Basically? Take a look at the recent mishigas in Lebanon. Did you know both sides, taking opposite sides of the street, in Beirut, BOTH JUST FIRED THEIR WEAPONS RANDOMLY, IN THE AIR? If anyone got hurt, it was a mistake.

So, there ya go. A war fought where you don’t have to take aim. And, hold your fire. Until you can be sure you’re gonna hit the enemy.

True, you’re looking at vexing problems.

By why run off “that this is war?” Wasn’t “war” when American indians banded together to terrorize farmers, either. And, in time, guess who lost?

Oh, go ahead. Guess how eventually they lost big time. Because it doesn’t involve an army. (American indians used to run into the government forts for prottection.)

But when they went after the telegraph wires; that were stretched over all the railroad tracks; to provide access to Morse Code devices; the Indians; who had been using the wires for their bows. Working just as well as their “harvested animal products,” but available by the truckload. Since there was no way to protect all the wiring that went up!

The Indians found temslves with angry business mogels. The railroad barons. Who coupled “an idea” … to something the indians didn’t have. The Winchester Repeater rifle. And, then? Cowboys went into the badlands. The “Home Where The Buffalo Roamed.” And, for a couple of years … shot every buffalo till there were none.

By 1905, if an American wanted to see a buffalo at all, he’d have to toss a nickel in the air and hope it landed on its backside.

Just to compare, right now, there are nervous businesmen EVEN AMONG ARABS!

As to Lebanon? The dope capital of the world. Perveyors of the best hashish; grown as marijuana. And, it’s this traffic that keeps Lebanon, and the assad family in syria, afloat.

Sure. Vexing problems. But one of the things the arabs would like to do, is get American and Israel involved in wars. Because they bankrupt countries. (Or at least this is what bankrupted the old USSR. When they ventured into Afghanistan, for a decade in the 1980′s.)

Israel’s answer, I see being adopted, sooner or later, by the USA. NO FOOT SOLDIERS! Robotics. Drones. And missiles.

Perhaps you think it’s nothing? But when there’s a car turned into a grease slick, turned into CAR SWARMING, you are actually going about things the right way.

Yes, Saddam’s dead. The reason he is dead is that this came from the Saud’s, telling the junior Bush to “finish the job his dad didn’t do.” And, his dad didn’t do it because he got kicked out of office after one term.

Sadly, as nice as Bush just sounded on his visit to the Knesset, his words don’t amount to bupkis.

And, then? Well it all depends on who makes it into the White House when American votes. Nothing’s a “shoo-in” unless it’s fixed.

Now, if you were to question just how Morris Talansky fell out of “the” tree? What would you see? Would you see underhanded motives, and incompetence? Would you see Putin laughing?

Just because youve got a democracy, doesn’t mean you don’t have to learn to swallow lots of disappontments.
