Watching the horrific violence unfolding in the Middle East, it’s hard to believe that only six short years ago the land enjoyed an era of unprecedented peace and tranquility, interrupted occasionally by the sound of an Israeli bus rudely exploding. President Clinton’s Oslo Accords proved that the Israeli people and those who want to eradicate them could live together in harmony, provided the Israelis didn’t mind an occasionally exploding bus ride to work. Unfortunately, Israel’s selfish insistence on constantly defending itself has tarnished Bill Clinton’s legacy, and threatens to engulf the entire region in an illegal and unsanctioned-by-France war.
France has a rich history of working collaboratively with others towards a common goal of peace, and have much to offer the Israelis in the way of spiritual advice. Prime Minister Jacques Chirac has strongly condemned Israel’s “completely disproportionate” use of force, urging it to adopt a more diplomatic, and decidedly French approach to ending the bloodshed. But in the height of arrogance, Israel refuses to unconditionally surrender and commence loading its Jews onto boxcars.
There appears to be no end in sight to their extremist arrogance, either. Today, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert arrogantly defied the international symphony of flatulence and vowed to “fight on with full force” against the peace-loving Hezbollah people;. Perhaps he should ask himself exactly what they are fighting for. The return of their soldiers? Freedom? Their very existence?
What point is existence if you’ve lost France's love?
It's a question not only for Israel, but for the United States as well.

I should warn you that Allah is very...ummm...Jooooish looking, in a Godlike way.
I've heard that if you splodeydope yourself among Israelis, your reward is actually to be thrown into a prison cell with 72 horny convicts.
There's a virgin, and there's 72...it all adds up.
Don't pester Yahweh with the minor details, he's very busy Deity.
He's only had one day off since Creation, y'know.
Best of luck with your "Pedestrian Kamikaze" schtick.

Bilgeman, dude!
I had to like go look in this "dictionary" thing for "splodeydope". Actually, it's the Urban Dictionary and like I think you just outted yourself as a Rethug!! The def is:
"A suicide bomber. Frequently seen in conservative blogs".
BUSTED, BILGEMAN!
See we progressyves don't slander our freedom fighting brethren like that because we support *the* troops.(*wink, wink*)

I think the Canadians don't care if they lose Phrance's love. They just condoned Isreal's genocidal attack on Beirut! What has gotten into this nation that once sheltered draft dodgers and the Dixie Chicks?
Oh, stupid me. Bush STOLE that election too!

QUIET, you FOOL! You'll blow my cover!
I'm a deeeep undercover agent for the Dean people, worming my way into the bowels of the Floating Rovian Lie Apparatus with my toilet plunger in one hand and my tire-iron in the other,the lilting strains of "Kumabaya" echoing in my heart.
Once I find the bottom, I'm supposed to blow a hole in it,(how I'm to do that with a toilet plunger and a tire-iron, I'm not too sure, Der Dean and the UberFrauFuehrer weren't too clear about that part), and scuttle the beast from within.
So, pipe down, Lionym, loose lips sink ships...no, wait a minute...loose lips don't sink ships...no that's not it either...
Loose lips make Bill Clinton happy.
Yeah...that must be it.

What is Israel thinking! They should have taken the most important lesson from the french and surrendered back in 1948. Then we wouldnt have this mess!

As long as you don't count the murders of Palestinians in Gaza, the ongoing land theft and occupation of more and more ARAB land despite promises from Israel that they will stop, the hostages and denial of democracy to Arabs, and turning the Palestinian territories into a prison for Arabs, then YES, Israel is defending themselves.

How DARE the wicked, evil Jewmongers try to deny democracy to the Kindly, Victimized Arabs!!
Look at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, Jordan, Gaza, Kuwait, Oman, Syria and Iran: Anywhere the Jews ARENT, Democracy FLOURISHES!!
By the way, didnt the Jews offer Gaza and the West Bank on a silver platter to Arafat at some point? Must have been a dream....
Anyway- Mr. Boggiano- I salute you! You are the first human/cliche hybrid I have ever met. Keep up the good work!

So French-bashing is still considered "clever" here, is it. Even after the guy who christened Freedom Fries changed his mind about Iraq.

Gaza isn't a country, dude, and French bashing's been in since Charlemagne kicked the bucket.

Arrogant Israel? The nerve of the moron who wrote this.
Peace loving Hdezbollah. I guess if that includes pushing every last Jew into the Dead Sea, then you're right, they're peace loving.
I too, hate Bush, but it would be hard imagine a nation as spineless and void of principles as France.
France has 54 million civilians and not a single testacle among them.
I wouldn't buy a French product if it were free. Not that you make anything worth wanting. Italy's wine is far superior, your cars stink. And you're a bunch of pandering anti-semites.
