"And the irony is ..."

All we seem to be able to do these days is read, throw things at the tv – and drive ourselves even crazier when the truth is so obvious to those of us who live in the Middle East – there is no justice nor truth when Israel is involved - that state sponsor of terror, and damn anyone who tries to point it out.

"Anti-semite!" someone screams from afar – now that's a misnomer if ever there was one, for the simple reason that the word "semite/semitic" (long manipulated by Zionists for political grandstanding) was a term coined in the 18th century by a French anthropologist to refer to a group of languages spoken by the tribal peoples of Arabia – Arabic and Hebrew amongst them.

This morning I was thinking of letting you know about Juan Cole – a professor of Middle East and South Asian History at University of Michigan – and a respected analyst on Middle East Politics, when I received the following: http://WWW.informationclearinghouse.info/article14159.htmً

Juan Cole's weblog "Informed Comment" http://www.juancole.com seems to be a common web stop for many of the world's best journalists….why can't we have people like this as leaders of the so-called civilized world?? Maybe it's because he does not see the irony the way Bush and his cronies see it:

"See the irony is, what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.” -- George W. Bush
