Water War I

I’ve heard of hassles over water holes but this one takes the cake Empress Marie Antoinette meant when she said let ‘em eat cake.

What are the Lebanese eating these days? This war has caused a huge expenditure on the part of those afflicted and those obligated to assist. I think legal action on the part of the world court on behalf of civilian casualties against the perpetrator of an undeclared war is justified and must be encouraged. This war is a waste of resources and a human tragedy that will not make Israel safe. It is foolish to take the same action and get the same violent results time after time without changing the approach hoping to find a different, more peaceable result.

The justification for war being prepared six years still came out weak, like a parrot squawking by the Litani River.

I hear on the news that Iran might be using Hezbollah as a puppet and that Russia supports Iran. Israel has The Bomb but this is not mentioned. Maybe other Moslem nations fear Iran as a leader.

I think Israel is a bit triggerhappy, like the old Indian who directed an attack on whites without knowing they all had hordes of relatives who came to take his water. Military action aimed at taking Lebanon’s largest river in one of the most arid deserts of the world is suggested. That river valley is quite valuable land and priceless water. Covet not or you will be led to perdition. An arrogant military attitude based on the fact that they possess the ultimate weapon defines a consciousness towards using it if tactics are based on it. Shame on the warmongers.

I call for an immediate cease fire in this midst of the summer growing season. People have better things to do than kill each other.
