11. Early on in the Israeli war on Lebanon, I caught part of a bush speech
where he was promising all kinds of aid to Lebanon for rebuilding. The words he used were oddly familiar -- and then it came to me. These were the exact same words he used to assure both Iraqis and the residents of New Orleans: "We will help you rebuild!"
Yeah, right. It's just empty rhetoric to appease the domestic audience, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with reality. And in the event that some agency of the U.S. government actually DOES put together some sort of aid package for Lebanon, if I were Lebanon I would tell the U.S. to take their "aid" and stuff it.
