Disproportionate and Futile

This is not a conflict between equals (via); Israel has greater power and greater responsibility and will eventually be held to higher standards than oppressed desperadoes. Future generations will surely see this as an obvious evil comparable to the oppression of the native peoples in the Americas and Australia.

It is a sick joke that the man who is now an envoy to the Middle East is also the man who led the United Kingdom into the wicked and unexplained, possibly inexplicable, invasion of Iraq in 2003. If I can make any sense of this surreal appointment it does not indicate any realistic commitment to peace and justice.
