Jul. 18th, 2006 11:07 pmI wonder what percentage of the US population is aware that Israel is currently busy attacking multiple neighbors. I wonder how many of the people that know even care.

I take three things from this:
1- There is no such thing as an action that will not cause a reaction.
2- Nothing is simple. An action is a culmination of all that comes before it and, once executed, becomes a part of the culmination leading to the next action. Therefore understanding history becomes essential not only to avoid repeating it but to understand the present.
3- The more people one has to answer to the more of a chance there is of choosing an action that will bring about the opposite of the intended goal.
