Failed President Bush Chasing Around Middle East Only Ignites More Fears 
In the Seattle Times November 4 edition, Bush's abysmal failed policies are exposed. Under the caption, "Mideast Allies Express Fears over U.S. Policies" a moment of reality is revealed.
The article then states, "Mideast leaders expressed soaring concern over upheavals across the region that the United States helped ignite through its invasion of Iraq and push for democracy - and fear that the Bush Administration may make things worse."
With civil war raging in Iraq, it is worse, much worse. The same article then states, "The only regional leader to voice unqualified support for the Bush Administration has been Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has gone so far as to say that the Iraq invasion contributed to regional stability."
Could it be that Israel, whose nation has a healthy budget surplus, doesn't want to rock the boat with the deep in debt U.S., which helps subsidize the Israeli government? For whatever reason, it is an inaccurate observation.
Bush, Cheney and Condoleezza Rice have combined to destabilize the Middle East. When Israel bombed Lebanon, destroying that nation's infrastructure and killing thousands of fleeing Lebanese, the U.S. response was to supply Israel with killer cluster bombs to do their dirty work.
This only strengthened Hezbollah. 80,000 Palestinians are in effect confined to a small area in Southern Lebanon. The regular Lebanese government doesn't want them in other areas of Lebanon. The Israelis don't want them back in Israel. That would create a potential tinderbox.
They represent the displaced Palestinians. When Hezbollah supplied schools, hospitals, lodging and food to these individuals of course that is where their loyalty lay.
When Israel dropped the endless bomb parade after 2 Israeli soldiers were captured that may have been the wrong way to handle this difficult crisis.
In any event the U.S. cluster bombs supplied widespread death and destruction.
The U.S. watched on the sidelines as Condoleezza Rice raced around the Middle East, observing it was a challenging situation.
That was the understatement of 2006!
