...indications are, despite the great odds, we're being treated to another
peace pageant, following,
logically, hard upon a glorious IDF bludgeoning of a mostly passive civilian
population, children with stones,  and a handful of lightly armed resistance
fighters,... video bite showing one being blown to bits at close range
by a brave tank gunner could serve to epitomize the entire
conflict,...anyway the winners, the co-queens, Sharon & Arafat (& possibly
dubya), are  pre-chosen and
scripted, and the media all primed for their usual assigned puffery.
The Bush-Sharon team consider Arafat to be now sufficiently craven ,...no
humiliation too withering nor betrayal too abject;
while, for our part, probably we must undergo another holocaust industry pop
cult barrage,...again with the  Elie Weisel  exhibitionism and zionist
jerry-springer-ism,  to engage the idiot consumers' vicarious complicity,
soften his view on the subsidy required as our especial heroism to the great
historical achievement.  And all to attempt to bury again the still un-dead
Palestinian cry for justice.
