As the bombs fall, the usual suspects are banging the drums for a wider war

don't these people ever get tired of death and destruction...?

Americans are being whipped into a new war frenzy with simplistic visions of evil villains, much like occurred four years ago before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Just as Saddam Hussein was cast as the monster whose elimination would transform Iraq into a democratic oasis, Hezbollah and its allies in Syria and Iran are presented now as the crux of all evil in the Middle East whose military defeat will bring a new day.

Inside the United States, many of the same politicians and pundits who stampeded the nation into Iraq are back again urging the application of even more violence. While George W. Bush and his neoconservative advisers may be leading the herd, influential Democrats – like Hillary Clinton and Alan Dershowitz – are running with this pack, too.

i'm sure many of these "politicians and pundits" consider the hezbollah-israel war a blessing heaven-sent, but god, i am sure, does not seek death and destruction for his creatures... i only hope god will choose to save our souls if we get duped again...
