Blog Entry 1 of 3 "I just don't want to die without a few scars"
Whats to know about me, lemme see... Pleased to meet you, my middle name is Jesus, but I am a Venere worshipping Libra with a Zennish yet Platonicish bent and Muslim last name. The photo for my profile is a photo of my profile, I thought it might be worthwhile, and might show some style. Black is my best loved color. The ebony allways exalts my spirits, giving me pep with its excellence. The sooty, shadowy, starless, slate colour puts the sparkle of elan into my eye, dont ask me why, shhh. I like to know what I dont know. This applies to people and tidbits of knowledge. I try to follow the flow of things, I say let the sisters fate who's scissors none escape lead me by the shoestrings! Its my goal to try to learn as many languages as I can before I bite the dust, Ill make a living out of this, hopefully as a James Bond style superspy, I must. Wine > Martinis. Im multiracial...About a quarter white, then some black about a quarter of that, then some native American, more than a quarter of that, then a bit of Asian too. wooo. I think that in all, life is a puzzle, but not supposed to be a struggle. At times life can baffle or be painful or stressful, but the point is to keep things stable without getting tearful. Every moment is a jewel that you can use for the future if you are skillful. If you are reading this, you should know, I am no Jackal, numbskull, or Rascal...But hey, I should stop, I ramble... I am Billah the Bawdy of Albuquerque =)

The "L" in Lebanon stands for Leopold

Contributed by: Billah Muhammad   on 7/25/2006

I think that many people in the United States are uninformed fully,and ready to quickly pick sides in this stupid little conflict that has already left hundreds of smoking hot bodies laying all over the place, mostly civilians in Lebanon. I have my own ideas about this.

Isreal and Hezbillah and Hamas and all of these homies have been fighting back and forth, horrible stuff, like "yo momma" jokes, but for decades with a lot of people dying.

A few weeks ago, Israel did some artillery shellings ona bunch of people having a picnic and all sorts of people got pissed. Hezbillah only exists because of Israel's aggressive invasion(s) of Lebanon in 1982. Hezbillah was created as a resistance movement against the Israeli people who occupied the country, just like the French Maquis who fought the Nazis underground in France during WW2 or countless other groups made to resist foreign invaders (If China or someone invaded America, wouldn't it be patriotic to fight back from a resistance movement?!).

Hezbillah has got ALOT of infrastructure in southern Lebanon, all of it hidden. They have been there 25 years and they know the area like I know the back of my hand. Israel has had this creeping menace sitting there on their border constantly, lurking, and now they have decided to take them out.

The two Israeli soldiers that were arrested were soldiers. I hope that you all understand that if you are to sign on with the US Military, one of your jobs is to die or get kidnapped, and fighting as a soldier isn't at all just about "patriotism". Soldiers nowadays are professional, paid fighting forces. They are paid to risk their necks, they are paid to fight and kill, efficiently. Getting kidnapped and tortured is risk that is simply part of the job description. It isn't like they kidnapped homeless babies or 12 year old virgins or anything like that. True, joining up is mandatory in Israel, but it is still a Western army.

This label "Terrorism" is being all thrown around thanks to US Policy the last several years under Dubya. We used "terrorism" to invade Afghanistan and Iraq in search of AL Qaeda operatives who blew up the World Trade Center. A lot of people in America still don't realize that Iraq hasn't a connection to either Al-Qaeda or 9/11. Israel is now shouting "terrorism" to the skies as they use their weapons to blow s**t up. The "real" Terrorists, Hezbillah, on the other hand are terrified, as are many times their number of civilians who have been displaced in a population movement that is just as big as what happened in New Orleans from the Hurricane Katrina.

Israel is of course working as they do as an instrument of American policy in the region. The United States just raised a bit of hoo-ball-ooo because they sped up a biga** order of precision missiles to Israelwith a weight I think of 500lbs each. At the same time that the United States is speed shipping weapons to Israel for use on Lebanon, the political schmucks in this country are also sending relief supplies to Lebanon, and they sent a big monetary aid package to Saudi Arabia to shut the rest of the Muslim world up about the Lebanon invasion. ha-ha, politics!

Also, Europe is probably going to now be pulled into the Middle East as they may well have to contribute troops to a United Nations peacekeeping force...Another good thing for American policy if the s**t really hits the fan later. Too bad Israel keeps accidentally killing UN Peacekeepers though.

The reason that I think the politicians are willing tobe so gung ho with other people's lives right nowis becauseI think that the United States mighthave pressured Israel a bit to DO IT ALLREADY because Hezbillah gets ALOT of funding from Iran, all of it under the table of course. Iran cant afford to build nukes and big giant war machines like our American economy allows us, so I believe that a lot of the money that gets collected in taxes from the people of Iran goes to Hezbillah to train people in guerrilla tactics, and Hezbillah has constantly been getting practice in war against Israel.

This is why the United States is allowing this invasion to slide, the hidden Iranian interests vested in Hezbillah...Israel is getting what they want, the chance to exterminate Hezbillah, which like I said has been lurking on their northern border longer than I've been alive. And America just don't like Iran.

The problem with this though is that Israel says that they are fighting Hezbillah, but for all intents and purposes, they are fighting total war against another sovereign nation, Lebanon...They are blowing up the infrastructure and STUFF of a COUNTRY rather than of this terrorist organization. All they are doing though is following America's flawed example used in Afghanistan and Iraq. This isn't a fight against terrorists really, because they are attacking a nation. It's an all out act of war...When you walk across a country's border with an army, and you bomb their cities...You are committing war on a country. "Committing war" on a country is like committing rape or murder times a thousand or more. Everyone seems to forget that a war is made of individuals interacting in a bad way.

Lebanon as a country, under PM Siniora is shaking because the Lebanese regular Army cannot hold back the Israeli's, especially as they are backed by the United States.

And because they are using such slash and burn blow everything up tactics, they are probably killing 10 or 20 civilians for every Hezbillah militant that they get lucky enough to pick off.

"Terrorism" as it is meant by George Bush's administration, is some people who run around and kill civilians with little rinky dink homemade stuff like car bombs or suicide bombs pales in scale of human life lost over a short time span in comparison to the atrocities that can be committed as far as efficient killing goes with all of these wonderful modernFirst world weapons.

Killing is killing, terrorism is terrorism no matter what "tools" you use, or what belief of the people doing it or skin colour.

Dead bodies are dead bodies. Dead stinking babies smell the f**king same no matter their nationality and its just as much human potential squeezed out of existence.

And this whole stupid fight goes way way back in history. How unfortunate it is that "Palestine" sounds so much like the f***ing word "Philistine".

And before the Ashkenazi's of Europe went in force into Israel in 1948, there was an indigenous population there. The names of their villages have all been changed.

The holy land is a region thats allways just been chock full of really pissed off people. It must be something in the water or something.
