According to al-Jazeera, the UN's Middle East policy is "failing".
NO MOTHERFUCKING WAY! *headslap* THAT'S WHY THERE'S A BUNCH OF WARS AND PROBLEMS THERE, ISN'T IT? SHIT, I NEVER KNEW!
Admittedly, I know more than a lot of people on Israel/Palestine, but STILL. WE ARE IN A WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I know we're not the UN, but it's practically just a rubber-stamp body for the US, and it hasn't stopped us yet.
And to be honest, I think we could go all the way back to the late 1800s and say that Ottoman rule didn't help the Middle East, and neither did making all the people into pawns in the Great Game. If you ever wonder why Lebanon has so many problems, go find out what France wanted when they started drawing boundaries! Seriously! I love the remnants of colonialism! It's all "We don't get along, so rather than do the reasonable thing and partition, in recognition of the fact that the colonial boundaries here are stupid, we're gonna kill each other because this land ain't your land! Game on!"
I've been up far too long already, and the day is young. Count yourselves lucky that I probably can't spam because I have something like five hours of meetings today.
Also, I have no love for the new logged in page and cannot wait for the inevitable "Oh shit, you didn't like it? Well, this is how you turn it off. You mean you really don't like it?" post.

If I didn't do most of my el-jaying at work, I'd go for the perma login, but I have this fear of leaving myself logged in on computers other people can get into. Like, I'm sure that IT knows that I'm trying to figure out a bunch of things they don't WANT to know about, like about corsetry and such, but that's a far cry from finding out that I"m permanently logged in to hot-n-sexy-dwarf-chicks.com or something.
Dear god, I hope that's not a real website.
