I guess it would be like the Mexicans coming here illegally, taking over
California at gunpoint and telling the people in California they can now clear
the land of snakes for them while they put them into tents to live. The
Mexicans were there before the Americans, correct? They have a right to do
that, correct?
I have to say I tend to agree. Those poor people in Lebanon. They didn't even
support Hezbollah (according to Christiane Amanpour anyway) but now things may
be changing. I had my hopes pinned on Hillary, but she's for amnesty, and now
to say that she's on one side or the other is to exclude the middle ground of
diplomacy. Bush has done zero negotiation throughout his entire presidency.
He swaggers and acts imperiously, talks down to countries like Iran, alienates
everyone, negotiates at gunpoint. Even Putin made a joke about Bush wanting to
democratize Russia the way he democratized Iraq. Bush & Co., especially
Cheney, want to destroy democracy at home while spreading it through invasion
overseas.
I heard a story on Lou Dobbs that the Israeli invasion is galvanizing the jihad
movement. Surprise, right? The Israelis learned nothing from the Iraq
invasion, and even sadder, neither did Bush. Even if they destroy Hezbollah,
they can't destroy Iran, and if they uproot the new democracy in Lebanon,
they'll leave a vacuum. Israel does have the tacit approval of Arab nations
who are afraid of the religious fundamentalists, but even that speaks to the
need for working with, not against.
The Israelis usurped that area originally (yes, Stan, they did), that's why
this conflict is so intractable. They set the tone for all this and they've
spent 60 years fighting for their 'right' to live in a place they muscled their
way into. Of course they'll never see their part in any of this and it will
just get worse and worse into eternity. Okay, Stan, tell me I'm anti-Semitic
and be done with it.

i wonder would she have said that if she had known people personally who had
moved to Lebanon, like my Ex wife, for example, and the *ahem* ---nevermind,
they are bombing the place ....would she have said , do what you must do???
lets all pray that no one bombs where you live and have someone said, hey
it's cool, Keep in mind, i wished that President Clinton could have stayed in
office, then we would not have had to plunged our country into the bushes...
