Peace In Our Time?

(1) Pigs can fly? (2) Monkeys can write novels? (3) Fish can walk? (4) Chickens can get tooth decay? (5) Democrats don’t want our tax money? (6)Elvis is not really dead? (7) The Palestinians just want to get along with the Jews and be friends?

Which of the seven items above will come true first? I vote for #6. Numbers #1 through #4 are a 50-50 chance. Number #5 is at 1:5 odds. Number #7 is a complete, total impossibility due to the nature of the universe. You see, matter and anti-matter cannot occupy the same space-time location without destroying everything around that spot and leaving a black hole as a reminder.

C’mon folks! The Paleo-freaks cannot even get along with themselves for more than five minutes without taking a sword to their own pointy little heads. They are the wretched refuse of the Arab world. The “red-headed-stepchild”, if you will. No one wants them in their country. They don’t even want themselves in their own country.

They stink, they fight, they’re stupid, they are criminals and they’re breeding like cockroaches. They’re only good at two things: (1) fighting and (2) fornicating. Their total contribution to world society in all of recorded history is ... [NULL]. If you added up the IQ of every person in Gaza, you wouldn’t have enough intelligence to power a tumble-bug.

I have a solution though and all I need is your help in convincing the powers-that-be to help out. You see, all we need is a GIANT rocket ship and a really good marketing company. Here’s the plan: we start an advertising campaign telling everyone in the West Bank and Gaza about the vacation spot recently discovered on the planet Mercury (the dark side, of course). We play it up and convince everyone that paradise awaits. Then we suddenly announce that the EVIL JOOZ have invaded Mercury and taken over Paradise. We ask for volunteers and colonists to go to Mercury and retake the Promised Land from the Zionist Pigs. Free tickets for anyone willing to take jihad to the colony. They’ll never suspect a thing. C’mon! It could work. Let’s give it a chance! COLONIZE MERCURY TODAY! STEP RIGHT UP, MISTER PALEOSIMIAN. FREE AIR FARE! TWENTY VIRGINS FOR ALL COLONISTS. AK-47’s FOR EVERYONE!

Accord Is Signed by Palestinians to Stop Feuding
_{MECCA, Saudi Arabia (NY TIMES) - February 9, 2007}

The main rival Palestinian factions agreed late Thursday to form a government of national unity aimed at ending a wave of violence between them and an international boycott.

From Mecca, an Invitation to Form a Government (February 9, 2007) The agreement, signed here in Islam’s holiest city under Saudi auspices, appeared likely to end, at least for now, weeks of fighting that had ravaged the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Still, it seemed to stop short of meeting the demands of the international community for resuming relations and support for the Palestinian Authority.

The accord, signed by Khaled Meshal of Hamas and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president and leader of Fatah, its main rival, is the first time that the two parties have agreed to share authority. It sets out principles for a coalition government, like the distribution of ministerial portfolios, but leaves many of the details for later.

Israel and international powers have said that they would lift their boycott of the Palestinian government imposed after the victory by the militant group Hamas a year ago only if it agreed to three conditions: recognize Israel, renounce violence against Israel and abide by previous agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.

The Mecca accord addresses only the last of those and does so rather imprecisely, promising “respect” for previous agreements between the Palestinians and Israel. In Washington, a State Department spokesman, Tom Casey, said, “The international community has made it clear that in order to be able to have a broader relationship with the Palestinian Authority government, that those principles are going to have to be met.” He added that officials were still studying the accord.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet with Mr. Abbas and Israel’s prime minister, Ehud Olmert, on Feb. 19 in Jerusalem to work on a broader peace initiative.  In Mecca, Mr. Abbas read out a statement during the signing ceremony where he re-appointed Ismail Haniya as prime minister and called on the new government to abide by “international law” and agreements signed by the Palestine Liberation Organization. This appeared aimed at appeasing concerns of the international community.

The British foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett, called the agreement “interesting” but said it would require further study.  In the streets of Gaza, Palestinians broke out in celebration as the agreement was being announced, with members of Hamas and Fatah firing into the air. Hamas officials in Mecca bristled at the insistence of accepting Israel, insisting that any concessions they offered would not be enough.

“I wonder why the issue of recognizing Israel is the key to everything?” Ghazi Hamad, spokesman for the Hamas government, said earlier Thursday. “We are interested to end the siege but not at any cost.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
