Ex-CIA director John Woolsey set to profit from war on terror.

More jobs for the boys, joining such luminaries as George Shultz (Bechtel), Richard Perle (Trireme) and Dick Cheney (Halliburton - our boy is still getting pension payments, remember?). Then there's ex-executives of major military contractors like undersecretary of the Air Force and NRO director Richard Teets (Lockheed), Secretary of the Air Force James Roche (Northtrop Grumman) and Former Secretary of the Navy (now Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security) Gordon England (General Dynamics). Funny how the people making decisions as to who to contract to for the military would be the same people who used to run the companies that get awarded the contracts.

British made tanks up against Indonesian rebels.

So much for Labour and the peace process. Meet New Labour - same as the Old Conservatives. When money flows, so do the arms and to hell with an ethical foreign policy.

Powell thinks we can get started on Mid-East roadmap after meeting with Palestinian leadership.

Sorry, Colin. Think again. There shall be no peace as long as Sharon lives.

Sharon has been making it very clear, for decades, that he is far more interested in genocide than negotiation or accomodation.

And this differentiates him from most of Hamas how?

(Yes, I know. He's in charge; they're not. But still.)

Apart from the most obvious (he's in charge; they're not *g!*)

He's got a nearly 3-to-1 kill ratio.
He's claiming it's all just "self defense" (despite that 3-to-1 kill ratio - and way to go, "defending" yourself against all those women in labor and unarmed peace activists); they're not.
He's busy decrying "terrorism", while perpetrating it.
Likewise for assasination, while advocating it.

I guess what it boils down to is, yes, he's in power, and they're not, and he's abusing the power he's got. Also, he's better armed. And he's a hell of a liar and a hypocrite.
