Politics

I read a lengthy description today of why both Israel and Hamas believe in what they are doing.

Bottom line was, Israel says that it is defending itself against a hostile proto-nation that is resident, for the most part, in Lebanon. Bad news for Lebanon. Hamas says it is defending itself against a nation that wants to eliminate it, which nation it would like to eliminate.

The more of this I hear, the more I want to be an isolationist. And if that isn't possible, I want to pick sides based on benefit to us. Do I really mean that? Hell,I don't know. I'm just tired of wars going on based on emnities that have existed for decades and centuries - and I'm tired of us always, somehow, being involved.
