Give Peace a Chance

July 13th, 2006

Steve King, a House representative from New York, has compared illegal immigrants to livestock in saying that we should build an electric fence to corral them like we would cows. Isn’t that darling?

Israel is ordering more strikes against Lebanon, and what might be called a War is going on there. Israel is upset that two soldiers were kidnapped, so it is ripping Lebanon apart. I’m all for Israel’s right to exist, but it’s time for someone to tell Israel that they don’t have a right to attack any country they like whenever anyone from said country does something wrong. Ultimately, Israel is, in taking actions such as these, perpetuating perpetual war. The time to bleed and kill is past, and it’s time for someone to recognize this.

Can’t we give peace a chance in Israel? Can’t the President give peace a chance by trying for it? Can’t Israel, and Lebanon, and everyone? I’ve said a lot on the subject of Israel and Palestine, and so I’ll leave it at this for now.

Howard Dean and Rahm Emmanuel are fighting amongst themselves. I have sent the DNC a message requesting that they respectfully knock it off, because we have a genuine chance to take genuine power and make genuine changes and deliver genuine good. I’ll bet I get an arbitrary, ready-made response.
