Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, neoconservative leader, war cheerleader, and big brain on the right had this to say at the start of the Iraq War:
We are tempted to comment, in these last days before the war, on the U.N., and the French, and the Democrats. But the war itself will clarify who was right and who was wrong about weapons of mass destruction. It will reveal the aspirations of the people of Iraq, and expose the truth about Saddam’s regime. … History and reality are about to weigh in, and we are inclined simply to let them render their verdicts.Ah yes, the unholy trinity, the UN, the French, and the Democrats. If it wasn't for the constant use of this slam by the right, why, it would seem like a parody. Mr. Kristol, I see a medal of freedom in your future! Asshole. Having been so momumentally wrong, at what point does he cease to be an expert, a "grown up, a serious thinkier about the Middle East? Miracles, alas, do not happen. Kristol has - predictably - used the situation in Lebanon to ramp up his calls for invading Iran. Apparently, the Iranian people can't wait for us to get there. You know, I'm sure that gonna's go super for us. Just super.

the two things i have given up on are: (1) peace in the middle east and (2) the U.S. media serving reliable, informative and objective news.
it will take some time for us to learn our lesson (you can't have peace thru violence). expect this seed of hatred to lead others to attack us like 9/11. Israel is going to do what it thinks it has to do (all out war against muslim countries, etc). too bad our gov't has picked a side rather than selected peace.
