#1 IIUC, Israel did not use bunker-buster bombs to try and damage the gzan-egypt tunnels complex, leading to a less-than-expected, only partial shutdown. Meaning they are saving those bombs for more important targets?

#2 Excellent post, thanks UP. Certainly confirms my thinking with regard to Rice. It is tragic that we cannot take further advantage of Bolton's knowledge and expertise?

#3 Not bad but he shows he is unable to think (or at least talk, he has not the same freedom of saying what he thinks that an average person) out of the box.

1) The UN must go. It is an intrinsic failure because its fundamentals: one state, one vote no matter how unimportant the state, how unrepresentative or corrupt, finacially or morally the government. That, could perhaps havbe been acceptable if UN's role had beeeen limited to the one of honest broker and place for warring states to meet. It is not when it gets power to vote sanctions and tries to pass as the representative of humankind and aspires to world government.


2) There will no be peace in Middle East as long as Palestinians can spend their money and time on war (and tell 3i want a lot of children in order to make them suicde bombres") because we pay to feed them and their children. The day, every child, every weapon means tightening another notch, ten notches more if a Kassam hits anything (they pay for damages), the day they are too busy earning their food for thinking in terrorism then there will be peace. All international aid to Palestinans should be cut off and the only question should be if it is reduced by 20% every year or if, like I favor, we cut it right now. Also Ifind deeply immoral that so muvh aid is squandered on the Palestians when there are populations who are much worse and recive much less.
