If our government wasn't so damned arrogant, we'd have the good grace to be ashamed of ourselves

disgusting...

The United States inaugurated its largest embassy ever in the heart of the Green Zone on Monday, officially opening the fortress-like compound that was built as a testament to America's commitment to Iraq.

Addressing an inauguration ceremony under tight security, Ambassador Ryan Crocker said the $700 million embassy was testimony to America's long-term friendship with Iraq, where about 146,000 U.S. troops are deployed.

"From this embassy in the years to come, we look forward to building our partnership and contributing to the future," Crocker said.

meanwhile...

Attacks once again rocked Baghdad a day after a suicide bomber killed at least 38 people at a Shiite shrine just four miles north of the site of the new embassy. Four bombs exploded in different parts of Baghdad just before noon on Monday, killing four people and wounding 19.

i hope those occupying the seats of power in the REAL iraqi government feel comfortable in their new home...

Israeli ground forces invade Gaza

i am completely fed up with israel... the ones calling the shots in that country are running a terrorist state and one week from today, i will be in jordan, a stone's throw from israel's southeastern-most border and the israeli city of eilat... the jordanians are pretty upset with israel anyway over the latest gaza attacks and this is just going to make things that much worse...

Israeli ground forces moved in the northern Gaza Strip Saturday evening, on the eighth day of a massive Israeli offensive against militants in the salient.

The ground operation was preceded by an artillery barrage which lasted for hours, and reports said the troops were backed by air support.

There was no immediate indication how far into the salient the troops had penetrated, or what type of resistance they were meeting.

An Israeli Army spokeswoman declined to discuss the operation.

and my country is supporting this campaign of death and destruction...
