Dawn of the 21th Century

As George Bush sets in the east behind a young boy's head, the United States rises to greet the 21th Century. A little late is better than a lot late.

Much of the civilized world however, is holding its breath. They entered this century over eight years ago, and are not sure how long it will take America to even return to its position of the late 1990's.

As President Obama has already warned us, a lot is riding on all our shoulders now. Very well, all we need is the organizing of the movement. We won't have long to wait.

The Gaza Desecration

Israel's righetous hatered is the hallmark of its current flogging of Palestenian hospitals, schools, mosques, women and children. There's more of course, but these are the current images that rise and float like dead bodies on top of the confrontation. All this comes in "retaliation" for rockets launched by Hamas into Israel. The problem is that if Israel chooses military response to these attacks, that response will have to be largely absorbed by the innocent. That is what war became in the twentith century. The new century shows signs of war becoming the destruction of civilization. And even the "winning" nation finds that what it destroys in another country, it also desecrates in its own. This is Hitler's great lesson for the ages. The Jews certainly learned this lesson well and the current Jewish cruelty seem to reek of schendenfreude

This is Israel's only choice left when it refuses to negotiate with its enemies until they have agreed to the non-negotiable parts of its demands. Just like Condelezza Rice has discovered in Korea, Iran and other places, although her demands have been VERY selectively applied.

Israel has two main problems. One is that it's military and economic support comes from the United States and Israel is totally independent of how it might use those great gifts. Two, that it can "peacefully invade" Palestine simply by "not prohibiting" its "settlers" from simply taking Palestinian land. Then when confrontatons arise, the Israeli army comes in to "protect" its own people, thus forcing Palelstinians out of the area. Like a disease this conquest spreads until it becomes successful enough to eventually turn on itself.

Gaza

This new war is a last-minute run by Israel to shred even little hope the Palestinian people hadk, and to render its governments hopelessly weakened, as well as to "welcome" the new American administration with a few dead albatrosses to hang around their neck. Bush won't even try to interfere and will cover Israel's actions. Hitler's hate still burns bright.

The only real hope to save Israel from its path of destruction won't happen soon. That would require America to cut off its financial and military aid. Not with a stroke, but as part of a plan to help Israel slowly reintroduce itself to its neighbors. This could be done with careful negotiations by all nations interested in peace, and perhaps under direction and assistance from the UN.

What the Obama administration CAN begin doing is the last part mentioned above - to assistance and encourage Israel to begin to live as a part of the world. But nothing will ever help ANY nation that gets more than it loses from fighting wars. If the gain from war is great, and your enemies suffer horribly , AND the price is paid by someone else, then war can be a truly glorious thing.

And let's be very plain. No one is more guilty here than the Bush administration. They taunted Arafat and glorified Sharon back in their beginning. These actions perhaps forged the attacks of 9/11 as an attempt to get the world's attention and also led to the election of Hamas. The Bush people also presented the Palestiniens with the fait-acompli that nothing could be done to achieve "peace" unless the Palestinians agreed to let Israel continue their long-term invasions of Palestine, with one Jewish settlement after another.

Barack The Magic Negro

All I can say about the Republican Party's new song, "Barack the Magic Negro", is to ask them "What part of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries did you not understand ?"

The Grand Old Party has finally revealed that it is actually the Rip Van Winkle Party, still advocating those principles that made the world so enjoyable for property-owning people with money and white penises

It also has revealed a brief but penetrating glimpse into the character of Mike Huckabee in as much as the "writer" of the "song" was also the manager of Huckabee's presidential campaign. Come on Mike, we clearly were watching the wrong hand - what we DON'T see is what we really get, huh?

And let's face it, anyone who gets a kick out of paradies, AND who is over 18 years of age, has to be deficient is a great number of ways. But why stop with just Obama? Why not "Lieberman, the Magic Jew, a Democrat and a Republican too, a political hermaphrodite Our congressman from Israel." Or maybe "Hillalry the Magic Female who Straighted Out Even Bill, she can fix the whole wide world, and you can bet she will", or "Mitt the Magic Morman, Given to Guide Our Way, He knows what we need to do and he will make us do it", or "Kennedy - the Magic Catholics, Born to Rule the World, now Caroline will light the way and we will just need to follow ", even "George the Magic Texan, who Lost his Silver Spoon, Again, Again, and YET Again, and now He's Lost Ours Too!"?

Oh well, since today is my 18th birthday I guess I will have to go on to something more inspiring. Sigh.
