it sure would be interesting if...

in the past week, israel and lebanon have been at each others throats in full force. hezbollah continues to fire rockets into haifa. israeli warplanes continue to bomb lebanon. and while the rest of the world has demanded an immediate cease-fire to stop the bloodshed, the idiot who leads our country and his team of evil demonic spawn (aka the bush administration) have decided that it'd be better to let israel kill a few dozen more innocent lebanese civilians while it tries to disarm the hezbollah militia. doing so would prevent this kind of situation in the future! it's brilliant!

how many weapons are in existence at this moment? i mean, the united states has enough ammunition and nuclear power to destroy the entire earth a few hundred times over. so we let israel and lebanon duke it out for a week longer - which means hezbollah will lose more weapons. THERE'S A LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF THEM (most of which fell into the hands of militant groups because the united states supplied them with the armory to overthrow non-US friendly regimes - think Bin Laden, the Taliban, and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the late 70's). okay, maybe i'm just trying to throw that fact out there and the rockets are actually syrian or iranian made. either way - if people want weapons, they'll find a way to get them. it's just not feasible to police the middle east we would want to - we can't exactly wire-tap camels walking around the desert (that sort of shit only works here in America, the land of freedom and civil rights).

what impressed me most is how much media attention this crisis has received. don't get me wrong - it's a big deal when two armies start trying to blow each other up and innocent civilians are killed. there needs to be international intervention! (funny though to think of how many people are slaughtered every day in parts of africa and don't make the headlines) but i wonder if in the future, the fighting in israel and lebanon will draw our attention away from the war in iraq. i mean far more people died today in iraq because of suicide bombers.does that no longer captivate our attention? of course not... we're tired of it all. it sure would be interesting if in the next few weeks, media attention completely shifts to that aspect of the middle east and away from our operations in iraq. makes me wonder what karl rove is thinking right now. something fishy is going on....
