"Rice had orders from President George W. Bush to oppose any immediate ceasefire, which was hardly the proper policy by the U.S. if it wanted to end the suffering among Israelis and Lebanese."

Goodness me, did they expect her to go to Israel and say "the USA demands that you stop defending yourselves" and even more remote, expect Israel to agree? This whole article is a bunch of BS. The Mideast has been a morass since the end of WWII and anyone who doesn't realize that is an idiot. Answers? I have none. I pray for peace but expect war. Someone needs to study History badly. Giving in to radical Muslim controlled countries ALWAYS results in further bloodshed. If I'm wrong please make me aware of any agreement they've honored concerning Israel.

Ignore what I wrote, I honestly didn't notice it was a Helen Thomas article. I wouldn't have bothered replying had I noticed. Arguing with a fool is a complete waste of time.
