New York Diary Online
Sent by a friend.
Read it if you will, a first-hand account of the over-actions of a nation-state created without regard to nation or state. We are all to blame in this.

Too High a Price
I have to weigh in on this middle-east conflict. Yes, the region has been in a chronic state of flux and or violence since the unwanted births of the modern nation-states that now reside their, none more controversial than Isreal. Studying global history and later foriegn policy and politics as an undergrad, I became aware of a feeling that Isreal, despite its issues and its problems, acts more like the bastard, red-headed step-child of the bully parents the US and UK. Spoiled with weapons and money, propped up with propaganda and hardliners, this nation that would'nt be has taken its sovereignty and rights to the extreme. No, Isreal, you cannot do what you want when you want. No Isreal, you cannot Talk loudly and Carry nuclear weapons. Back off and realize that the last 50+ years of your young life, a life marred by abuse, violence, and terror, cannot ever be change with bombs and blasts. I wish the US would tug harder on its leash and make Isreal sit down and cool its jets. We gave you life and can either help you keep it or watch it dirft away. In the words of Bill Cosby, 'I brought you into this world and I'll take you out'.

CNN.com - Edwards and Spratt call on DCCC to pull down web video - Jul 14, 2006
Apparently fellow Dems don't want to face reality either. You can baby babies all you want, but when people are dying and the facts are ignored and nothing is being discussed or initiated or even over-sought, babies need to grow up fast. So, GROW UP and face the music!
