So who is “Leading the World”?
Beirut, Lebanon, July 18, 2006
The Lebanese people have the right to determine their future, free from domination by a foreign power. The Lebanese people have the right to choose their own parliament this spring, free of intimidation. And that new government will have the help of the international community in building sound political, economic, and military institutions, so the great nation of Lebanon can move forward in security and freedom. (Applause.)
Today I have a message for the people of Lebanon: All the world is witnessing your great movement of conscience. Lebanon’s future belongs in your hands, and by your courage, Lebanon’s future will be in your hands. The American people are on your side. Millions across the earth are on your side. The momentum of freedom is on your side, and freedom will prevail in Lebanon. (Applause.)

State of the Union: A Strong America Leading the World
White House, January 31, 2006
—
The outlines of an American-Israeli consensus have begun to emerge, in which Israel would continue to bombard Lebanon for another week or so to degrade the capabilities of the Hezbollah militia, according to officials of the two countries.
…
Israel had made clear that it does not want Ms. Rice to begin a peacemaking effort yet, and the Bush administration has, for the time being, gone along with an Israeli request for more latitude. President Bush and American officials have resisted joining other world leaders in calling for an immediate cease-fire, reflecting the Israeli view that reaching a truce before a significant number of Hezbollah’s missiles have been destroyed would leave Israel vulnerable to more attacks.

I am confused. Now who IS leading here?
Yes, I know r’giap, it is paul celan and you are right to understood that the Master has changed hands. That was my reasoning for posting it.
We have entered the threshold of Madness…
Third of Lebanon casualties are children, says UN
Nearly one third of all casualties in the Lebanon-Israel conflict have been children, according to the United Nations’ emergency relief co-ordinator, Jan Egeland.
A pox on the house of Bush!
WHO CANNOT HEX CANNOT HEAL
Hear me hungry mother, who sleeps in the earth
Inhuman redeemer of blood ill-spilt, awaken and hear my cry
your daughter who has not murdered without cause, yet has murdered
I summon stir and call you up.
And with you, he of winter cold, who eats the bones of the dead
Hear my words, father, and come to our aid
I summon stir and call you up to aid our siblings who have called you
Who have blown the horn of Herne.
They know all is lost and have laid their own lives and safety aside
to speak for those who can no longer speak on their own behalf
And in their name, I lay this curse upon the House of Bush,
The House Of Cheney, and all who would profit from the blood of War.
May you be unable to shield your eyes from what you do, attacking others as the hired assassins you are.
May you bleed drop for drop the blood you have spilt without honoring the hungry mother.
May you face the glamour of my will, seeing your own mother, father, brother, sister, daughter, son, and spouse in every face you machine gun, beat with your club or spray with your pepper spray, or Chem Burn with your weapons, and with the bombs you drop on every village.
You may defend yourself, but each unprovoked act will bring this curse upon you.
I send upon you the restless voices of the Chapayukis, who fly from their lairs on wings of owls
To torment you and steal your dreams, until you fall down with madness.
I send upon you the restless voices of the Chapayukis, who fly from their lairs on wings of owls
To kill and maim, one for one, your ideals in equal measure to the destruction of your own hands.
For each man and woman must live with their own actions and cannot give their fate to another.
May your hate consume you.
May you be eaten from the inside out.
May you know the purpose of this curse and know the justice of it.
And may that knowledge turn you from your ways.
I accept the terms of the hungry mother, should I one day be as destructive as you to kill and maim for profit.
I call upon the minds of people, those you oppress and destroy.
I call upon the body of the earth which you eat and despise to rise up against you.
And the spirits of the earth to speak to you in visions and prophesy.
For every child who falls in Lebanon , or anywhere, I ask that a child of yours lives to hate you.
Lives only to right the wrongs you have wrought.
For every disease and pestilence that has resulted from your actions to destroy the earth,
I ask that pox be laid upon you.
One that will not kill, but will make you suffer long and hard.
I ask that your very body, made of the body of the hungry mother, turn against you.
May you feel her pain, her poison rivers become the poison in your own blood.
I ask that when you set fire to the poor collecting spilled gasoline that so many of your own corporate officials be consumed by the same spirit of flame.
In this act I bind your fate to the citizens of your countries
In this act I bind your fate to the earth upon which you walk and can never never escape.
You may defend yourself, but each unprovoked act will bring this curse upon you.
I send upon you the restless voices of the Chapayukis, who fly from their lairs on wings of owls
To torment you and steal your dreams, until you fall down with madness.
I send upon you the restless voices of the Chapayukis, who fly from their lairs on wings of owls
To kill and maim, one for one, your own families in equal measure to the destruction of your own hands.
For each man and woman must live with their own actions and cannot give their fate to another.
May your hate consume you.
May you be eaten from the inside out.
May you know the purpose of this curse and know the justice of it.
And may that knowledge turn you from your ways.
I accept the terms of the hungry mother, should I one day be as destructive as you to kill and maim for profit.
And should the voice of mercy touch your soul, and gentle Yomommuli buzz in your ear
Should you turn and be unable to beat and spray the innocent, rape and pillage, destroy and plunder
Should you grow a soul from your witnessing of the suffering of your works
Should you hold the arm of another, preventing your fellow from killing and beating without provocation
May this curse be averted, and blessing be upon your mind and lips.
May the flowers of blessing rain down on you.
And for every one of you who opens the gates and releases the Arab to freedom,
may you live long and happy lives, filled with abundance of love and wealth
And may you die a happy death in the arms of those you love.
I accept the terms of the hungry mother, should I one day be as brave and honorable as you I shall also know the honey of the sacred bee.
Sacred Butterfly, whisper this prophesy to them, let them know the dread consequences of their actions, that they may turn their hearts.
And guard the blessed children, who have suffered at the hands of these
Keep them safe and bring their quick release to freedom, that they may return home to those they love.
Wrap your wings around them, and give them safe harbor.
So must it be, so must it be, so must it be.
