How Incredibly Stupid! Can one believe the lead article in the NY Times? U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis By DAVID S. CLOUD and HELENE COOPER The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which some military officers see as a sign of a longer campaign ahead. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/22/world/middleeast/22military.html?th&emc=th And we are whacking away at Iran for supplying missiles to Hezbollah? Yup. We are the 'good' guys and they are "evil" for doing exactly the same thing we are -- supplying arms to combatants rather than calming things down? Let's face up here. Had Bush spent a little less time vacationing in Crawford at critical moments and more working towards peace in the Middle East rather than letting the crazies persuade him to play frat boy executive officer to Cheney's and Rumsfeld's CEO, Commanding Officer, or however you want to characterize the string pullers for our puppet president . . . . The tragic thing here is the loss of lives that these "crazies" (Bush I team's label for the neocons) have engendered. I for one am deeply embarrassed to be an American led by such fools. The Times has another article that sums it all up: Across the Middle East, Sermons Critical of the U.S. By NEIL MacFARQUHAR At Friday Prayers, sermons underscored the David-versus-Goliath glamour many Arabs associate with Hezbollah. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/22/world/middleeast/22arabs.html?th&emc=th Final Score: Hezbollah - 1; Bush - 0 Our only hope is that the Shia Hezbollah guys are reputed to hate the Sunni Al Qaedas and vice versa. Let's hope they have some stupids on their team, too. Then, perhaps, we can take on a mediating role? -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
