I think it's really neat that Annan is calling for a cease fire. That's such a swell idea. There is, afterall, a humanitarian crisis brewing in southern Lebanon and maybe giving the U.N. or NGOs a chance to get in there and help out the civilians who are trapped is not a terrible idea. It's almost cute the way Annan thinks his word means anything given that the U.S. considers the U.N. a nonentity. I thought the days of cowboy diplomacy were over? Because it seems to me that once again we find ourselves alone in our opinion that Israel continue fighting indefinitely.
One of my other favorite new developments is that Condi "Iamacompletesellout" Rice "..plans to travel to the region, possibly as early as next week, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters on Thursday."
The wording of that statement is so perfect. It makes it sound as if early next week is so soon! It certainly doesn't make it sound as if we've been dragging our feet! Like we've been hoping Israel will just bomb the shit out of Hezbollah and disarm them before we could possibly step in with a diplomatic solution!
Diplomacy is so not sexy.
Bombing. Violence.
Now that's hot.
And finally, it's nice that the House getting along so well. It appears as if with an overwhelming majority they are set to pass a resolution staunchly supporting Israel and condemning their enemies. That's great. First, you spent a day of my money coming up with yet another nonbinding resolution that doesn't mean anything to anyone except to show support for yet another stupid thing G.W.B. is doing without international support.
Remember the last time you guys did that?
