Shocking!

There was another suicide bomber in Israel.  I’m so shocked!  I really think it’s sad, but I am so tired of everyone acting so shocked and talking about the tragedy every time there is an explosion in Israel.  Surely these people must expect these sort of things?  It couldn’t possibly be a shock every time.  Oh, but this time it was in a coffeeshop in a quaint (read: rich) part of town, so they thought they were safe.  Please!  You’re still in Israel.  I know it sounds uncaring, but when do we give up?  How many more roadmaps do we draft before we just back out and tell Israel and the Palestinians that it’s open season?  Because it’s open season right now, let me tell you.  Joe Liebermann called Israel our “staunchest ally” in the debates last night and admonished Howard Dean for turning on them!  Please tell me this man will never be president!  Our “staunchest ally” shits all over our roadmap for peace by bombing “terrorists” (and anyone else in a 20 square mile area) as soon as we negotiate a cease-fire.  Oh, but I forgot, it’s okay to be a terrorist if you’re a government.  I mean, they did learn from the best, US!  Arggh! Let’s declare a moritorium on talk of Israel.  NO more news coverage, no more “peace talks”.  Let’s shut them out and concentrate on our own problems!  And don’t even get me started on the idiots who are still afraid of September 11th reoccuring in their backyard.  “Yes, mam, Podunkville, Nowhere is an important target for terrorists.  It’ll show the world!”  Dissipate the culture of fear!  You wanna’ worry?  Worry about losing your job, worry about your kids not getting an education, worry about starving to death from poverty!  Worry about the environment!  But don’t worry about crap like terrorists.  Just do me a favor and blow your head off instead so you can stop the worrying.  Oh, and donate your fortune to the ACLU.  Because if I hear one more person say “It’s worth giving up a little of my civil liberties to be safe…”  I’m going to shove them in a gulag!
