I've been watching the news (not just blogs, they might be biased) and thick sliced or thin, the physics of carbon-based life forms is pretty much a mathamatical axiom that won't be transmuted by human egos or passions. Regardless of "big-time" media, small town rumor, old fashioned common sense or the ethereal Hubble scenarios, matter and energy are still a constant (until further notice), by the best rules we've been able to recognize. The "Politicos" can blame and accuse all they want, the religious escapists will continue to transfer their doubts, and the plutocrats will place their bids for the last gasp of air. All that not withstanding, we are too crowded. No one's to blame perse`, but no one's willing to be the first to make concessions. All cultures can, apparently, rationalize 'till the cows come home, but the last one standing has the dubious "honor" of claiming victory before a "god" that might not be the one that "chose" them.
Establishing territorial imperatives based on anything but tribal realities is ludicrous and untenable. Conflict for it's own sake , however , must be contained by all noncombatants who, after all, have everthing to lose. There's a lot going on in the rest of the world and the middle east isn't the only place with oil and vinegar. With a weary sigh, and a teary eye we should say goodbye to all semitic strife (arabs are semitic also).

In case anyone's paying attention, all the media coverage in the world isn't going to change the fact that the Islamicists are becoming a threat to the entire world. If I were Bhuddist I would wonder at their destruction of two of the worlds greatest artistic feats. If I were an architect, I would wonder about the destruction of two magnificent "market places". In America, we're not as close to the disease as people in Europe, but disease it is. Histrionics won't change a thing. Germany deified Hitler in much the same fashion that Islam worships Osama.
Personally, I'm not much of a "hawk", but my opinion is that the "rabble" is quickly getting away from the powers that be in the middle east, and the "beast" is starting to turn on the whole lot of them. If they cannot deal with an unruly house, then we have no business interfering unless their fracas overflows. ......Ask NYC about the overflow!!!!

It's becoming clearer by the day that the "east", for mystical reasons only they can comprehend, are trying to put the onus of world peace on the United States. While they blame and accuse us for everything bad that ever happened in the eastern hemisphere, they tell the rest of the world that America is not doing enough to bring about world peace. Their wars started long before America was part of the world, and any attempt we,(the west) make to amelieorate the problems will only be met with more accusations of exploitation of their ignorant masses by "slick " American corporate types. If the stupid jerks in charge over there can't figure out that the only folks slippin' them the green weenie are their own "royal families", then they most surely need to take themselves out of the gene pool. Their "religion" is nothing more then an excuse to murder their neighbors, and a rationalization for an incredible level of individual immaturity and insecurity, They are as alien to me as I am incomprehensible to them. They think I am an enemy; I think they are a danger. I used to not think of them at all, except as characters from an old book. I have grown.... they, apparently, still think of themselves as dashing, desert heros, preserving the golden age of the Moors. Sad in all cases, but I cried when "Ole Yellar" was put down too. "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off..."
