Don't want to look like a 'monster' or anything....

You can make this stuff up, but the problem is that fiction is supposed to make sense.....
> JERUSALEM, May 23 -- One of the key political moderates in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's cabinet deplored the Israel army's offensive in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, saying TV images reminded him of the suffering of his family during the Holocaust.
>In stark and emotional language, Deputy Prime Minister Yosef Lapid, who also holds the Justice ministry portfolio and is himself a Holocaust survivor, told Israeli radio that the country risked further international condemnation if the army continued its campaign of pursuing Palestinian gunmen, demolishing homes and expelling civilians from the heart of the populous Rafah refugee camp.
>"On TV I saw an old woman rummaging through the ruins of her house looking for her medication, and it reminded me of my grandmother who was thrown out of her house during the Shoah" or Holocaust, said Lapid in a radio interview after the weekly cabinet session.
>"We look like monsters in the eyes of the world," he added. "This makes me sick."
If we don't want the world to look on us as 'monsters', perhaps we should disarm, disband and hope and trust in the goodwill of the UN and other freedom loving, 'moderates'.
The article continued...
"The destruction of homes must stop because it is inhuman, un-Jewish, and causes us great harm around the world," Lapid said. "In the end we'll be kicked out of the U.N., we'll be put on trial in The Hague [site of the International Court of Justice], and no one will want to have anything to do with us."
Before 911, calling to remove the US from the 'UN' suggested one was a fruitcake.
Since 911 the curtain has been lifted, Buchanan-Duke-McVeigh paleoliths and Dean-Green-JFKerry machine leftists are united. Before 911 they were untied.
As a conservative I hate the label 'neocon'. I despise those in the previous paragraph. Give me a neocon nametag.
