And the carnage continues as does the dithering. Some reports are now putting the real death toll at over 150,000. Sad day for humanity and for the ideals of this nation.
Bob, thank you for your observation that Netanyahu is a viper "... but apparently, he is OUR viper"!
This U.S. policy of embracing evildoers who serve our (U.S.) interests has a very long history. I believe it was President Roosevelt (FDR) who made the often-quoted remark about the dictator of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza: “Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch.”!
Somoza was a brutal dictator, but he was an avowed anti-communist, so the U.S. let him have his way with the Nicaraguan people - until the Sandanistas overthrew him.
Thanks, Rob.
Sounds more like LBJ and the timing would be right.
But the pretense of negotiations while the genocide continues is quite unconscionable.

Thanks Sandy. We can only hope for some sanity.
