Vitriol Espresso "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis

Is it just me or has the world completely gone insane? It seems as if terrorists have made headway. If you don't agree with someone the only solution is to blow them up, disfigure them, threaten them with acid attacks, or some other similarly violent end. It used to be that nobody bowed to terrorist pressures, but not anymore. Now we're supposed to put our guns down and let anybody walk all over us. And this is a worldwide sort of thing.

All that said, Barack Obama is about to make the mistake of the millenia. Obama links Israel peace plan to 1967 borders deal. This is a Saudi Arabian (who share no borders with Israel, they just come up with this crap outta the kindness of their shrivelled up hearts) plan from 2002 that gives war-annexed areas back to the countries that lost them by attacking Israel in the first place. Does anybody /really/ believe that the violence will stop if Israel bows to Saudi Arabia's demands? I sincerely hope not. Because the Saudis have been lying to everyone for generations. Even to themselves.

Barack Obama is liking this plan for some reason even though it's been rejected by Israel since it was concieved. Now, think with me for a moment. Barack Obama won't officially take office until January 20th, 2009. That leaves Israel with a VERY small amount of time to do what they need to do to respond. If they do it. They might just tell the United States to fuck ourselves (and who could blame them) and go on being one of the richest countries in the world. Or...they could pre-emptively strike with the backing of the remaining Bush presidency and toss a giant spanner in the Islamic agenda.

We shall see...
