be thoroughly ashamed of you. Dumbass? Well, maybe. I haven't been scrutinising it lately but it's a good bit away from my brain. Your friend Amy, doctor of dullness, should inform you about simple anatomy. It's just after mid-day here and it's two hours ahead in Gaza/Israel, a fact of which I'm very much aware. Nevertheless, Jonathan in Tel Aviv, you were up long after midnight (in the M.E. time zone) disseminating all sorts of "fairy stories" about Goldilocks and the Three Bears (which have turned out to be Germany, Egypt and Saudi Arabia). Your stamina is amazing but the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs is even more relevant; the farmer got greedy and killed the goose to get at the golden eggs and we all know what happened then. America is, of course, the goose laying the golden eggs in the grotesque form of F-16s, tanks and field artillery against a shambolic rag-tag Hamas militancy. I hate to have to spell it out for you but Israel is the greedy farmer who kills that goose and there are no more "golden eggs" because Farmer Bibi-Barak-Olmert have lost the run of themselves. Now go and have a mid-day siesta and give up your oul' sins.
