Topic: State Of The World
What do you call a nation that says that it doesn't deliberately target civilians but manages to kill vastly more civilians than the group that it has labelled as "terrorist?" Israel is by its own definition, a terrorist nation. Maybe that label isn't strong enough. What should we call Israel being that it has managed to kill 4 times as many civilians than Hezbollah and the Palestinians put together? So, they don't target civilians?! They still kill them very well, especially children. What do you label a country that has some of the most sophisticated weaponry the world has ever known and yet still manages to kill countless Palestinian and Lebanese children? The extremists call that "collateral damage," the good people of the world call that crazy.
Maybe all Muslims are terrorists, as the apologist evangelicals and irrational right seem to believe. That must be it. That 1-day old child who wasn't even alive long enough to be given a name was just going to become a terrorist anyway. The Israelis were justified in murdering her and countless other children just like her.
Do you want to know what the outcome of all this ruthless violence and iniquity will lead? Just follow the extremist's line of reasoning to its logical finality. Their road will lead us all to complete and utter annihiliation if we allow them to. But that is exactly what our government is advocating in the name of peace and just what Israel and Hezbollah are hurriedly carrying out. This is the essence of what President Bush, Prime Minister Olmert and Secretary General Nasrallah are advocating. All of them truly believe that they can attain a lasting peace through the destruction of the other. The truth is that they're all perfectly insane, as is anyone who believes this garbage. Their rationale is the definition of psychosis. The depraved madness of these men are not only evident in their rhetoric and their actions but also in their unwillingness to see that their acts are only successful in strengthening the insanity and resolve of their perceived enemy.
