Piazza Cavour
whats my life for?
Does anyone else find the recent events in Lebanon disturbing, I'm amazed and incredibly shocked by events there and more so the fact of the response by America and bush. Does Bush not learn anything by his mistakes. Anyway why is America at the forefront, surely the UN should be the face of diplomacy.
I just read the BBC news:

and I am amazed to hear Bush and his side kick (probably only there to take the heat of Bush, and make it seem credible) say, quote:- Mr Bush said the two countries' goal was to achieve a "lasting peace" in the region.
Mr Bush said he and Mr Blair had agreed an international force would augment the Lebanese army, and assist with the distribution of humanitarian aid.
He told reporters that the US and UK governments had agreed their top priorities in dealing with the crisis were to:
Help provide immediate humanitarian relief (what! sending Israel more Bombs?)
Achieve an end to the violence (what! not trying to pursued Israel to a cease fire?)
Return those displaced by the crisis (Send them back into the firing line!)
Help with reconstruction (give a pathetic amount to rebuild, like in Afghanistan & Iraq)
I find this amazing, only last week Bush let Israel carry on destroying hundreds of innocent lives, refusing to intervene straight away. Only last week America hurried up Shipments of Precision guided weapons, which in fact came through Britain. They only condemn Lebanon and never Israel, surely it doesn't take a genius to work out that constant bombing of a already suppressed, poor society will recruit more terrorists. But, hey maybe that is what The USA want?? Lets remember, that' s where the biggest natural oil reserves are in the middle east.
