Yes lorne, it tells me that if you took the time to read and understand his articles, your question to me would have been unnecessary, although given what I had already posted, the question was rhetorical at best.

Believe what you will lorne, I have no intention of trying to change your mind on this or any subject, although hopefully we agree that we are both entitled to our opinions.


"US giving aid - and bombs
By Thalif Deen

NEW YORK - As Israel's bombing of Lebanon continues unabated into its fourth consecutive week, the United States says it stands ready to provide food, medicine and humanitarian assistance to the thousands of internally displaced Lebanese caught in the crossfire.

But Washington has also decided to accelerate the supply of lethal weapons to Israel - "perhaps intended to kill the very Lebanese the United States is planning to feed and shelter", said one Arab diplomat at the United Nations.

"It is US hypocrisy at its worst," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because his country receives millions of dollars in US economic aid. "The right hand obviously does not know what its left hand is up to. Or does it?"

The answer is for the US to fix it's dependance on oil from Arabic countries. Israel must be armed so that any attack becomes suicide, and encouraged to return whatever land belongs to Lebanon, and whatever prisoners are eligible for release, and then by UN decree allowed to freely retaliate for any attack coming from Lebanese soil.
