The other side has a point of view that's been squished for too long in
this country. There was a time when Israel had my sympathy, but over the
years I've noticed time and time again how disproportionately (that is
the operative word) pro-Israel passions are represented in our media and
politics, and that really turned me off. It's too much, it's out of
control, and Israel needs - as Colin Powell put it - to be reigned in.

This war, and Israel's rabid supporters in the US who were part and
parcel of launching it, is one of the greatest errors this country has
ever made, and now it's going to be Hell to pay to get past it. 

A major part of our getting past it is in coming to terms with those
forces in our media and gov't. The neocon ringleaders - including the
greedy, selfish bastards in the MI complex and Big Oil - need to be put
on trial for war crimes, AIPAC needs to be stood up to, Big Media needs
to be busted up, and we've got to rescue our democracy from the clutches
of Big Money.

I sympathize with the many peace-loving people in Israel, they are among
the many victims of the belligerent, arrogant protagonists who have led
them into this morass. I hope to see them rise up and replace their
rulers with leaders who will do what it takes to make peace with their
neighbors. And they need to do this urgently, because the forces against
them are building towards a climax that none of us wants to see.
