Political Leadership Needs

Tanks for the Memories - What Religious and Political Leadership Needs is a Good Enema
By Dennis Diehl

Well I have to say that the Israelis certainly know the principle of an eye for an eyelash and are busy throwing a tantrum that can only lead to worse everything as we know it. When I think of the current leaders and governments on the planet, the term sh-- for brains comes readily to mind.

Here are a few things to consider as we watch this latest comedy of tragic errors which began for Americans on 9-11 when the American people were lied to as to the need to go to war and slaughter a few hundred thousand more relatively innocent souls, and trash the Constitution to boot. For the Middle East, it was when Ariel Sharon insisted on going to pray where he was not welcome to pray, but boy did he show them. Respect for sensitivities is not a big priority with these guys. Who the hell are these guys praying to anyway, and what are they praying for? Is the mess today the answer to prayer? You gotta love religion! Maybe all this is an answer to all the prayers that go up every day across the planet by the big three. No wonder I like Buddhists and Hindus better than the Holy Trinity Doctines of of Kill 'Em all and let God sort them out.

Anyway, here are a few things to keep in mind as we hear our President tell us Israel is merely defending itself and we will always support them in doing so, so this is all good. I'd also like to remind the Fundamentalist Christians of just how well their plans to coerce Jesus to return are going. So here we go.

1. 121 Israeli children have been killed by Palestinians and 734 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000. Of course it's more for each by now, but you get the point. It's good to kill children. They did it all the time in the Old Testament and since it was directed by God himself, well, it's a good thing. It's evidently a good think to keep going back to that book as the how and why we do what we do to children in the 21st century.

2. 1,084 Israelis and 4,020 Palestinians have been killed since September 29, 2000. Again, it's a few more of some but a lot more of some others. So it seems a bit contrived to think that all this current bombing and bravado is based on two kidnapped soldiers. Don't tell anyone...but it was planned long ago.

3. Israelis and Palestinians Injured Since September 29, 2000 7,633 Israelis and 30,281 Palestinians have been injured since September 29, 2000
