Bias
I used to think this whole Middle Eastern thing was too complicated to get into and thus tried to stay as neutral on the issues as possible. But the recent crisis between Lebanon and Israel made one thing clear in my mind: The United States is clearly biased towards the militarily superior (thanks to the U.S.) Israel, a Jewish State, than the rest of the region (mostly Arabs). I wish I don’t have to sound so anti-semitic. But it appears that every policy U.S. has had in the Middle East favors Israel!
Not that i have anything against the Israelis, Jews or even the United States in this case. But I thought a Superpower probably shouldn’t play favorites in a sensitive region on sensitive issues (what’s being projected as Arabs v.s. Jews, or Muslims v.s. Christians/Jewish)… Take for example, nuclear weapons: Why is it that Israel can have it but not Iran? To me, Israel looks more like a terrorist state than any of its surrounding neighbors. If Saddam was taken down for suspicion of having Weapons of Mass Destruction, why not North Korea? I mean, it was clear that UN couldn’t find any WMD in Iraq even prior to U.S. invasion. But it’s now obvious that North Korean HAS WMD. So what’s the argument for not taking it down?
Anyway… enough of this stupid rant. It must be the heat getting to me… The apartment is so hot that the thermostat is confused again.

North Korea doesn’t have any OIL, dumb-ass! Why the EF would we care about them? They can’t even make bombs that get to Japan, let alone here. I mean, so what if Japan bites it - oooh, no PS3!!
And you hit it with the religious thing. Numbah 1 reason we support Israel? Because the Bible says that’s what we should do. Protect the chosen people. I tell no lie. It’s in there somewhere. Ask “W”; He’ll set you straight.
Man, I wish I was Swiss. Total neutrality. Just watch the world play their stupid games.

Do’h!
Yeah, Japan should bite it — let’s just say it’s pay back for all the sh*t they did to others during WW2 without even feeling sorry for it.
That’s why I think organized/institutional religion is evil (in general), you punk! Religion gets corrupted like politics… But that’s another topic for another day…
