Poor guy
April 16, 2002
Poor Colon Powell (that is how he pronounces it so that’s how it should be spelled). He’s over there running between two sides trying to patch things up when it’s blatantly obvious even to the most inept individuals that his efforts will be viewed with disdain by both sides. Talking isn’t the most effective tool when people have been blown to bits by tanks, snipers, suicide bombs, and a whole bunch of crazy shit like that. I appreciate how someone is finally getting into the nitty gritty and trying to put an end to this senseless (to me anyway) violence.
Will his effort produce fruit? Arafat denounced ONE bombing yesterday and now he expects Sharon to unconditionally pull out of the Palestinian controlled towns. Sharon (and Bush for that matter) wants Arafat to take immediate actions to stop any more bombings. Arafat says not until they pull out. Sharon says not until he stops them.

Meanwhile idiot guerrillas in Lebanon and Syria are making idiot attacks on their borders. Will they stop just because Powell has asked their respective governments to end it? I strongly doubt it.
We live in interesting times.
