Ray Davies must have been Israeli

Do it again! should be the theme song for the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Just the futility of another war ended without resolution to anyones liking and another conflict inside a conflict that leaves Israel looking worse than it did before. Still facing THIS yet again from an enemy that has nothing if not infinite patience, Before the ink is even dry on the cease fire agreement. Put simply we should have let Israel finish the job and if Iran or Syria got involved then damn the torpedos!

I have learned this life lesson from dealing with my ex-wife over the last few years and trying to placate her, to keep a reasonable peace between us for the sake of the kids (innocents). What I learned is this: You cannot deal rationally with an irrational person or entity and expect fairness or justice in return. Your attempts at being fair and agreeable will only be percieved as weakness and exploited in the end. That selfish or morally vacuous personalities will seek after their own self interests, forsaking all other points of view, valid or not even if they have to lie, cheat, etc... to get there. They are not concerned with the effect their actions will have on those directly or indirectly involved in their conflict and will always claim victory and shift blame in every circumstance. The only way to deal with this type of person or country for that matter is to stand fast and face them, not giving any ground and always fighting to win. There may be times when you are considered unpopular and it may hurt more than a little, but if I know anything at all, I know that justice will prevail in the end.

I wonder if Olmert has ever been divorced?
