Team Bolton vs. Team Iran. Black vs. White. Extreme vs. Extreme.

God, what a clusterfuck this entire situation is.

1. That's what happens when you lay down in the middle
you get run over by both tires.

Sad isn't it?

4. It would be if they weren't both RWer's spouting their usual shit.
They're just RWers for different sides. Nationalistic twits masterbating to their own pseudo-patriotic religious wankery.

If one of them were a LW article it would be about the inability to keep peace in the region for the sake of constant aggression and the construction of a siege mentality..

5. Good point.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Leftist view started to prevail on this issue?

2. So I guess Obama must be doing SOMETHING right about this...I don't
agree with his actions, (or lack thereof) so far. I wish he would insist upon an internationally led investigation, and NATO or UN peace-keeping forces to separate Gaza from Israel, but that's impossible, and he knows it.

3. I LOVE that!
Give the UN the job of keeping Palestinians from bombing Israel! YES! Give the Israelis a chance to live in peace for ten minutes! YES!

6. My idea is incredibly simple, but expensive, and costly for UN troops, etc
and endless, because we still have to deal with two devils on both sides...

I'm sure it has been thought of before, and I wish it were realistic.

Thanks for you vote of support.

7. Something we can agree on.
The entire situation is a clusterfuck and always has been. Too many people on BOTH sides with vested interests and long knives with hardly anyone truly interested in peace.

Welcome to the Middle East.
