From immoral action to immoral inaction
emptywheel @The Next Hurrah lays out the cynical posturing that is the Bush response to the ongoing tragedy in Lebanon.
In Iraq, we did and continue to do great evil through our actions. Now we do evil by our failure to act.
Combined with Condi's dog whistle call-out to the rapture crowd about "birth pangs," it is hard to avoid the conclusion that they really do want World War III.
It may well take divine intervention at this point to stop them from getting their wish.

I think we can avoid the 3 to 4 decades if we get the right President in '08. We need someone to apologize and ask for and commit to a fresh start and then immediately embark on a bold new foreign policy based on assistance and cooperation rather than threats and violence. I think there is next to no chance of that happening, I'm just saying it could.
Also, I don't think he'd be very good at Risk. He'd ignore his borders and put all of his forces in the Middle East and get picked apart from all sides.
