Condi Rice, our mostly useless Secretary of State, is finally going to Israel (and Italy, I guess). She is not going to actually do anything as, parroting the Bush line, it is too early for a cease fire (I guess this means not enough children have been killed). No doubt there will be plenty of photo-ops. She says there is no point in a cease fire now as it would not solve the problem permanently (I guess the fact that it might save thousands of innocent lives is not important). I guess this also means she thinks there is a somehow a permanent solution to the problem once Hezbolla and Hamas (along with the Palestinians and Lebanese) are completely destroyed and Israel is given carte blanche to continue to occupy and steal the land and water of others. There will never be a permanent peace until people are willing to admit that Israel is the problem, not Hezbolla or Hamas. The Israeli lobby has done such a fine job Americans will probably never believe Israel is not Little Red Riding Hood being attacked by vicious savage wolves (with virtually no teeth). I pretty much believe this Israel/Palestinian problem, which is at the root of the Middle East situation, will never be solved, no matter what happens now in Palestine or Lebanon (or anywhere else, for that matter).
Bolton's temporary appointment to the UN apparently expires in January. So they are now beginning to get him appointed legitimately. They probably will. The Democrats have surrendered. Bolton has been every bit as disruptive as they wanted. So why not?
It is far too hot to blog or much of anything else. I hope things are better for you than they are here at Sandhill.

In my opinion Bush and his cronies doesn't want peace in Middle East. Gee glad to see anther person from the same area who thinks that Dubya isn't doing such a hot job.
