Yes, that sounds like the older brand of tory. . . an offshoot of the 'protestant ethic'. Or rather, the disparity between individuals wealth represents the level of effort 'one' has made in life.

. . . . im guessing that this is a cross between a native idea about the white colonial conquerors, mingled with some christian bible reference. Therefore the white brother = all of us that are white are fighting each other as well as killing other colored brothers. As the 'poem' goes on he/she mentions feeding Baal - im not certain but i think its somekind of biblical ref to the devil . . . So according to the poster we are all fighting to serve somekind of ultimate evil one!!! Iv seen this stuff on another forum - hence my attempt to guess Whatever . . . its not my cup of tea

Argus; in summary and response to your questions . . .as in the order of yor presentation. the promise not to bomb the north for 48hrs. These are not objections but reformative measures . . . shameful reformative measures. Huanitarian injustices = a law unto themselves based upon irrational emotions and not fact = injustice and much physical harm - check web sites . . .we are speakng enormos figures here (cannot remember them myself at this moment). Nonetheless, terrific figures mate . . . what a shame . . .after all these yrs lebanon managed to muster up the balls to kidnap 2 and only 2 Israeli people that have an influence in the many inhumane treatments of Israeli prisoners. . . . yeah great . . .like i said we are speaking of huge numbers here! Ohhhhh and 8 killed . . . well yes ermmm you seem to have forgotten just how many have been murdered by Israel - how convenient . . . How many kids were slaughtered yesterday not to mention the other innocent civilians. And not to mention the murders that have occured since the 'kidnapping' . . .thats if you see it that way as opposed to stepping up the presure to release the hundreds of innocent people imprisoned by Israel . . based upon suspicion, religion and political allegiance of which is NOT illegal in their terms.

Today Israel broke another promise (I thought yesterdays "error" was bad enough). nobody is policing Israel - Israel is implicitly tied to the US in its economic interests. Hence other countries will not raise real objections to Israel's behaviour. Lebanan refused to speak to Rice . . .the messenger of . . .ermm . .well . . . peace. The reason is simply because they turned the pages of history back to 1948 (they could have gone further) to see just how trustworthy such peace talks have manifested in the past. Alas. Hezbollah has always been pretty popular with the public despite differences between sectors of the public. Its concern is with humanitarian injustices reaped by Israel. For example imprisoning hundreds of people who dare object to Israel's subjective interpretatons of events. perhaps we will do well to remember how this all blew up with 1) Hezbollah taking two israeli people hostage. Not hundreds as the Israeli's have done. 2) They intended to use these captured people (the last straw) as a measure to negotiate the release of many untried, unconvicted peoples . . . We would also do well to remember that it took the most pathetic form of excuse to invade and murder 100's of iraqs' people. As well . . . Afganistan . . . a game of 'blind man's bluff' if you will, in the hunt for so called targeted terrorists. Now if we were to go back further in history - well prior to sept 11th, we might just get a real story about the role of the US in this game. In other words . . . why it has NOT STOPPED Israel bombing the living daylights out of Lebonan and is doing everything possible to prolong the damage.
