Somebody else's problem

Just about every country agrees that there should be an international force in Lebanon monitoring their borders.

Problem is, none of the major players are willing to send their own troops into Lebanon. One European official basically said that everyone is willing to help as long as they don't have to do the actual helping IN Lebanon.

The U.S.? "HAHAHA You're funny. We like you, but not that much."
NATO? "Overstretched. Sorry."
Britain? "Overcommitted. Sorry."

I'm sure those answers have a lot to do with all three's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan - our two other failing theaters. You're doing a heck of a job, Georgie.

Germany's answer, though, takes the cake. They'll send their troops there, if it's OK with Hezbollah.

Bush may be dumb, but that was clearly said without any sort of forethought as to how it would sound.

War, war, war, and more war.
