Stop struggling while I choke you!

The US reaction to the carnage that going on in Gaza, where Israel is almost carpet bombing the region, is beyond belief for its callous indifference. The White House spokesperson has put out a statement urging Hamas to stop firing missiles at Israel! What are they expected to do? Just run for cover? This is like asking a person who is being choked to death, to stop thrashing around. “The United States urges Israel to avoid civilian casualties as it targets Hamas in Gaza”, the statement continues. How more ridiculous can this get? Go ahead, and bomb a place thickly populated as New York City,; but please kill only the bad people? Where is the leadership of USA in world affairs? It is now the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is showing some initiative to getting a cease fire, so that both the parties can come to the table and work out the issues. I sincerely hope that things will be different under President Barack Obama. (Actually one reason Israel is trying to finish off Hamas, is that they know they cannot get ‘blank check’ from USA any more, as Obama is expected to be more ‘fair’ to Palestinians).
