The Politics of Current Affairs

Jul 31, 2006 01:11

I havent updated in awhile but I figured now is a good time too. Given all that is going on in the world I feel I can enlighten some people on it.

As you may have seen the Israelis have gone after Lebanon and Hezbollah. While I think they were justified in attacking south lebanon and south beirut I have a tough time understanding the logic in attacking the rest of the country. The Sunnis and Christians in Lebanon despise Hezbollah so why attack their cities? Stupid strategy. I know the Israelis bombed and killed a ton of civilians there a couple of days ago. While its ashame that so many civilians had to be killed it also tells you where Hezbollah is hiding. their is reconnaisance footage of Hezbollah firing rockets into israel and driving into the house that these people were in. the israelis didnt kno that the people were there. they saw a truck go in there and they made a strategic decision. and a bunch of children died. thats their mindset. theyll sacrifice children to the slaughter to further their cause.

i think the Israelis should have planned it out better. but i have no sympathy for the lebanese or palestinians in these matters. and its not because im half jewish. its because im american and in the end we get blamed for it. i see no reason why the united states should help the palestinians get a state. why help people who celebrated when 3,000 of our innocent civilians died on 9-11? fuck helping them. they celebrate when we die yet they want us to help them get a state and tell the israelis to back off. while i think israel is setting up its own doom with these moves i dont think the united states is obligated to anyone in the arab or muslim world minus iraq because of that brilliant fucking idea to invade them.

as for iraq. whether morons in this country know it or not, if we leave there too early we will end up back there one day. you have my word on that. if we let crazy shiites come to power there or let a civil war go off we will be back there. and we will all forget we (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) wanted to leave there and not the politicians. i dont like bush but the man has it right. we cant leave there early. if we do, its OUR children who will end up back there.

as for iran, their president is a nutjob yes. and they want nukes yes. but you never have to worry about people who underestimate the power of America. (Bin laden and Hitler). history shows they are the ones to bite the dust.

the sad thing about iraq is this: the rest of the world is moving forward. China, india, Russia, Europe, even Latin American countries are improving the lives of their average citizen. our economy is doing well. we unfortuantely decided to get ourselves involved in the only part of the globe that is still stuck in economic impotence. thats the real anger behind the arab and muslim world. its looking at the future and seeing that the United States, China, India, and Europe (Russia included) are all going to become powerful and intricately tied to one another for the better. and they hate it. right now their hate is focused at the west but if we areever passed by China and India it will be them.
