Insanity

Hezbollah/Iran/Syria claim victory; as does GW and Israel. But who really paid the price over the last 5 weeks? Innocent people, victims to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think I read that most of the dead and injured are not just civilians, but children.

At least the President of Iran is now blogging. I'm not linking to him though, because the thought of him getting even $.80 from Goggle Ads is just wrong.

My favorite quote from President Mahmoud:
"God's promises have come true," Ahmadinejad told a huge crowd in Arbadil in northwestern Iran. "On one side, its corrupt powers of the criminal US and Britain and the Zionists .... with modern bombs and planes. And on the other side is a group of pious youth relying on God."

The monotheistic religions usually claim their God to be omnipotent, omniscient, and many other really impressive sounding omni's. If the 'pious youth' are 'relying on God,' well then they're in pretty good shape as God can make or break anyone's day. I guess you've just got to put your eggs in the right basket though, and not pick the wrong God.
