Follow your bliss

Another wallpaper for you all. Thanks to colourfilter for the texture. This one is now the wallpaper on my desktop ^^

On to last night's broadcast! The focus over the past couple of days on all of the news channels has been the attack in Qana, leaving at least 54 people dead and 17 of those children. Israel is sorry, they didn't target that building and it was a mistake. I don't think I can do anything other than roll my eyes. They keep trying to justify it, keep saying that they told everyone to leave. Not everyone is able to get out. Yeah, it's war, yeah, it's sad and bloody, but seriously, Israel is sounding a little too high and mighty for my tastes. You fucked up, show some serious remorse.

Also, I'm completely and utterly tired of the US blocking all attempts at creating a ceasefire. A sustainable ceasefire is what they want. Well, in order to get a sustainable ceasefire, YOU NEED A CEASEFIRE. American diplomacy is doing jack all right now, and until there is a ceasefire, there is no way to continue the peace process. Stopping the bombs and civilian deaths, generally a good way to jumpstart peacemaking. The US wants a "comprehensive plan" that includes a sustainable ceasefire, the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel returning Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners, the return of occupied territories/disputed land (Golan Heights), the return of the Israeli soldiers, peacekeepers in the area, the deployment of the Lebanese army in Southern Lebanon and so on and so forth. The only thing that the US refuses to agree on is an "immediate" ceasefire. They have a veto in the Security Council, so if everyone else agrees to it, they can just say, "Yeeeah.... No. Israel, you are free the blow the shit out of Hezbollah/Lebanon." Vetos are the worst idea EVER.

So, Castro has ceded power for the first time in what, 47 years? He's nearly 80, sweet mother of god. Maybe he's a robot like Bob Barker. And you know what? I really don't care a whole lot that he's ceded power while having surgery. Until the man dies, I really hold no opinion or interest one way or another. I'm more interested in what Mel Gibson has to say. Sad, isn't it?
