Lawl. Sorry to be such a drain on your creativity.

You know how I feel about this issue. I blame both sides. You can’t justify carbombings, just like you can’t justify killing civilian women and children.

An overwhelming majority of people in the west support a peaceful solution where both parties share the same land, as opposed to picking one side over the other. It’s pathetic how both political parties in the US try to pander to Israel in order to win an ally in the middle east (as well as winning the key state of Florida in the presidential elections), when the reality is that most people want a solution where both sides can coexist.

Glad to see that you’re posting again by the way. I almost thought you’d given up on the whole political thing.

I feel though that Obama is pretty much exonerated from any kind of involvement in this mess, given some of the comments made by Blagojevich when he thought no one was listening.

“Unless I get something real good for [Senate Candidate 1], shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying. I’m going to keep this Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I’m saying. [...] And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself. [The Senate seat] is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

“Blagojevich said that consultants (believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this ‘motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.’”
