And you lecture me when you say that Russia is an Asian nation.. LOL back at you. (...) Your duplicitious words point to your hypocritical attitudes.

Time to get real ... and calm down. I said "*I* view Russia very much as an Asian country. Man, if that's Europe, God help us," and went on to explain that this is more mentality than geography. This is a demonstrable fact. So keep your shirt on.
Bush is an asshole, no kidding. However, there is
no alternative at present to the US for the knocking together of heads -- the only thing that could
possibly force a peace settlement (i.e. compromise -- anathema to the Middle East).
I'm not saying it's
going to happen. I'm saying it's the only possibility. What other country could possibly be decisive? You can't answer that because you know as well as I do that no such country exists.
If the US were really to cut Israel adrift, I fear that country would disappear in short order in a huge bloodswarm of vengeance, especially now that its arrogance and stupidity have raised hostile passions to such fever pitch.
Really, brien, rather than getting bitchy you should respond with a counter-argument a trifle more concrete than "get some balls" and "Europeans have to broker their own peace".
That's about as realistic as calling on Europe to repeal the law of gravity.
