Cease fire?

So when is a cease fire not a cease fire? Why, in Lebanon of course. In spite of the cease fire agreement Israel does not give up their right to respond to Hezbollah attacks. Hezbolla announces they will not stop attacking until all Israeli troops are out of Lebanon. As it will take at least ten days to two weeks to establish a joint UN/Lebanon force in southern Lebanon the hostilities will continue. Wonderful. Israel is trying desperately to claim some kind of victory in Lebanon while Hezbollah is claiming to have completely stymied the IDF. I don't think this bodes well for peace in the Middle East. But what do I know? I have said from the very beginning that George W. Bush is borderline retarded. While Cheney and Rumsfeld, and probably Rice as well may not be they clearly inhabit some planet other than earth. It can't be they don't know they screwed up big time, they just can't bring themselves to admit it. As a result Bush, too, cannot admit a mistake. So there we have it. Chaos. Disaster. Hopelessness. War crimes. The total catastrophe.

Can you believe there are still people claiming to run as Republicans? If I were a Republican at the moment I would be ashamed to show my face in public. But don't forget that half of the population scores under 100 on the I.Q. scales. The 33% that continue to suport Bush/Cheney have to be at the lower end of that part of the scale. I think there is nothing we can do about that.

Just remember that Israel is always right. Arabs are always wrong. Hezbollah and Lebanon, to say nothing of the Palestinians, have no complaints worthy of consideration. Iran and Syria have no right to provide arms to Hezbollah or Palestinians. The U.S. has every right to arm Israel to the teeth. How or why should it be otherwise? Once we straighten out Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, North Korea, China, Russia, Nigeria, the Congo, Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil and Cuba everything will just be hunky-dory. I forgot, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and all the 'stans need our guidance too, to say nothing of Canada and Mexico. I guess we'll be busy for a while. But not to worry, Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld?Rice are in charge.
