And you wanted lasting peace?

So our current Administration, seeking peace through war and freedom and democracy on a global scale by destruction and killing, so we can all be ever so free and democratic and all, yet sparks another deepening disaster in what could have been and should be a friendly relationship with Venezuela.

The President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, has said his country is likely to sever ties with Israel in protest at its military offensive in Lebanon.

"Israel has gone mad. It's attacking, doing the same thing to the Palestinian and Lebanese people that they have criticised - and with reason - the Holocaust. But this is a new Holocaust."

The Venezuelan president has also angered Israel by showing support for Iran, which backs Hezbollah and has said the answer to the crisis in Lebanon is the elimination of Israel.

Remember, Chavez sees Bush in a very bad light and for good reason. He does not see the American people or the United States that way.

Great strategy by Bush and company, ever creating more perceived evil, more potential disaster, where none need exist. The glorification of little minds and little ideas blown out of proportion by righteous indignation, which here is more indignant than righteous. Sad days for the United States until we can begin to awaken from the hypnotic state and illusions that so seem to dominate our minds and hearts.


Here's hoping in the EE.
