Breaking News

MSNBC is taking the fast track to get on my shit list. No wait...they are already there and there is no turning back. My question is this. Why do they put in large bold font, "BREAKING NEWS" Israel is bombing Lebanan, or Hezbollah is attacking Israel. This is not breaking news, Arabs and Jews have been going at it for longer than any one can remember. Even people who don't know what this is about knows that their is confilction in the Middle East. "BREAKING NEWS" would be if one side actually won. "BREAKING NEWS" would be if they came to a permanent agreement. By the way, since I can't seem to get off the subject, Bush commented that the real reason the fighting is going on is that of "terrorism." OH MY GOODNESS! BUSH JUST SOLVED THE PROBLEM! ....bullshit. He needs to ask himself why there is terrorism to get to the real problem. The real problem is debateable...call it religion, call it defining a home, call it anything but simply "terrorism." He is so narrow-minded, these two states will not see peace, fighting happens, it defined our country, it defined our borders and every other border between two nations. The simple fact that our borders were defined in the 18th and 19th century is completely irrelevant. I'm not saying let them fight, but just stop looking at the problem as a terrorist problem. Hezbollah officials won the governed election, that's what they voted for...how can you call that extremist.
Bottom line....religion once again tops reason...a reason that would end wars, and undefine borders...religion is conflict.
