I wonder why you people are whining so? You, the rest of the morons in America, in Israel, as well as the idiots in Europe, and the Arab and Muslim world get the governments you so richly deserve. You people elect corrupt madmen, sociopaths, pyschopaths, lunatics, crazed rightwing fanatics who think a never ending state of war with an endless body count is an excellent idea. People in the United States thought that electing a moron like George W Bush was “Cute” because he was not some intellectual liberal elitist sipping lautte from Starbucks running around. You had not a care in the world that this guy couldn’t tie his own shoe laces without a written set of instructions in front of him. And now you wish to whine about it? Get real! Sept 11 was America’s own making and frankly, when you are hit again and rest assured with the invasion of Iraq, you will be, I can simply sit back and watch the carnage from afar, laughing all the way to the bank…………….of dead souls.

Perhaps we’ve been following the wrong tack here, maybe we should all start applauding these Heehaw Samurai with vigor and urge them to ever greater degrees of Bolsheveki fisticuffs and then their kneejerk defiance might vaporlock, causing them to raise a fist for peace. We’re way off into counterintuitive territory here gentlemen, the insaner the better.The Marqui de Sade was but a piker.

I seem to recall that one of our earlier agreements with Israel was that they could not use our cluster munitions in agressive actions against other nations.Then again, I suppose that was an earlier agreement, tainted with the cloying scent of charming anachronism.

Silly me, I must have missed that College Republican Memo that added “homicidal maniac” to the list of definitions of a Conservative.

It is not surprising that the government gives itself sovereign immunity, insuring that its own crimes will almost never be prosecuted.

What continues to surprise me is how almost all of the designated “public intellectuals” and editorial writers give government “moral immunity” - permitting it to kill civilians with impunity.

Part of this is the result of anti-Arab or anti-Muslim sentiment. But the vast majority of such commentators also did not give a damn when the Clinton administration slaughtered Serb civilians in Belgrade and elsewhere.

Amazing how much hypocrisy the US government gets away with - and how few Americans seem to notice or care.

I.e., U.S. government officials are never guilty of war crimes.

This is especially true in the Bush adminsitration. The John Yoo memo from August 2002 made it clear that this administration believes the president is exempt from any liability or accountability for war crimes.

What we Lebanese need to keep in mind is that the majority of us support the side we support becasue we believe in their stand, not because we dislke the others
