I don't think your President could have made it any clearer which side he is backing.<BR/><BR/>And what does "angering" the Arab Governments have to do with the price of eggs in China? Unlike the terrorist organizations Saudi Arabia and her sister governments are guided by self-interest not emotion. If you're on the winning side you will have them as allies.<BR/><BR/>And if you're on the losing side it doesn't make a hell of a lot of difference how they feel about you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1153668867350056612006-07-23T11:34:00.000-04:002006-07-23T11:34:00.000-04:00More like driving around without a map at all to m...More like driving around without a map at all to me. <BR/><BR/>I'd so rather see us do nothing than the kinds of things we've done the past five plus years.Jeff Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146644937683409726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1153668180457079932006-07-23T11:23:00.000-04:002006-07-23T11:23:00.000-04:00Didn't Israel already get a large shipment of bunk...Didn't Israel already get a large shipment of bunker busters?

What boggles my mind even more is the fact that Americans (the majority of them including media) will not and cannot counter any of their gov'ts actions. Regardless of your side of the issue, I think this is blatantly wrong. Morally wrong. Even Israelis question the use of all this warfare against Hezbollah to be effective. Do you think that this is an intended indirect provocation that is supposed to draw Iran out into the open so as to have the perfect excuse for going to war? Do you think that this whole orchestration of 'we'll provoke them they'll no doubt bite, and then we attack, give it a few days, Hezbollah will response and then we can go to war in Lebanon..' what do you think? I am getting more and more concerned about the bigger picture, of which this whole conflict is just a small part of. It really bothers me to no end..but then, I shouldn't. At least I won't have to worry about any precision bombing (and we all know how effective that can be)..<BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.com
