U.S., U.K., and Israel say 'No'...
...to a cease fire. That's a big 'YES' to violence and essentially a massacre. And we are responsible because we let it go on and on and on. 2008 is way too late. We need to put an end to this through protest and non-violent civil disobedience.
We vetoed a U.N. resolution for an immediate cease fire. And Bolton (a recess appointment) will probably be confirmed now?
Our House of Representatives nearly unanimously passed H.Res. 921 condemning the rocket attacks, condemning Iran and Syria (as if they were responsible) and explicitly supporting Israel's right to "self defense" against terrorism. Did everyone miss the fact that civilian deaths in Lebanon outnumber Israeli civilian deaths by ten to one? That Israel is destroying civilian targets like airports, bridges, water supplies, and power plants? Oh, and now they appear to be actually targetting U.N. monitors. They killed 4 today and the attack appears deliberate. I guess they don't want any witnesses. I hope Robert Fisk gets out OK.
And Condi and King George say they don't want a cease fire because it isn't a long term solution.
Remember back when Jake cut his finger? Yeah, looking back on that, I guess it was wrong of us to apply direct pressure to control the bleeding because the long term solution was stitches.
This is another one of those days when I'm ashamed to be an American.
