    Bush Administration & Israel/Lebanon: We Don't Give a Damn

    Remember when the U.S. had some credibility in the world? When we tried to stop wars instead of instigating them? When we weren't torturers and kidnappers led by chickenhawks? When the rule of law and the Constitution meant something and our republic had a time-tested system of checks and balances? When our government was run by competent people who tried to solve some of our problems, and didn't want to give away the store to corporations and the super-rich? When the truth was simply the truth, not lies or spin manufactured as "reality?" When the slaughter of civilians in Israel/Lebanon/Gaza would elicit an immediate response from the U.S. Department of State in an attempt to stop the violence and broker a peace deal?

    Boy, I miss Bill.
