Of course that's all pure fantasy.shadhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933715508568783990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31210316.post-1153936530523065012006-07-26T12:55:00.000-05:002006-07-26T12:55:00.000-05:00What's happening.

The Arab countries should muster their forces and tell the world that they will intervene on behalf of the Lebanese people by next Monday if no ceasefire is in place by then. And for the next Rome conference, every participant should receive a folder of 25 color pictures of Lebanese civilians killed and Israeli civilians killed. These folders have to remain open and in plain sight for the whole time of the fruitful exchange of views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
