Yes, it hit me in the eye too. >If some loonies in Niagara >Falls lob a few rockets toward Buffalo, the United States would launch >an overwhelming military response to crush the Canadian government? >Sometimes I wonder if these people are actually THINKING!

As expected. I posted those first two links to show the contrast between Americans and Washington: Unprecedented Numbers of Americans Question Israel's Actions in Gaza <http://www.alternet.org/story/117568/> Have Bush and the Neocons Ruined it for the Israelis? -- The Israeli propaganda blitz around their attack on Gaza has been greeted with uncharacteristic skepticism by the American public and even by some of the mainstream US press. <http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21653.htm> US Senate Supports Israel's Gaza Incursion <http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/01/08-9> :-( It's what Chomsky said about the election and its import: "It's up to you." You have to take your government back, make it totally clear that it's YOUR government, not Wall Street's, not something to be bought and paid for, and then force (yes) Washington to make the changes you voted for. "Keep their feet to the fire," as one commentator said. The mood in the US has been changing from confusion and dismay as Obama's business-as-usual intentions emerged, to more and more talk of "demanding" and "forcing", along with a rising amount of action to back it up. Not nearly enough yet - turn it UP! LOUDER! Yes you can!
