May lose readers and trackers over this, but really don't care. Tired of everyone feeling sorry for the enemy's losses when

... they started kicking the cat -- ....

Poem Artwork

Sticks and stones may break my bones
and names will never hurt me;
enemy rockets, fired, do --
And yet, and yet, the media
would turn the world against the
evil, warmongering Jew --
Poor Palestine!  Poor Hamas!!
Everyone seems to forget
they started kicking the cat --
And when it turned, hissed and bit
why is ev'ryone surprised?
I would too.  And that.  Is.  That.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (1/15)

You've cut straight through to the chase Karla -- 10,000 rockets from Hamas in three years -- where were the cries for humanitarian concerns then? -- war is not an answer, but if you choose not to protect yourself when a bully lashes out -- you are doomed to defeat -- may the light of love bring you peace and joy -- JMW

Why should we be surprised by the outcries of those who make war and then blame the other side? Yes there is right and wrong, religious differences and political gains and losses, but do you really think this is something new? This is a War and War is Hell...just ask the ones who created it...

I haven't seen a protest demonstration for the slaughter of 860.000 innocent people killed with machetes in Rwanda.
I haven't seen a protest demonstration for the slaghter and rape of over 250.000 christians in Darfur by islamists.
I haven't seen a protest demonstration for the slaughter of 70% of Libanon christians by islamists.
And now is a big hullabaloo because 970 innocents human shield perished because Hamas desperately wanted propaganda?
And Iran (Persians) wannabes araber with a delusion of be the top dog in the arab world, they are just a pathetic bunch of nuts, and islamits to both, how derranged you can get?

Karla as you know I stand by you on this subject, you said what had to be said, and if others don't like it that's their problem. The fact is Israel is a Jewish Nation whether or not others want to agree with it, and when you back them into a corner of course they are going to have to fight! Thank you for speaking up.

Well you state your opinion strongly but I would probably remove the word Jew, for you have to separate the religion from the country. Yes it may be a country of Jewish faith but then again not all Jewish people of the world would agree with the politics of Israel. Anyway good write and certainly one to think about.

In a free society liberty comes with a price. Perhaps someone in Gaza will eventually see that to be in bondage to Hamas or any other terrorist group is detrimental to their health. They should clean house and embrace the right to free speech, and the right to worship in Gaza and the world as you see fit. Let the World march through Gaza, with woman and children of all races chanting freedom.

sometimes the truth hurts but face it the truth will set you free. Never forget this is America and many have given their all to to keep our freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Pen what your heart desires. You have the right to write. Hugs, Kathy

I wondered why you used that picture of that pretty kitty; then I read this. Now I understand. Look at the fear in its eyes. Look at the hesitation in its posture. It wants to trust, but isn't sure. Excellent analogy; very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

A most courageous write; many wouldn't have broached the subject!

Karla,
It's admirably brave of you to take on such a sensitive, charged issue, and there's no solution to any conflict anywhere until we all stop kicking and get to the real roots of the problems we have.

When it comes to wars, there are always the good and the bad, depending on who's view it is.

There are so many authors here in the den and so many different races of people, that is why I don't normally go into politics; but I agree with you - one should look at the picture of who had started the wars first.

I don't agree to wars, it's only the innocence and the children that suffer the most.

However, when a kitty is backed into a corner with nowhere to run, then the kitty would become a tigress and fight back. That's the only way to self-defense and survival.
