I trust Israel about as far as I can throw Israel. Probably about as much as I trust any of those people over there fighting and defending their "Holy" land. I agree with George Carlen. It's like they're all fighting over who has the better imaginary friend.

Mainly, however, it's because I don't trust the leadership of Israel. Aerial Sharon has a lot of things in common with Saddam Hussein. Although, we're still not sure if Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.

We know Aerial does.

To wage peaceful tomorrows means to stop "Holy Wars" over supposed "Holy" lands.

And as true to the great policing American tradition we actually continue to screw ourselves into the ground by pissing others off for our own gain. What are we so afraid of? Could it really be peace?

I mean, in the early nineteen fifties, we (America) thought it would be a great idea to overthrow the democratically elected Muhammad Mosaddeq government in Iran and replace him with The Shah. The Shah was so brutal towards his own people that he literally killed off moderate opposition, so when people were so fed up with him, they couldn't stand him any more, all they had left to turn to was not so moderate opposition like the former Iatolla of Iran who spent many years in exile in Paris, and Islamic fundamentalists.

When that came in the growth of violent Islamic fundamentalism mushroomed all over that part of the world. I wonder how much trouble we would be facing from that part of the globe today if we would have left the people of Iran alone in the nineteen fifties.

Either we're incredibly stupid, or we seriously
corrupt.

Stomping around on "Holy" land isn't going to create peace. Bombing people hasn't created peace, and it will not. Our southern fried president saying that he's going to risk breaking U.N. laws by saying he is going to rush into Baghdad alone (if he has to), and thus, turning America into a rogue nation that might stir up a big enough fire to start world war three against America and possibly Israel. That definitely is not going to create peace. Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, and basically the abolishment of Amendment number four isn't going to create peace.

The media has us thinking everyone's on the net, and they never get off!! A lot of people do not support the war against Iraq, but the media has us convinced that we're doing nothing about it. Check out the alternative media or even the San Francisco Bay Guardian. There are people out almost every day fighting for their human rights. If not here, in other parts of the world. And if the media does show us a glimpse of the activism and demonstrating they view it as violent and riot filled.

I believe one of the main reasons why we're not in a full fledged war yet is because there's so much public pressure explaining why it's insane to get into a battle with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that the U.N. inspectors have to keep going back to look for, but can't find.

I mean, is Saddam playing that game I think most of us used to play as kids?

"You're getting warmer... Oh, you're burning up!!

Aww.. colder!! Colder!!!"
