Another day, another round of Middle East peace talks. When are the nations of the Western world and the leadership of Israel going to realize that Hamas, Fatah, and the PLO don’t want peace? They want you gone, and they will use any means to “git ‘er done”, including the peace talks ruse. Someone had better listen to what the Palestinians are really saying, instead of hearing just what they want to hear!
Is Fox News glad they have no more dealings with Rita Cosby, or what? It seems that Ms. Cosby has gone into the scandal book industry and has decided that Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and baby-daddy were sleeping together. But get this: she doesn’t have any evidence of it, other than a rumored “sex tape”! She has never seen the tape, can’t say with any conviction that it exists but she felt free to write about it in her new book! Can you say “lack of journalistic integrity” boys and girls?
If Albert Gore, Jr. is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, what about me? I have a 12 year old boy and a nearly 4 year old girl, and I manage every day to keep them from killing one another. Surely that contributes more to world peace than making some mock documentary about global warming, right?
Quick, someone answer me this: Why do the media want to know what the White House is going to say about Gen. Ricardo Sanchez’s criticisms on the campaign trail? If I’m not mistaken, GWB isn’t on the campaign trail---so how does anything he says impact on the candidates and their campaigns?
On a related note, I think that Sen. McCain has pretty much defanged the General’s recent criticism of the Bush plan in Iraq. Sen. McCain pointed out that when Gen. Sanchez was in a position to make a difference in the course of the war, he was the head cheerleader for the plan that he now characterizes as a “disaster”. It sounds to me like someone is trying to salvage their legacy as a military officer to me!
In the “MYOB” department, could someone tell the Congress to stay out of other nation’s histories? In an effort to make themselves feel important, the Democratically controlled Congress has decided that it needs to pass a resolution condemning Turkey for “genocide” against the Armenians after World War One. This resolution covers something that happened nearly 100 years ago and has had the effect of souring relations between the US and Turkey; Turkey has taken this so seriously that they have recalled an ambassador over the situation. In case the Congress hasn’t noticed, Turkey is a strategic ally of ours in the Middle East, and we should be trying to strengthen the relationship instead of antagonizing the Turks. History will rightly judge what the Turks did to the Armenians---we don’t need the Congress trying to pass judgment on anyone else for their history; we have plenty of skeletons in our own closets to deal with before we go digging into someone else’s!
Finally, from the “Let It Go” file”: I would urge Fred Goldman to let his vendetta against O.J. Simpson go. I cannot even imagine what it is like to see my child murdered, nor to see the man who did it go free---and make no mistake, O.J. did it! But after all of this time, it is time to let some of the bitterness and anger go; all it is doing is poisoning you. Fred Goldman has allowed his entire life to be defined by the death of his son and his hatred towards the man he believes killed him; that is no way to honor the memory of your son, and it is no way to live a life. By holding onto this vendetta, Fred Goldman is allowing O.J. Simpson to kill him, just as he killed his son.
