Is America abandoning the fight?

By Caroline B. Glick

"The Bush administration have transformed their policy from the first term into one of speaking loudly and carrying no stick"

Maybe because the 'stick' grew large enough to destroy our planet? Peace does not come from war.

"...an assessment of recent American...US doesn't want to press the Iranians to give up their nuclear weapons program until after next month's Iranian presidential elections. "

nuclear powers do not
strike nuclear powers
duh proliferation duh
gamble is deterioration
trigger happy drug induced
soma lock stepped emotions
sacrificing elations/grief
morals set in stone
Easter Island zombies
take me to your leader
mountains blow their tops
earth cracks its bottom
oceans wave tsunamis
whales beach in pods
genocide verified in Darfur
disaster
two steps from the top
of Jacob's ladder
the only way up is down
evil is as evil does
not as evil pontificates
God will not bless America
until it saves it's soul.
