If you were president, what would you tell Rice to relay to the leaders to curb the Israeli-Hezbollah fighting? Fox News is trying to answer this question. Bush has a diplomatic plan, no doubt! However, it’s always nice to know what the common people would do if they were in Bush’s shoes.

Some people said that they would back Israel and blame any deaths caused by either side on Hezbollah. This is rather diplomatic in my opinion. After all, in a true warmongering society death counts don’t matter because death needs to happen for democracy to reign.
Personally, I feel it’s none of our business. In fact, it’s only our business right now because Israel is our ally. If this issue was happening, in say…Dafur then the president wouldn’t be paying it any mind.
These are issues, which have been going on in some form or fashion for far too long. They were never our issues unless you count the lost lives by using American purchased weapons and that are being used by Israel. They still are not our issues unless you plan to try to help every country in need regardless of what we gain from them.
The reason I refuse to support any action of the Israeli military is simple and makes a lot of sense if you think about it. The first reason is we are spread to thin. If you want to take troops out of Iraq then it might be okay, but sending off a new set of American troops to Israel is going to leave us wide open for trouble. Not enough soldiers will be on American soil allowing a homebound attack to be a real serious possibility.

Next reason and the initial one I had for disregarding action is the mentality of the people. The Israeli’s want to fight this war and just about any other war, they wish to start, in hopes of blasting everyone out of “their” region.
I was making dinner the other night while CNN was playing in the background. I could hear a woman’s voice speaking and then the translator came on. The translator spoke of how the woman had said that she wanted desperately to get her son to safety. She wanted to ensure he could live. Unfortunately, it did not stop there. The reason she wants him to live most of all is so she can send him back, strong and healthy, to Israel. She wants her son to go and kill the people of Lebanon as well as the Palestinians.
This mentality is disgusting and needs to be stop. You want diplomacy? Stop giving them weapons and aid of any kind, and let them fight on their own. Eventually they will come to their senses or kill each other off so much so that we don’t need to hear about the ridiculousness of issues like these.
With any path you choose, you come to a point in the road where you realize some things are worth staying out of and you turn back around and go the other way. Too bad our esteemed governor Bush has not realized that yet.
