War n' Stuff...Stupid Ranting

Well, looky what we have here. A goddamn mess, I tell you. Those idiot Hezbollah terrorists are randomly tossing over rockets into Israel, then dancing some tacky Shi'ite extremist jig every time they get lucky enough to actually hit something. In the meantime, Nasrallah is calling out to the Muslim world, especially the unfortunate Lebanese civilians who are now needlessly suffering the consequences of Israel's need to defend itself, that Hezbollah is acting "in defense" of the "stupid Zionists'" attacks on their beloved country. Um, yeah...I feel fucking horrible for those civilians, my heart aches as much for them as those suffering in Israel, but um...did that psychopathic, apocalypse-loving, sonuvabitch towel-head (yes, I'm using this slur, just this once) just "forget" that he instigated all this? No, he didn't. He and Iran want to bring about the End of Days, the final judgment, and the all-Muslim Paradise on Earth, so yeah, do not question the intent of those bastards, or even begin to try and understand or sympathize with their "cause." This is NOT about liberating the suffering Palestinians. Look, for example, at the attacks on Mumbai, India...no Palestinians there. This is about a complete disregard for life, built into this extremist ideology, in order to accomplish certain religious goals and we will never fully comprehend it. For fuck's sake, you guys, they're blowing up Arab Muslim towns and villages as much as any other. ALL OF MY MUSLIM FRIENDS' FAMILIES ARE UP NORTH. My Druze boyfriend is up north, where buses have stopped running, businesses are closed down, warning sirens ring out several times a day, and rockets are aimlessly falling all over the place. My friend in Haifa is holed up with his family at home, watching blasts and smoke destroy his (and my father's) home city. Threats of missile attacks on Tel Aviv and even Jerusalem will soon be matched by inspired suicide bombers within our borders, and terrorist attacks from Gaza continue to be met with angry response from the Israeli army, causing more deaths of civilians, and worst of all, children. Hey, I know the history of Israel is terribly controversial, and that the Palestinians need a chance to do their thing. But no excuse in the world accounts for the innocent lives lost on all fronts, or the irrational and hateful behavior of both terrorist groups and governments. And, I'm sorry for saying this, I know I'll piss off some of my friends, but 1) Israel needs to be far more prudent in its attacks (they're civilians, goddamn it!) and 2) when it comes to terrorists, people who kill innocent people to accomplish their goals, I say blow those fuckers sky high. Yeah, the two don't really work together. Southern Lebanon and Gaza have got both terrorists and civilians, so it's hard to hit one and not the other. Besides, the death of one terrorist only sprouts 10 more. In any case, after all this, I have no theory of resolve to put forth. I blame religious extremism and the innate negativity and hopelessness of the human race for all this, the former, in fact, one of many unfortunate products of the latter. Furthermore, there is no question in my mind that this conflict will only escalate, either now or later, and, for that matter, that this world will never know anything but the consequences of perverse extremities of self or group preservation coupled with this unreasonable human desire to actualize god and beliefs. Ain't none of that gonna change so yeah, we're fucked. And with that, I'm going to bed.
