   Thanks, Mash
   Wow, for once, I’m on the right! I am shocked, shocked!

   OOps, that would be the Left. I have been thinking about medical L/R perspectives. The flag under which I currently live is in the majority, and that’s gotta be a new thang! Oh,there is hope for children. Doing, saying nothing is no longer an option. It’s the little things said around the lunch table, the papers and magazines one leaves, the little things that make us think.

   I raise this issue with trepidation…Where was is will be Palestine? Palestine was the territorial name for the Roman conquered lands. Before that, it was called Caanan? Google Gertrude Bell. Who benefits from the Lines Drawn on A Map? Read “The Bible Unearthed” by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman. Both Archaelogicists and Historians, who have sifted through the ruses of power mongers of the ancient times.
   I have a son, whom I will not give up for a lie.

   Oh, that goes for Isra El, too. No more fables to burn our cradles.

   Talk about going it alone! This is what you get with “Cowboy Diplomacy”: a coalition of three.

   Yeh, but unfortunately one of the three is the world superpower and the funder of Israeli atrocities. The US is the only country that matters when it comes to Israel. It provides it with a monster military and provides the political muscle - in the shape of a veto - to allow Israel to essentially just do whatever it wants. Since Israel (like the US) has not recognised the Internatioal Court (ICC), it can only be tried for war crimes if it referred to the court by the UNSC. Which won’t happen, because of the US veto. In return, the US gets a military base in the Middle East.

   Oh, if only the veto did not exist…

   Aunty, sometimes truth is right :”>

   Robbie, its the Coalition of the One, Two, Three…bomb!

   Jamie, today’s show in the Senate by the Democrats demonstrated why this issue is not solvable. I was embarrassed by their behavior today. They were falling over each other to kiss AIPAC ass.

   The so-called major lefty bloggers are falling over each other to defend why they are not covering this war…as if it isnt even happening. They said that it was too “complicated” and that it has no impact on domestic issues. Who are these guys kidding?

   I guess principles only matter when we are talking about Iraq or other places. But when it comes to Israeli bombing of civilians, they same folks that were bashing GWB are completely silent because its too complicated. I wonder if these bloggers are running for political office. They are sure acting like they are. Simply pathetic. :-&

    The picture reminds me of another thing. Here’s my version of the story:

    100’s of dead Lebanese : 2 kidnapped Isreali soldiers

    It’s always the minority who win… where’s the democracy in that?! (
