=========
O! Jerusalem! If I forsake thee.
Since Jimmy Carter the Israelis and Palestinians have figured out a thousand reasons to continue the slaughter and the lunacy and the degradation of all involved.
After six thousand years the Jewish people have figured out a way to make their young girls into soldiers.
And the Palestinian people have figured out a way to make the Gaza the most horrific place on earth.
And we see a Jewish Air Force dropping bombs on women and children.
And we see Palestinian teenagers blowing themselves up as suicide bombs.
God in his infinite glory could not have planned this.
This is a hell on earth concocted by wilfull and ignorant human beings who so love their god that they find it easy to hate their fellow man.
So it ultimately falls to my favorite Hawaian, the Harvard Law Review editor currently living in the White House.
Seems Obama is going to have to beat those swords into plowshares by dragging these idiots to a table and forcing them to construct a peace and a future for their people.
Apparently anger, hatred, and warfare are easy habits to get into. And even harder to break.
Apparently the Palestinians and Israelis have some desire to keep the world at the edge of war.
We have to break the cycle.
It's all up to the Hawaian.
The wealth and human potential is there to make such a peace work.
Obama has to take control for the most obvious reason of all.
Nobody else will.
