One thing gets heeped on another today. I actually thought yesterday that Bush's seeming inaction was a good thing and was giving Sharon the go-ahead. When I saw the american polls showing strong american support for Israel last night, I felt even better. But the speech this morning and now this UN crap totally does me in. Perception is everything to the regular citizen in every country. They don't know strategy and behind the scenes and now all they see is the american double standard regarding terrorism. We no longer have any moral standing in the world and we have publicly left Israel out in the cold. The blood of the next victims of suicide bombings will be on Bush's head. Not Hezbollah, not Hamas or Al-Aqsa but George W Bush.
Gee, I wonder what would happen if the EU imposed sanctions on Israel.
Guess no one here thought of that, huh? Bush probably did.
Bush took an opportunity to make the best of a bad situation. The IDF has seriously damaged, perhaps destroyed much of the infrastructure of the Palestinian terror network. They have hundreds of militants in custody, and they have gleaned enough information as to how this bloody system operates. No reason for them to hang around Indian Country anymore, especially now that there can be a serious price to be paid for staying.
