What do George W. Bush, Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak, Binyamin Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni have in common? They are all capable of destroying the world individually or collectively.
Bush invaded Iraq with lies and false pretences. Bush claimed that Saddam Hussein was a danger to the world and the US, that he had WMDs, that he was hosting Al-Qaeda. None of it was true. With tens of thousands, and may be hundreds of thousands, Iraqis killed and millions displaced, are we better off now than five years ago? The answer is a clear and obvious No.
Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak, Binyamin Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni, political rivals in Israel, went into Gaza with the pretence that Gaza was threat to Israel. Israel has one of the best equipped armies in the world - nukes and all - and it was threatened by 1.5 million Gaza residents who already are living in subhuman conditions? It is a densely populated small area and the people are living like sardines in a can. These Israeli leaders are competing for the February election (with the exception of Ehud Olmert who wants to improve his legacy like Bush). This invasion and slaughter of Gaza residents is very dangerous for World peace. I believe European Leaders have already seen through this. Bush and Harper will never see through it, as they are enablers. The sooner this conflict is brought to an end better it is for both the Israelis and the Palestinians, and world peace.
If Israel's political leaders had any credibility in the world, they are fast loosing it. No matter how the defenders of this invasion dress the wolf (Israel's political leaders + Bush and Harper) as a sheep, it is still a dangerous wolf. Unless this wolf is tamed, there does not seem to be any chance for peace. Please do not mistake me, Hamas firing rockets into Israel is also morally wrong. Especially as it is innocent civilians who are the victims. However, this does not justify the excessive military actions in Gaza.
