• While we're declaring war on factions, we're Launching attacks on Nations

  The US declared a War on Terrorism and then attacked two separate nations, and launched an ad campaign against several others. We called them evil and backward, we demonized them and made their citizens into victims many of them never claimed to be. While we claimed to save women and children we were blowing them into bits, and when that excuse stopped holding up we said we were protecting out own from insurgents. Insurgents who were born to that country, that died in that country, and many of which were concinced they were protecting their mothers, sisters and daughters.

  On Saturday Israel declared an all out war on Hamas. And then proceeded to pummel Gaza; it's citizens, it's schools, and it's Mosques. Aerial Bombs, in preparation for a ground assault. Because it was necessary, because they had to kill the bad guys, because they were defending themselves, because apparently it's okay to kill people if you happen to be aiming next door.

  Did we start this? Did the US make this happen? Not the conflict. That's been happening for decades, longer. The US had adopted a policy of baby sitting. We protect Israel whatever the cost, whatever the circumstances, and we keep holding on while they cling to us all the while claiming superiority, threatening violence on anyone who might look at them cross eyed.

  What is the hope of this new 'War'? There can't be a winner. And it seems as though everyone is dying, killing. The Middle East is a more perfect example than ever; Peace is never a result of War.
