What's the worse thing that can happen in a cease fire? Civilians stop getting killed?
IDF and Hezbollah can duke it out till they destroy each other. It is the civilians caught in the middle and those caught in the middle will damn sure become what each other hates as long as their families, friends and homes continue to be destroyed.

6. The * Administration will Not Ever give in ...

However, I've heard of "second thoughts" being emanated by the UK. Or at least seemingly a rift between the Ambassador and Blair. Let's hope Britain can pull some magic to talk some humanitarian sense into Israel. But it would be a waste of time talking with Rice. :(

11. It makes me pause and I'm against the action in Lebanon. The ENTIRE WORLD

is for a cease fire except 3 countries. That's pretty fucking incredible.

5. It gives me hope in humanity

I'm NOT going crazy, normal people DO want peace.

7. Ha I misread your post as something like:

I'm NOT going. Crazy, normal people DO want peace.

Kinda makes me wonder if I AM going crazy. :)

18. Punctuation is your friend

Ever read "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves"?

[blonndee]

21. No, but it sounds funny.

I get the potential double-meaning w/the comma where it's at.

8. Why is it always the bush and blair show?

:banghead:

[butterfly77]

10. Because they are in charge of the whole world..

and they know whats best for everyone:sarcasm:

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. HA! Yep, those chickenhawk chickenshit warriors! Lucky us!

:sarcasm:

[femrap]

16. I am quite sure that w and blair are doing

the work of others....there is a group of extremely wealthy families that are calling the shots....bush and blair are just taking orders. PNAC is part of it but I think there are others who control central banking institutions that are and have been controlling much of our history and current events.

23. BFEE and Blair is just along for the fame and fortune it will ultimately

bring him, ie the Carlyle Group through Poppy Bush. Yep!

Thank you for posting this, it will come in very handy I have NO doubt.

[rubberducky]

15. Kinda` shows ya who our "coalition" is.

Does Bush ever lose sleep over all the embryoes that are dying in ME?:sarcasm: I would bet when Blair leaves there will only be 2 flags on your chart.

[Nutmegger]

17. Yay! We're all in good company folks.

It's always B & B.

19. Which Arab countries support HizbAllah? Which Don't???

With the battle between Israel and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah raging, key Arab governments have taken the rare step of blaming Hezbollah, underscoring in part their growing fear of influence by the group’s main sponsor, Iran.

Saudi Arabia, with Jordan, Egypt and several Persian Gulf states, chastised Hezbollah for “unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible acts” at an emergency Arab League summit meeting in Cairo on Saturday.

The Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, said of Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel, “These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them.” Prince Faisal spoke at the closed-door meeting but his words were reported to journalists by other delegates.

The meeting ended with participants asserting that the Middle East peace process had failed and requesting help from the United Nations Security Council.

20. Lots of countries who aren't getting rockets shot at them....

...and seeing their population live in fear of fundamentalist maniacs with bombs strapped to their chest. Or lots of Muslim countries that don't much care for the continuing existence of Israel.

Surprise, surprise.

[Chulanowa]

25. And three countries

who want nothing more to ensure that such actions continue.

It's good for the polls.

[grannylib]

22. OMG....that is just unfuckingbelieveable...but it's SO believeable

because this unelected imbecile and his sorry=assed misadministration LOVE WAR AND DEATH.
That's the only conclusion I can reach.

24. An obscene and self-defeating policy of collective punishment.

Even the Brits are starting to gnaw at the leash held by BushCo.

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,1826904,00.html

Britain has dramatically broken ranks with George Bush over the Lebanon crisis, publicly criticising Israel's military tactics and urging the Americans to 'understand' the price being paid by ordinary Lebanese civilians.

The remarks, made in Beirut today by the Foreign Office Minister, Kim Howells, were the first public criticism of the US voiced by Britain. The Observer can also reveal that Tony Blair urged restraint in a private telephone convseration with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, last week.

<snip>

Speaking to a BBC reporter before travelling on for talks in Israel, where he will also visit missile-hit areas of Haifa and meet his Israeli opposite-number, Howell said: 'The destruction of the infrastructure, the death of so many children and so many people. These have not been surgical strikes. If they are chasing Hizbollah, then go for Hizbollah. You don't go for the entire Lebanese nation.'

He added: 'I very much hope that the Americans understand what's happening to Lebanon.' Only hours earlier, President Bush used his weekly radio address to place the blame for the crisis squarely on Hizbollah and their Syrian and Iranian backers.
