Word from Within

Violent struggle makes less sense than peaceful protests, but is a lot more effective. Shows where our values have gone.

Regret, Remembrance, Rebuild

So we've all probably heard of Iran's President offering the US an invite to a live televised debate to discuss matters of national security. Will this offer be accepted? Probably not. Does it matter? Probably not. The only thing worse than having Iran launch a missile and having Israel use there destructive war planes for a "Tehran re-allignment", is Israel launching a pre-emptive strike with their own nukes. They will be heralded for being brave and going against the world's opinion taking a chance to save themselves. The bottom line is, Israel doesn't need saving, it needs to be educated, and the regime replaced.

Kofi Annan blasted Israel recently about hammering Lebanon in the last days before the truce took affect. They hit Beirut and Baalbeck with mortar rounds which have yet to explode and are waiting for the returning Lebanese. Israel has failed to provide information on their whereabouts. But are they chastised for it? It seems a country like Iran can have sanctions imposed on it for potentially making nuclear weapons, but a country like Israel who uses it weapons on civilians, is given carte blanche. It really does matter what the name of the terrorist state is. Just look at Iraq, the country had no weapons but was blown to bits. So I'm glad Iran's got at least some firepower, but has held off using it and even offered a grounds for peaceful debate. Did the US offer Iraq this option? A country who never killed a single US citizens? What these Middle Eastern countries have to do now is reform the Arab League and give priority to countries that aren't eating at the tables of the US. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, these are the countries we should watch out for, they've sold out too many times, and have bought other Arabs/Muslims, even in their own countries, to a state of depression. Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq should lead this coalition. Right now they should put aside their Shia-Sunni rivalry, which has been successfully exploited by every power hungry foreign country. This is a difference we have to work out within our own communities, not for a lunatic mediator from the West to contort, and dictate terms to us.
