Speaking of the Israelie (sp?) and Palestinian situation. Did anyone see that most amazing special on Discovery last week? THey went through the entire Peace proposal sequence of events since (damn I forget his name now! grrr) anyhow, you know what I got out of that whole mess? NO ONE wants peace there...neither the isrealies or palestinians. TO me, it looks like both sides are just itching to get at each other and will use any excuse to do it.
I recently watched "black hawk down" and while it was loaded with "hoo rah" it also pointed out the futile attempts of the US to control that mess too. BUT there was one line in that movie that struck home. One of the Somali's holding a captured pilot said "Without a Victor, there can be no peace....."
Anyhow, back to Afghan.....The report in the paper today stated that the investigation into the bombing of the wedding will begin and there are three possibilities: An anti aircraft round fired at the B52's went astray (what goes up must come down), A B52 GBU went off target, and it could have been an AC130 Gunship that was attacking the anti-aircraft battery.
One thing that we all should realize: WE are sitting here in our safe haven bitching and moaning about what the US is doing right, AND wrong. In my humble opinion the only reason we can do this is because THEY are doing what they do....Sometimes it hurts us, sometimes it helps us, but as long as there are "bad guys in the world" WE as a country, NEED our big brother to the south!
