Termyn8or -> RE: A reason to condemn Israel (7/5/2006 6:43:38 PM)

LaM;
First off I want to thank you for being as un-insulting as possible. I respect that. I seem to insult you at times completely unintentionally, and it really is unintentional. I submit that you are a bit hyper-sensitive about the Jewish issue. I will admit that some of my remarks are derogatory about Jews, but I really try to only condemn their actions, I also admit that the fingers fly at times. I do regret the football team remark. Really.
The section you quoted of my last post was intended sarcastically. I assure you that is something I would never want to see happen, do you think I would ? Of course I realize this is the internet and you have no idea who I am or what my background is. Perhaps I am a nut. Usually admitting the possibility indicates sanity, but there are those times.....
My ideas, and indeed my ideology are radical. while my kind do not favor armed revolutions at this time, I/we do call for a drastic change in how the world is run. I don't just think laterally, I think omnidirectionally.
For example, we have NKorea and Iran, both trying to become nuclear states, but look at what is going on around them. Israel has nukes, so Israel's neighbors want nukes. A balance of power. This makes perfect sense for Iran, and if I was the leader of Iran I would do exactly the same thing, but I am not. On the other hand, some valid questions have been raised about the sanity of the leadership in NK. I do not dispute this, I simply haven't looked into it. It is not a big issue, neither Iran or NK is likely to get a first strike at a US target. But then I don't think that is their goal.
I can see Russia not being on "our" side either, YUKOS never had the clout of the old 'oilgiarchs' of Russia, but surely the Russian government can see that they are not better off by letting the US, England and Israel control all this oil. Of course it is advantageous for any country to control all this oil. We have such a bad trade deficit with China, they have enough Tbills etc., to collapse the US economy in a matter of days, that is if the US didn't have the ability to print money ad infinitum. This would cause drastic inflation in the US, and I mean drastic. They can only do so much to prop the dollar up.
If they can get involved with supplying China with oil, the US 'oilgiarchs' will actually have a positive effect on our economy. Thing is to get the job completely done, and the invasion of Iraq was not the correct strategy. They listened to the slanted hype and expected to be met with handshakes, mainly because of the negative slant on the pre-invasion conditions in Iraq. Seeing the bad they discounted all the good, and never expected so many insurgents, and so many who would support Saddam, at least over the US trying to occupy their country. What did they think ? As bad as the US government is, I would fight against an invader here, to the death.
Israel operates in her own best interest, and noone can fault them for that, however their actions have not been sufficently tempered by the international community. They want to be the sole nuclear power in the region, and I don't blame them. They stand in defiance of over 40 UN security council resolutions against them. Are we in the UN or not ? Are they ? Was Iraq ? Oh yes and Iraq didn't have the prohibited devices. They complied, but got invaded anyway. Now Saddam is on trial for what ? Do you know ? About a dozen or so murders, which may have actually been executions of would be assassins.
Can we get the details of Saddam's trial, can we get those of the Milesovic trial ? No. Spill our blood and not even tell us why.
My opinion, rebut whatever you want to, I agree to disagree. Things in the world are not always as they seem. You have enlightened me Sir, and I appreciate that. I didn't know Olmert was more moderate. While he certainly does not represent Palestinians, with a Wife in Peace Now I don't think he will be so ruthless. Time will tell.
