Middle East Crisis

The Middle East is again in crisis. The US, as usual, is backing up Israel, and this time, I suspect that Israel might have even been given the green light by the US before their military action. Now, Israel is calling Syria, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah the "Axis of Terror", the language of the US in their war against terror. An open war seems eminent.

I believe that with US blessing, Israel is just using the kidnapping of their soldiers as an excuse to lauch the attack on Hezbollah. To what extent is the US behind the Israsli action is up to anyone's guess. I, for one, believe that the US is there every step of the time.

The Republicans are falling behind in public polls, and it seems that the Bush administration is taking a bold step of using a war to divert the American public's attention. What they have forgotten, though, is that the drop in support by the American public had everything to do with the mess they have created in Iraq.

History seems to repeat itself all the time. The suffering of innocent civilians is of no concern to the power-hungry politicians. Where should we stand in the brink of war?
