While many Americans sit in their air conditioned homes eating ice cream and watching reality shows the fruits of their votes and taxpayer dollars are presently being dropped on innocent civlilians in the Middle East by a terrorist nation bent on the destruction of a civilization.  The right wing extremists on both sides of this conflict continue to add support to their causes by instigating acts of violence by the other side in what seems like a never ending cycle whereby moderates become increasingly radicalized by the actions of the other.  The propagandizing of the U.S. government with their mouth piece Tony Snow, have assured us through the complicit media that they are not involved in this conflict.  As many of us already know, when the Bush administration speaks the converse is almost always true.  The U.S. is not only providing political support for the war crimes being perpetrated by Israel but they are also providing logistics, equipment, intelligence and funding to the Israeli terrorist state.

What President Bush has failed to realize is that his failure to act for peaceful purposes will be just another example of what will surely come to be characterized as a legacy of being the most destabilizing force our country has ever known. 

 The only way to understand what is truly taking place is to view what people in nations in that area of the world are seeing and how it shapes their perspective.  To do this you must turn to sources of information that are without profit motivation and not influenced through political arm twisting.  Democracy NOW! with Amy Goodman and Mosaic,  programs both found on LinkTV, a network that is contributor sponsored and without undue influence, is a great source of unadulterated information.  To view some much needed "history, perspective and context" of what is presently taking place in the Middle East click HERE.  To view the killing and destruction as people in the region see it, click HERE.
