Jesse,
I get so angry about all of this bullshit!
This is happening RIGHT in FRONT of MY EYES, and I don’t know what to DO about it!
I can hardly get my breath sometimes…
Someone PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO.
Along with other groups, I belong to Amnesty International.
I write letters, I phone polititians office’s, I sign and foreward petitions…
Should I go to Gitmo, Palestine and Lebenon help “bring Democracy” to them my damn self?
This is the world that I’m supposed to leave to my children and grand children etc.?
I’M NOT HAVING IT!
I just don’t know what else to do anymore.
How can someone as strong and savvy as I have always been, be so damn useless NOW?

I just saw a CNN/Anderson Cooper segment where he picks up ball bearings from what was supposed to be a Hezbollah bombing site,and say something like,”These are made just to kill and injure people” (NOT a direct quote). I yelled at the TV : “Oh,and the Israeli bombs are filled with what-CANDY?!?” And while I do see the bearings, I ALSO see that the buildings AROUND the rocket fragments are still standing - not like the apocalyptic ruins I see in Lebanon.
Then he goes on a guided tour with Hezbollah, moaning about how the media isn’t allowed to roam freely on their own. I yelled again, “Oh-so you can point out where they may be HIDING??? Go on a tour with Israeli forces and you will see exactly what they WANT you to see,and you’ll LIKE IT!”
He points out a Lebanese man who he says is “told” by Hezbollah to play pro-Hezbollah music(?) whenever the media comes around….”Yeah-like when in the first Gulf War when they showed Iraqi children with little AMERICAN flags(,big sellers in Iraq),or the photo I saw early in the invasion of Iraq(the second one) of a group of people holding up flags-and one of the flags had an image of Sylvester Stallone as ROCKY BALBOA on it!”
Finally,he is taken to an ambulance center,where he informs us that Hezbollah lines up these ambulances for the media-then they are told to dramatically tear out of the garage,sirens blaring,but not in response to Lebanese victims;just for show.Cooper explains that Hezbollah “isn’t too subtle” about their PR-but gives them credit for still HAVING a PR department after all that Israel has dished out on them.
You had to see it (hopefully someone out there did), because words can’t do it “justice”.Cooper was leaning towards Israel so hard that he looked like he was reporting in a gale-force headwind.
I’ve been yelling at my TV a lot lately…I’m waiting for my TV to yell back,”HEY!! I just MAKE THE PICTURES!!! Why don’t you CHANGE THE FRICKIN’ CHANNEL??!!”
