Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah
I've been trying to grasp who's doing what to whom in this latest Middle East cat fight, but one thing seems for sure--Israel is pounding the crap out of Lebanon, trying to rid the Hezbollah of missiles.
I'm no expert, and unlike these Clyde-types, I don't rush to partisan talking points to see how I should think, but I can't help but feel George W. Bush has ripped open the cages of all these 13th century cockroaches, and in the process started a global jihad.
The Middle East, including Israel, seem to love war more than peace. Didn't Bush learn that from his father?
Besides, any country, sect or militia stupid enough to fuck with Israel must lack even basic history books in their schools.
I hope Bush has the sense to let them settle it themselves instead of sending in that shrill seahag Condi Rice. So far, I have yet to see her brokering even a scintilla of peace, anywhere.
But then, she isn't about peace. She's about the American petroleum industry.
Just like her dumb ass boss.
Heaven help us...or better still, they should send in America's best peacemaker, Jimmie Carter.

What's happened recently is reflective of the long held notion that Israel shouldn't exist. It's the fulfillment of a Biblical mandate, maybe, but at the expense of the Palestinian people. Europe and the U.S. have been diddling with the Mideast since the early 20th Century. It's a mess of our own making and of theirs, too.
How are you on the subject of God's Chosen People?
Carter receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his life-long efforts to promote global peace. I think he'd be a great selection, especially when compared to Rice.
How am I on the subject of God's chosen people?
Well, since I neither own nor read the Bible, I think God chose ALL the people he created.
The Middle East just proves that too much organized religion creates strife and fanaticism.
Bush only rubs the ladies' shoulders. There are no women in power in the Middle East.
When I think of how much I detested Nixon back in the day, I realize that compared to Bush, Nixon was a statesman, a gentleman and a scholar.
