They suggested that Israel amped it up now because Bush and his buddies would support them. They also thought that Hamas was firing rockets so that they could remain relevant in the political realm. Whatever the various motivations, it is only serving the interests of politicians and not the people in the crossfire.<BR/><BR/>Until both sides acknowledge that they both have a right to live there with some security, I suspect the idiocy will continue. An eye for an eye leaving the whole world blind, as Gandhi said. It accomplishes nothing but death.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387724459535218089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-91000894406869390272009-01-07T16:55:00.000+00:002009-01-07T16:55:00.000+00:00I read once that folks who are in good shape are l...I read once that folks who are in good shape are less likely to survive in a cold situation. Us couch potatoes who never exercise get warm at the least exertion. Maybe the only advantage of a lazy lifestyle. Sorry about Dr. Zhivago. That would be torture.

We are ALL fallible, full of prejudice and imperfect. But we are all wonderful and valuable to, just as we are. But, humanity loves to think in terms of "us vs. them" and I don't think a bunch of idealistic pacifists like me will change that. Won't stop me from trying, though.Suna Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946484740596693009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-49566697115193290402009-01-07T15:28:00.000+00:002009-01-07T15:28:00.000+00:00I've never understood how soldiers killing each ot...I've never understood how soldiers killing each other (and civilians) could solve the world's problems. Which is probably why I became a diplomat, rather than a soldier.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-9160924941754790832009-01-07T13:50:00.000+00:002009-01-07T13:50:00.000+00:00It's interesting, and sad, how quickly insightful ...It's interesting, and sad, how quickly insightful and "noble" human beings can become reduced to their basest animal level in the quest for more; more land, more possessions, more money, more ANYTHING.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
