#1 To little. To late. To much (22% to be exact.) The comment by Hansen is telling at least he is an honest hater of all thing US and Israeli. These are cosmetic changes. Bush went to the UN. Bush stated what was required of the UN. The UN failed at every opportunity it was given to do the right an honorable things in the War against terror.

So FOAD. The US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. Sooner rather than later.

#4 Don't be taken by it. It's just noises.

Backdrop:

Tel Aviv attack prompted celebratory shooting on Gazaâs streets.

Early Saturday, Israeli forces arrested killerâs two brothers and local imam as accomplices at Deir al-Ghoson village in Tulkarm district, placing it under curfew. Israel had intended handing Tulkarm over to Palestinian security control next week.

Note regression to Arafatâs method of focused terror strikes when peace moves afoot. Rice calls on Abbas to take immediate, credible steps to find those responsible and bring them to justice following Israeli demand that he start cracking down on terrorists

Palestinian Authority has begun shopping for heavy weaponry â in contravention of all previous peace accord commitments with Israel, pledges to US, UK and roadmap provisions.

FM Lavrov admitted Friday Moscow has given Palestinians âmilitary machines,â will provide more including armored personnel carriers now that "Palestinians have proved they are in control of situation."

Palestinians received positive responses to similar bids from several countries, made although no Palestinian terrorist groups dismantled and most reject ceasefire.

Sharon government has not yet protested potential upgrade of Palestinian armament in Washington, with would-be suppliers, Mid East Quartet or Palestinian Authority.

Day after Bush-Putin summit in Slovakia, Russian energy minister Rumyantsev flew to Tehran for Saturday signing of nuclear fuel accord. Moscow has undertaken to complete Bushehr reactor core by end of 2005. Bush had hoped to dissuade Putin from this step, but Russian president is in closer accord on Iran with Chirac and Schroeder than with US president.

So, as you see, things go on as usual. Some people say that I've become rather cynical in the span of a decade. It's not cynicism, I just got better at classifications: It quacks like a duck, it waddles like a duck, it's a duck.

#5 Bomb-a-rama, you can't change a duck into, say, platypus. Goo-fi or not.
