You know it's interesting that everyone wonders why many middle easterers dislike us when all we want is their freakin oil. I mean imagine you meet someone, and all they want is something you got, they don't give a crap about the person [which is clear the way those we deal with there treat their populations], just as long as we get our greedy little hands on oil. Also, off the top of my head [I know this may be unpopular] it is also interesting that 'our interests' are what drive all our foreign policy except in Israel, where suddenly 'what's right' matters. I mean really, 'what's right' never mattered in Chile, Iran, Iraq, and any number of other situations. Of course this is being kind to Israel, assuming that they are 'right'... whatever that means in this case. Probably drag on for hundreds of years, I shouldn't get excited I suppose. DAK
