I have to wonder how far this guy that we call our president, Bush, has his head up Israel's ass? (Or is it the other way around?)
With the G-8 summit going on in Russia this weekend, President Putin on Friday, according to the Associated Press, called on all sides in the Middle East fighting to end the bloodshed immediately.
"No hostage-takings are acceptable ... but neither is the use of full-scale force in response to these, even if unlawful, actions," Putin said. "We will demand that all sides involved in the conflict immediately stop the bloodshed."
Several European G-8 nations also condemned the fighting and called for an immediate ceasefire. But can Bush bring himself to condemn the current outbreak of violence in Israel and Lebanon? Ahm, here, let me give you a hint. "It begins with the letter "N"--as in, "Nope!"
One would think the least Bush could do would echo Putin's and European leader's calls for an end to this senselessness. Even if Bush doesn't mean it. (Which evidence seems to support.) But Bush refuses to even appear concerned. And that's called really ballsy.
So what does the Great Pretender to the oval office do instead? Well, he puts the onus on Egypt and Syria to try to stop Hezbollah's aggression. As we all know by now, Bush, Cheney, and Rice will go the extra mile to avoid negotiation, aka "diplomacy". Diplomacy for them is ultimately at the end of a missile.
And what does our "president" have to say to the Israelis about this mess? Well, they should try to limit civilian casualties in their attempts to initiate Armageddon. And that's called 'your head up their ass' stupidity because it blatantly exposes this administration's hypocrisy.
But why should such adaciousness surprise any of us? Bush and Cheney are loose cannons on the global deck of world security. The United States has become, in the eyes of most of the world, a rogue nation. Or as it's spelled, a T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-T state. Don't it make ya proud?

Thanks ahmedinajad for the background of why we're all so inclined to kill each other based on 'stories' brought down to us from our ancestral forebears.
Truthfully, I don't have time to devote to religious dogma--which may not be a bad thing. Contrary, it may in actuality save me from going out and shooting my neighbor based on his unacceptable beliefs.
Total acceptance of a god--just as total rejection of same--requires much faith. Unfortunately, that's more faith than I have to devote to either extreme, nor care to invest in on this hellacious Earthly plane by those who do.
bravo, dada! Since I can make little or no sense of this contrived controversy, I'll let Richard Dawkins (bipedal ape) cover your back: "Religion is not harmless nonsense, it can be dangerously lethal nonsense. Millions of people have died and/or killed for loyalty of one religion against a scarcely distinguishable alternative." -- D.K.
No-one can call the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea the 'promised land' without religion.
I don't much care for the claims on both sides of 'terrorist' or 'defense'.
However, if I throw an egg at the neighbor's car, and he retaliates by blockading my driveway and shooting a gun at my dog and my kids, makes it impossible for me to get to work, and keeps shooting at me and mine...
Gets worse when my friend up the block steals a yard ornament, and won't give it back until he gets all his garden tools he's lost over the years (to a neighbor that's never tried to be neighborly...)
I salute you, ahmedinajed. This is a fight among (maybe distant) cousins. Anybody who supports Israel and calls everybody else "anti-semite" is a fool. Like the US, not every Israeli agrees with the warlike tendencies of their own government; the wrong leaders wreak havok where clear thinking would lead us all to peace and prosperity.
And there is no such thing as 'collateral damage'.
I pray for the whole round world...
meldonna,
Why in the world would you throw an egg at your crazy neighbors car?
