Every bomb that drops indeed is creating a new middle east, one that is far more violent, extreme, anti-west and anti-israel.

It's very trouble when you start seeing 12 and 13 year old hate another country with a passion for reasons happening many miles away.

The future is in for some turbulent times indeed.

I find it offensive that she would attempt to minimalize the human destruction taking place by equating it with 'giving birth' (destruction vs. creation, death vs. birth) ... not that she's ever given birth herself, just that she has some idealized version in her head, far removed from the reality, of what that warfare must be like.

"Sometimes, God wants us to choose the path of abortion. He personally conveyed this message to my husband the President and it is not within our right to question him on this because the Almighty moves in mysterious ways."

Birth pangs, Condi? During most births, the baby doesn't try to kill the mother, doctor, and nurse on its way out!

It's more like a sustained explosive ejaculation but I guess that's not quite maternal enough.
Or perhaps a 40 year old abortion left on the table to be pounded with disproportionate vigour on the chest on those rare occasions when an abortion as a bedfellow is not seen as a political asset by Israel.
Is there any picture anywhere of Condi holding a baby? Or is that politically just a guy thing.
So Rwanda was like a Cesarean ?
