God have mercy on President Bush. What has gotten into this man's head?
That really is a nauseating thought.
It's important that the US be seen as providing leadership and empowering the moderate forces in the region. It is how progress is made, or at least how total disaster can be avoided.
This is a satire right ....
Please, someone tell me it is a joke
Please, anyone .....
I've rejected religion as mere superstition, yet the Jews are admirable in my eyes for their self-sufficiency, resilience and a history of honest struggle against forces who mean them harm for what they believe more than for what they do.
Bush has lost a great deal of my respect and I believe that this is one time in my life when I can genuinely say that I have chosen the lesser of two evils.
If the Palestinians are allowed to dictate the terms of a supposed peace once again, I must believe also that the peace will only come when the region is silenced for a lack of living voices.
Abbas, in association with Arafat, was the primary planner and financier of the massacre of the Israeli team at the 1972 Olympics, the event which launched the modern era of international terror.
"You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists." -President George W. Bush
I am absolutely discusted. Words fail me...
Bush can bypass St. Dept. "policy" if he so chooses.
Alas, he doesn't.
Those awful jews...hampering peacemaking by not allowing themselves to be blown up.
But Bush said he was a "heck of a lot more confident" of peace prospects than when he first took office five years ago.
I'm not. You have to wonder what planet bush lives on. Judging from his stupid proclamations, he seems to be living some alternate reality. This s#!t coming from a repub president is unbelievable. Ranks right up there with his delusions on border security.
ffs...Bush is lost. It started happening way before Meirs was even a thought... :(
We all know that Mr. Bush is an opponent of fences and barriers to the movement of undocumented individuals across recognized international borders. Maybe he wants Israel to adopt a "catch and release" policy.
And since the Wall doesn't hamper peacemaking, no problem.
Israel must choose a defensible border, and seal it. There is no other workable peace plan. Any other "roadmap" merely delays the solution, and guarantees the deaths of more innocent Israelis and more young deluded arabs.
Where precisely Israel places the border is for Israel to decide, based purely on her strategic realities; this is the line she must be prepared to go to war for. Any arabs living inside the line must be offered the option of compensation and relocation to the far side of the line; any arab within the line who gives aid or sympathy to the baddies must be expelled without compensation.
Any Israelis living outside the line must be compensated and relocated to the safe side.
And then you seal it. No one enters Israel by land. Any arabs having business in Israel must enter by commercial airline. The arab regions not claimed by Israel will be cut off from markets and employment in Israel, and will have no choice but to seek union with Jordan and Egypt. This is inevitable, and is as it should be.
Any land used as a staging area for attacks across the line must be seized, cleared, and incorporated permanently into Israel proper.
Any negotiations should be conducted between Israel and Jordan for the arab West Bank, and with Egypt for Gaza. No other country or agency has any standing in the matter. The so-called Palestinian Administration should not be consulted on anything; they are a regional government that should eventually be subsumed into the Jordanian and Egyptian governments. You don't negotiate international agreements with mayors and county supervisors.
I find it to be extremely interesting that it has proven to be necessary to start building walls around cities and states in the middle east again. Walled cities were the norm for centuries. I guess this is another example of arabs dragging people back to the middle ages with them.</P>
It isn't just the state department, it's men in general. Men who have as much regard for God as they do for Israelis. And when men detest God, that sort of behavior is expected - moral relativism and hypocrisy. They'll go into Israel and blow up children and when Israel responds, it is Israel now who is the aggressor. This makes sense to the unwashed heathen. It is absurd and evil in the site of the just. That's just the way it is. And it isn't gonna get any better.
