Major escalation

By Creature

I've been trying to figure how to tackle the escalation of violence in the Middle East when suddenly it hit me -- let CNN do it.



Has Israel overreacted? [perhaps] Has the Bush administration been slow in responding? [yes] Has the war in Iraq only served to weaken the United States in dealing with all this? [yes] Is the Middle East on the verge of all out war? [perhaps] Have the Israelis thumbed their nose at Bush's call for moderation? [yes, but what's the back-room deal?] Will anger toward Israel put our troops at further risk? [I'll put money on it] Is the whole damn thing one big cluster fuck? [ __ ]
