I think the more pop culture quote has been circulating the world over since the release of V for Vendetta. And perhaps to some point we are safer with a higher order controlling our safety in some way or another... remember sometimes we can only choose the lesser of two evils. (Or a stupid one if you back bush) As for the tale of the Islamic fascist... remember last week with the impromptu rally outside the doors of union house that sparked the immediate introduction of police, as students were harassed whilst leaving union house by these Lebanese die hards. And I know the war is an atrocity, any war is, but what has really caught my attention is how quick most people are to label Israel as the bullies of the Middle East. And no I’m not giving them a green light to go nuts with their awesome arsenal, but you must have to appreciate the absolutes of war. One can draw very similar parallels to Churchill's theory of world war two. When surrounded by German forces ready to storm the channel to raze the motherland, Churchill never even contemplated democracy; there was only one alternate, WAR. Unfortunately, the major rule of war is whoever will fight the hardest for longest wins. Churchill knew it, Roosevelt and the rest of the free world knew it, history was made and we avoided evil... same applies with Reagan and his work for the cold war, I mean not a shot was fired but a very different war was won by battling for the spirit of the people. Anyway getting back to the point on hand, Israel certainly do need to defend every iota of land they have, and need every weapon they have in their arsenal. Again, no green light, don't go nuts guys and I did mean defend, not clear land fall hundreds of Palestinian suburbs while people are eating their dinner. What I’d like to ask is for those of us who are so quick to dismiss Israel to consider the alternative - swap hezbollah's arms for Israel, give em the nuke and wait 20 minutes. I guarantee you that hezbollah would launch all nuclear weapons into where ever they can. Let’s not forget hezbollah are already launching weapons into Israel at an incredible rate with no target other than the bigger the better. Again, a battle of the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately for the U.N. there is no talking out of this war, their hatred for each other grows two strong, and breeds rampantly through generations. And never was that raw hatred so visible than outside union house this week, how could people so distant from the war be seething in hatred... and take it out on others? As for those lining up for plane flights, try 11 hours in La Guardia Airport in New York a month after 9/11. Delays and whatnot are a fact of life. Problem is, and this I believe alludes to a previous rant of Will's, people today expect the world in half a second, and even then it's late. “Remember, remember the 5th of November….” I think the more pop culture quote has been circulating the world over since the release of V for Vendetta.
