just call me puzzled
Last Sunday everyone was falling all over themselves about the early morning bombing. The Israelis apologized about all the children who were killed in their bombing that morning and the Palestinians ranted and raved about how horrible and unjustified the attacks are (which makes one wonder where they're counting "you started it" from, but that's different discussion). That afternoon there was a great big rally against Israeli and the United States, complete with gigantic 30-foot banner depicting Condoleeza Rice as an ugly monster condoning the "massacre" of little children. As Laura asked in a post entitled, "Who Made the Banner?", how the heck did they (a) decide on, (b) sketch out, and (3) prepare and paint such a great big banner so quickly? Just as a point of interest, if they can efficiently go from idea to execution (if you'll pardon that word), they could use those management and production skills for much more positive purposes, it seems to me. (Her 'essay' is, as usual, much more organized and better written than mine, needless to say.) All that aside, however, now bodies have been brought out of the building which was bombed on Sunday and there are 26 people. What's that about? How could nearly 50 children have been brutally killed but only half that number of bodies are found?? Don't you think something is rotten in Denmark Lebanon Palestine over there? Is there anyone available with lots of courage and moral integrity who can take charge??
