters, for the third straight time, fall for the Republicans' fear-mongering tactics of "vote for us or terrorists will kill you" then they deserve an incompetent Congress. How many times can one political party play the same playbook before the voters finally figure it out?
Matt, Nova Scotia

It will increase the numbers of voters seeking to entirely change the elected leadership of our country, as people see how readily the leaders currently in power will use terror incidents to foment fear in hopes of getting people to keep them in office.
David, Murphy, North Carolina

The foiling of the terrorist plot in London, facilitated by the Pakistani and U.S. intelligence sources, demonstrates that the Republicans are right. We need all the tools in the intelligence tool box that President Bush wants and the Democrats do not.
Chris, Tampa, Florida

Last week's terror scare reminds us that five years after 9/11, Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden are still on the loose. The war in Iraq didn't make us safer -- we need new leadership and new ideas in November.
