Does it seem to anyone else that President Bush is tacitly endorsing Israel's attacks on Lebanon? I almost think Bush hopes this will escalate to the battle of Armageddon; I'm sure he'd just love to have the distrinction of being the last President before the Second Coming. I just read a news article headlined "Bush rejects Lebanese call for cease fire." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060714/ap_on_re_eu/g8_bush_8
(Excuse me for a moment while I go scream...)
Okay, I suggested a solution to the Isreali-Palestinian conflict years ago, in a paper I wrote for a highschool English class. The steps they need to take are as follows:
1. Give Palestinians equal rights, including the right to move freely through the country without fences or roadblocks.
2. Change the flag to not include religious imagery.
3. Change the nation's name to something that doesn't make the Palestinians feel excluded. I suggest combining the old name (Palestine) and the new name (Israel) in such a way as to give neither a clear preference: Piaslreasetline.
4. Build a Jewish temple inside the Dome of the Rock, allow both groups to worship there freely.
5. If all this fails, move everyone out of the country and declare it one big archaeological site off-limits to the public.

It is amazing how history unfolds. Because of our (the United States) belief in Zionism and the role of Israel in our countries predominant religious beliefs, we have, in effect, given Israel a "blank check" to use as they want in bullying their neighbors (or, in the case of the Palestinians, their 'home-sharers'). Israel fears no other country or group because they know that no matter what they do or no matter how aggressive they are toward other countries, America will never give as much as a warning to Israel to "play nice." President Bush's tacit approval of Israel's military force against Lebanon is yet another example of America playing favorites in the mideast with Israel.
