Thanks for playing, idiot. It did get worldwide press, everywhere except the U.S. Israel has survived so far because it has unqualified support of the U.S. to keep its economy afloat and to keep it armed to teeth despite the what rest of the world thinks. Though if it loses another war like last summer, even that isn't going to let it survive.

Israel locally like America globally was strong enough to force its will against reality; but reality was just waiting for exhaustion. Now it has come: it would be nice to if all you turkeys who supported Bush were the ones to suffer, but instead all Americans are going to suffer including Dixie Chicks and everyone else who told you so.
