The US seems to be adopting the most brutal of right wing Israeli government tactics. Armed resistance fighters use a neighborhood. To pacify it, the US military wants to empty it, baby and bath water go out together. Presumably, their next step will be to raze it.

Once again the Bush Administration and the beureaucrat toadies who support its fantasies have misunderstood reality in the ME.
They imagined that the force that fought the IDF to a standstill in ‘06 could be pushed by the March 14 government to give up anything outside the context of a compromise?

We are launching bombs and supporting Ethiopia’s occupation of Somalia, in Somalia, fomenting civil war in Lebanon, engaged in wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, covertly operating in Iran, cheering on Israeli bombings of Syria, launching missiles in Pakistan and of course the domestic efforts at supposed terrorist fighting.

We are numbed and dumbed.
