Well, honey, taking them as representatives od conservative thinking is like taking you and Hillary as representative of Dem thinking. Now if you really want to do that...... Dude, I am not your "honey". If you are looking for a man, I am sure there is a gay thread on SI or you could call the White House. JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH BUSH'S APPROACH? He intends to let the Israelis tear those terrorist punks a new ahole and give them a lesson they will NEVER forget. And teach the Lebanonese the cost of having an independent militia that can take them to war. The stupidity of that should be obvious without a practical demonstration, but apparently they're really slow learners. These guys are too swift. You've got to kill them before they realize they blew it. There is so much of that paragraph that's flawed I could be here all day. Let me just say........Lebanon was a fledgling democracy......notice the use of the past tense......those days are gone. In the first and only year of its existence, it was making progress but the roots of democracy are fragile ones; to whit, America's early years were not good ones. Lebanon was just raising an army. Its control of the country was tentative. In addition to being a militia and a social welfare org., Hezbollah is also a political entity. It was a member of Parliament. It represented the Shia, the largest religious group in Lebanon, in a country that has 17 religions. In its first year, the current gov't of Lebanon was not in a position to confront Hezbollah. It was all it could do to kick Syria out of Lebanon which it did. Now if Bush and Israel were do damned committed to democracy and peace in the ME, and the status of Hezbollah was a huge thorn in Israel's side why didn't Bush and Israel approach the Lebanese gov't and ask them if they could help in disarming Hezbollah? I've listened to the PM of Lebanon speak......he's a very reasonable guy. Instead, bully Israel declares war on Lebanon and commences to systematically destroy the country as Mr. Bush sticks his head in the sand pretending he doesn't know what's happening. In the process of tearing a new ahole for Hezbollah, the fledging democracy of Lebanon is all but destroyed and there are billions of dollars worth of destruction. In the meantime, Hezbollah is stronger than ever. Stupid is as stupid does!
