"The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't life controls you" -- Anthony Robbins
"I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be the consequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greater pleasures" -- Michel de Montaigne "Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure...they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it" -- Jeremy Bethman
Absolutely.. stunning picture (I mean the photograph itself, not the framed drawing.. by the way, can anyone identify it? I think that's a print of pretty well-known drawing, perhaps Escher..?). I had noticed the picture frame on a different (wide-angle) photograph of what must have been the same wall but it was so small I first thought it was a sheet of corrugated metal -- perhaps the exhaust of an air conditioning unit or something similar. Warfare in 2006 is so .. mental. Absurd. Crazy.
do a quick search (on the left sidebar)
for oil spill or oil slick pax
I think Hizbollah didn't expect Israel would over-react to the magnitude they did. They probably expected the usual day's bombing, and then some prisoner swaps. No doubt about it they do carry some of the blame for this. However, I think it's naiive to put it all on them. Especially with reports that the whole attack was planned, and they were just looking for an excuse.
Hezbollah’s new claim that Israel was about to attack Lebanon anyhow is baseless, and is just a PR “damage control” effort to reconstruct the shuttered image of the organization. Maybe some villagers fall for that (I hope not), but the truth is that the IDF was completely unprepared for such a military maneuver, which explain on the ground it relatively low gains. Between a continues conflict in Gaza and the West Bank and a new PM who was trying to deliver another unilateral withdraw from the occupied territories – opening a new front along a border that was calm and peaceful for 6 years just when tourist season is wrapping up and school year begins while the economy is finally picking up after years of slow performance… WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA. Come on – give me a break…. peace!
i don't have to listen to Hizbolla reports to get this information. Over in the US, people are saying all this was basically a "dressed rehersal" to see how successful a US attack on Iran would be.
and give me a break. you're talking as if bombing the airport, apartment buildings, power station is some sort of natural response to an attack on military targets. it's obviously not, which also implies that there would have to be other causes that triggered such a "reaction".
There is a MOUNTAIN of evidence piling up that Israel has been planning the invasion of Lebanon for a year now. You give us a break gila. Israel has not withdrawn from any of the occupied territories, that is simply a LIE (one of too many lies) told by Israel that only Americans believe. The Israelis are lying, they intend to steal the rest of Palestine and Annex it as part of Israel, that's why those illegal settlements continue to devour Palestine. The jewish terrorists have no intention of honoring any international demands or resolutios of laws. Israel will not stop its terrorism until its disarmed and shackled with paying war reparations.
You give us a break gila. Watch this documentary about Israels expansion colonialism and intentions to annex the rest of Palestine and then try and believe your' own lies: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7828123714384920696

Your readers may find this interesting:
George Galloway Respect MP warned last week that plans to use United Nations (UN) troops to disarm Hizbollah and patrol the border with Syria will spell disaster and lead to more conflict. The Respect MP was in the Lebanese capital to do a special edition of his weekly radio show live from Beirut. Over three million people tuned in to hear him defend the resistance and condemn Israel’s war. Speaking at a meeting in Beirut, Galloway argued that the Lebanese government should resist pressure to disarm Hizbollah. He said it is “important that the Lebanese government does not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. When you win it’s important to act like you won - and not offer the enemy what they failed to achieve on the battlefield. “Lebanon should demand the enemy leave its land, air and sea.” He added, “The impact of Israel’s defeat is reverberating around Ehud Olmert and his allies George Bush and Tony Blair.” “The anti-war movement has, over the last five or six weeks, been protesting and marching, demanding the recall of parliament (UK). “We have shown our solidarity with the Lebanese people who have suffered so much during the Israeli, British and US aggression. “Thousands have died or have been injured. Billions of dollars of damage has been done to essential infrastructure - to schools, hospitals, the electricity grid, water, bridges and roads. “We extend our congratulations to Lebanon on a great and historic victory against this aggression. “I congratulate Hizbollah, who have achieved a great victory, and in particular Hassan Nasrallah, whose name is ringing across the world.” But he warned there are many dangers in the US plan for a “new Middle East”. Lots more .........

Hi!, excellent your Blog. It visit very much during Israel's assaults the Lebanon. Desire of any heart that the nightmare through that they lived finishes soon. Friend on August 31 celebrates the BlogDay, in honor to it I you am going to connect to my Blog.

fink ---- your great photographic work continues to show us the things censored press and media will not. Maybe one day those who seem to live another planet where reason is lacking and hate prevails ( i mention no names ) will wake up .
And could be the masses of the 'sheep' found in this extreme controlled world will see that they have been mere pawns in a very dangerous game ...
Can we all please vow to have national strikes in our respective countries if that madman george bush and benyamin netanyahu proceed with their insane scheme to bomb iran? These people and their band of ugly plotters should all be incarcerated and treated to Abu Ghraib style humiliation...can we please have a world without these people???
Sam i couldnt agree more . Have been saying this would work long time now .
BUT you see sadly most are egocentric and fear of their life style is what stops them plus they have been brought into line by another fear . The stage managed mini bombings here and there "work wonders " These madmen are real and to them a few lives lost here and there mean nothing. It gives them the fear element then control over the masses We now have the 4th Reich and Big Brother as in Orwells 1984 ... Just keep on speaking out without fear your self Sam Every little helps against these True terror divide and rule tactics . |
