The Bush Road Map will be paved with Palestinians

The Bush Road Map will be paved with Palestinians. Sharon will see to that. At his present clip of 2800 Palestinians (killed) every three years, though, he'd better pick up the tempo. There's 3 million more "obstacles to peace" in the West Bank and Gaza that will make his job uphill the rest of the way.Of all blunders Sharon has committed in his years as Israeli Prime Minister, murdering Sheik Yassin was the worst. Now, the world gets a first hand look at his dirty-work; a seventy year old paraplegic blown up in front of a crowded Mosque with half his charred head removed and his brains laying on the street beside him.

What do you think the impact of that image is?

Do you think that the legions of Israeli apologists who stormed America's media shortly after the assassination, crowding onto TV screens and radio shows to parrot their inane blather about "the war on terrorism," changed the affect of that one picture?

People know murder when they see it, and this was the worst type of "calculated" state slaughter imaginable.

We would have to go back about a year, to the "cheery" media extravaganza of "Shock and Awe" (where state TV enlisted its fascinated viewers to the joy of bombing defenseless civilians) to find an event equally revolting."

With unfailing consistnecy, U.S. intervention has been on the side of the rich and powerful of various nations at the expense of the poor and needy. Rather than strengthening democracies, U.S. leaders have overthrown numerous democratically elected governmentts, or other populist regimes in dozens of countries...whenever these nations give evidence of putting the interests of their people ahead of the interests of multinational corporate interests." --Michael Parenti, Political Scientist

Because I criticize the silly source which is CounterReality.

As for sources, personally, I tend toward the most mainstream possible when I use citations.

Constantly saying that many left-wing sources are silly without bothering to address the articles or explain WHY they're silly isn't effective at all. So how about addressing the article for a change? Isn't that what we're all supposed to be here for? To discuss articles that are posted?

all too often it is the voice of the radical isolationist Right.

But we get nothing. There's obviously a reason for that.

Sharon is disgusting and dangerous, and Bush only emboldens him.
