Sunday evening musings..

[curmugeon]

Reading about Powell's appearance on TV and his implied threats against Syria. I hate to say it but is the foreign policy of this country become one and the same as Israel? We seem to be doing this whole exercise to insure the survival of Israel, and not as claimed, as a war on terrorism. I figure if Syria doesn't comply, we will first cripple it with economic sanctions, then after that, if still defiant under the b;blackmail of Bush, we will invade and install a government friendly to Israel. They have already written legislation to punish Syria, and the Patriot Act has other measures we can use to bring them to their knees. Don't label me as Anti-Semitic, as I have many Jewish friends, although I am somewhat amazed how much of their lives and wealth center around support of the Israeli government. I'm just amazed how many of them do not believe the Palestinians have a right to exist. They, at times, are as fanatical as Muslim Fundamentalists. Could this be because they all descended from the House of Abraham?
