I'm At a Loss for Words

I've been reading about the ever changing situation in Lebanon. I've been looking at photos of headless babies and been sickened. I've tried to come to some sort of conclusions and write something that makes sense. I've managed to leave a few comments on other blogs while remaining mostly silent here. I've finally decided I can't make sense out of the senseless.

I was appalled, but not surprised, by the veto of the stem cell research bill. His cyncism and hypocrisy have reached new levels, even for him. I thought once again about the concern for children right up to the moment of birth. At that time I was thinking about our domestic policy only.

I didn't make the connection between his first veto (who needs the veto when you can issue signing statements), our direct responsibility for the carnage in Iraq, and our indirect responsibility for the escalating destruction and loss of life in Lebanon.

My thanks to Echidne of the Snakes for her post today. She had no difficulty seeing the connection.
