Lileks: Give them the Jews and theyll leave us alone
If the Dems retake the House, Rep. Dingell (D-Mi) will chair the Energy and Commerce Committee. They handle oil and stuff. Well, the guys with the oil will love this:
"I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah; I don't take sides for or against Israel," said Dingell on a local TV show. Perhaps hes on to something. Nothing works in the Middle East anymore, after all; perhaps utter neutrality is our best options. But lets review the others first.
The US continues to support Israel. This is becoming difficult, since many important nations with well-dressed, urbane spokesmen have decided that Israel should stop its strange policy of firing rockets on UN-run stem-cell research facilites for no apparent reason. These diplomats will tolerate a little wartime madness we all have our moments, after all but enough is enough, and now they must go home and sit in the basement and wait for more rocket attacks. If theyre good, they will get a snack.
