I've been pondering what to say if anything about New Times columnist Roger Cohen, his advocacy of military action against Syria and his first concern, which seems to be Israel.

First of all, all the Jews on earth can't fit in there, especially if they expect affluent western lifestyles, which they do, and mainly have. But more to the point Israel meant the displacement of people who had been on that land for centuries, and it is an affront also to the rising up of oppressed and colonized-by-the-west-nations.

SYRIA, for Israel, is a conundrum.

MY kids did not get beat up.
Roger, listen to me: People are sick and tired of wars. They are not going to tolerate another war of choice. Please, Roger. Please shut the fuck up.
