More “Birth Pangs” in Rice's “New Middle East”
By Mike Whitney
Assistant Secretary of State Nicholas Burns appeared on the Sunday talk shows defending Israeli aggression as the necessary path to achieving a “durable peace”. In the Orwellian-world of Bush doublespeak, a “sustainable cease-fire” is a tacit endorsement of perennial war.

"Her description of the conflagration in Lebanon as the 'birthpangs of a new Middle East' was about as callous as it gets, matched only by Bush's remark that the conflict represents 'a moment of opportunity,'" writes Matthew Rothschild describing Condoleezza Rice's opposition to an immediate cease-fire.
