Exactly! Everybody's talking about who to blame, and meanwhile A: tragedy upon tragedy is being enacted by all these missiles and bombs; and B: terrorists,bombs and missiles merely create more terrorists, bombs and more missiles, rinse, cycle and retreat. No land will be conquered. No peace will be won out of the sand. The more Israel deploys aerial bombing against civilian centers the more they become isolated from public opinion. The more Israel isolates itself from world opinion, the more they isolate the US, which in the eyes of the world is attached at the hip to Israel, and which, by its reckless fiscal policies has placed itself at the mercy of the court of world opinion (and their banks), and may very likely be forced themselves to repudiate Israel, to one degree or other. It was not incidental to people outside the US to note that the US not only did not encourage cease-fire talks before things got too irreparably bloody, but actually heightened the resupply schedule of bombs and missiles. To Israel. While making noises about bombing Iran and Syria. This sends a very specific message to all the other powers in the world, including all the people we owe trillions of dollars to. And a lot of them have nukes, too. Blunder upon blunder upon blunder is being committed daily, by all concerned, and we should all take a deep breath and pray to whoever we believe in that we're not watching a slow-motion opening of a bouquet of mushroom clouds.
