let's go hunting WABBITS!

I'm rather surprised I had to go to source for this: gung-ho talk about Syria (search for "Syria") specifically the same charges that are being trotted out all over, viz. WMD programs and sheltering terrorists. Whoopee. All I can say is I'm looking forward to seeing yet another pointless war that leaves the US sufficiently overstretched that, heck, Jim Bob's Two-Bit Terrorist Agency can waltz into 1600 Penn. and have tea with Barb.

The other choice news item this morning is the US' veto of a draft UNSC resolution forbidding Israel from removing Yasser Arafat. You will note it starts out by referencing no less than 7 resolutions which Israel is already disregarding. There are four items on the resolution: stop the violence (undirected, or, directed at both sides of the argument), don't touch Arafat (directed at Israel), and two more-or-less pointless statements that the UNSC supports the ongoing peace efforts and remains "seized of the matter" which I take to mean that they're maintaining an interest. The US' stated reason for vetoing this resolution is that it doesn't condemn terror. What the hell has that got to do with forbidding one nation from attempting to remove the head of another nation?

Yeah, and the PA and Hamas aren't "disregarding" the Oslo Peace Accords, they're just acting out their frustration!

I'm looking forward to the day you get out of your comfortable intellectualizing existence and see how the world really works.

Man, I love these Anonymous posts. It shows such strong belief in your own opinions that you won't put your name to them.

I don't see how your comment addresses anything other than a s(n)ide note in what I said. And the reason I draw attention to the disregarded UNSC resolutions is, well, wasn't violation of UNSC resolutions one of the myriad stated reasons for going into Iraq?
