I thought about how the former Soviet Union was in Afganistan and now the US is. <br /><br />Recently I watched a documentary called Death in Gaza on HBO. The reporters followed Israeli efforts to build a barrior in Gaza resulting in Palastinian homes being Buldozed down. It also followed Palastinian resistance including the use of very young boys to become martyrs. One of the film makers was killed during filming. I found it so troubling that I recorded it for a friend.<br /><br />There is a quality assurance tool called Why 5 Analysis. It is supposed to get at the root cause of a problem. You ask the question why, five times. Why did this happen. Then why did that happen, and so on five times. I never get past three times. <br /><br />This isn't exactly why 5, but I decided to watch the video again, and I ended up watching it three times. The fist time I felt that the Israelis were clearly in the wrong. The second time I was sort of unsure. The third time I was sort of thinking that the Palastinians were in the wrong.<br /><br />But clearly the innocent children and innocent people were the victims. Probably I need to watch the video two more times.<br /><br />DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
