The World: Like An Old Film
By Micah Halpern

Friday March 17, 2006

I've Been Thinking:

Some times world events are so out of whack, perceptions are so far from reality, it makes me feel as if we're living out scenes from old movies.

Read what Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said on Thursday after his meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem:
"We have agreed to work together to prevent and to stop illegal arms trafficking in the region, including in Palestine and Iraq."
I am flabbergasted.

Russia and Syria are partners in arms trade.
Russia and Syria provide most of the illegal weapons in the region.
Russia and Syria are the reason that many terrorists in Iraq have weapons.
Russia and Syria are why Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have weapons.

I am reminded of that famous scene in Casablanca where the local police commissioner is ordered by the Germans to close down Rick's Cafe ... he says, "I am shocked, shocked to see that there is gambling going on ..."
Then he asks for his winnings.
