What does it mean when you keep reliving the same plot over and over and over again? Well, it could mean that you're still watching "24." Or that you're following the news from Jerusalem.
In The Temple Dodge, Soccer Dad points out how Israel seems trapped in the same nightmare, the same orchestrated riots, the same false accusations, the same international condemnations of the victim, repeat and repeat and repeat, and never seems to be able to get on top of it. 1990, 1996, 2000, 2007...
Though there are superficial differences among the four incidents the general thrust remians the same. If an Arab or Muslim leader has a goal, he will use the conflict over the Temple Mount divert international attention from his ambitions and rally the Muslim world around him. Ahmadinejad is using the cover of the phony charges now to increase his saber rattling and divert attention from his nuclear program and his foreign adventures in Lebanona nd Iraq. As it did before, the world just tut tuts at the chutzpah of the Jews.
Dammit!
