go home!

Condi Rice is not going to eat any humble pie, she is not going to acknowledge that American diplomacy in the Middle East under the Bush Administration has been an oxymoran and she is not going to actually listen to anything said to her by any of the Arab countries in the region. This administration dictates its reality, but it has never taken notes and it has never reacted to anything that fell outside of its narrow view of the world.

So Condi is out there right now trying to convince a bunch of Egyptians, Saudis and Jordanians to go to Syria and tell Syria that we're ok. Meanwhile we're sending precision bombs to Israel that will, in the next week, be dropped on Lebanon where they will undoubtedly mingle the blood of the guilty with the blood of the innocent in a rubble and dust stew. The Egyptians haven't bothered to send anybody of significance to listen to Condi pull her Colin and what amazes me is she's doing it like she's the angry third grade teacher in a classroom of misfits but we're the ones trying to get a note passed around in the class.

How do so many Americans feel safer with this group of morons representing them?

How can an Arabic country even want to speak for us to Syria with any degree of belief when we've clearly signalled that we're ok with a what? Couple hundred, couple thousand, how many thousand dead Lebanese civilians? Imagine you got a little leaflet that floated from heaven that said, "yeah, you should probably leave, your house is going to be gone sometime in the next week? Take your valuables and wander in the desert." Those are the lucky ones of Tyre, the unlucky ones dawdled a little too close to a truck or lived on the same block as a targeted building - their lives, whatever they were, are no more, and for what? Now imagine you lead an Arabic country where the feelings against Israel and America tower to a furious rage as those bird wings of lives are broken over the rocks of Lebanon on the televisions of your country, how can you afford to side with America?

We are creating incubators for Islamic Radicalism and we have made it the most important movement in the world. If you are marginalized, how important it is to be taken seriously! That alone...

When we eat the humble pie, how much of it will be made with our own blood?

It's the scariest thought, but not for Condi or the Dicks, undoubtedly, it will be somebody else's blood: the bad have always slept well.
