It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Well, the Palestinians have had their "election" with the result that organized terrorists that actively promote genocide will now have a greater role in ruining any chance of peace between Israel and Palestine. Who do we have to thank for this? How about Yasser Arafat, who could have had peace but prefered a constant state of war as his legacy. Too bad he got to die humanely in a hospital, and not like some of his victims. Call me sadistic, but he truly deserved the Mussolini treatment. Speaking of Mussolini, how about those Iranian theocrats? Who do you think really bankrolled the Hamas electoral victory, anyhow? Think how much better the world would be right now if we had actually removed Saddam from power back in '91 and gone after the Iranians in 2003? This is what we get for letting the UN dictate things, because the lowest common denominators carry the day(thing Cameroon and China). Too bad Bush 41 had no spine back then and didn't finish things off when he should have. He has the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi Shiites on his hands as a result, since he called on them to revolt to support an invasion that never happened. That is also why Saddam drained the Tigris-Euphrates delta marshland, arguably one of the worst ecological disasters in history. And something that US forces are working hard on repairing. In fact, over three quarters of that area has again been flooded and will hopefully return to its natural state, allowing the Marsh Arabs to return home. Too bad the angry left is too busy protesting the war to notice this environmental victory. But getting back to the Palestinians, how about all those great pictures of masked gunmen parading through the streets and storming the Palestinian "parliament". Democracy is definitely a process, but this is only the first baby step, in my view. And that is probably a backwards step.
And in the Mad and getting madder dept., we of course have John Kerry, who flew back from palavering in French in Switzerland to announce his quixotic filibuster of Sam Alito, who apparently wasn't a Skull and Bones member. I wish he would tell us who he would have nominated instead, so we could all remember what a bullet the country dodged in the last election. Think Ruth Bader Ginsgurg times ten, and we are probably getting close.
I guess Sam Alito wasn't born rich and privileged like Kerry, so he can't understand the underclass. I love how Kerry just ignores that Alito has actually voted more on the pro-choice side than the pro-life, which wouldn't make sense given the Democrats' hysteria during the Judiciary Committee hearings. Want to convince a liberal friend that their side is bereft of ideas(and ideals)? Just sit them down for ten straight hours of C-SPAN coverage of the Alito hearings. You may have to do it Clockwork Orange style to get them to actually watch it, but hopefully they won't be able to listen to Teddy speak again without becoming violently ill. Now there is a good idea for a college course!! Someone get the President of Harvard on the line...
