Into the breach
Le Monde has 10 images (in flash) here of the breach in the Iron Curtain at Rafah. The foundations of the 20' tall metal barrier Tsahal erected in 2004, on Washington's dime, before pulling out of Gaza, was weakened by explosives, and pulled down by tractors. On the order of 10,000 people crossed into Egypt in the first few hours after the breach was opened, to buy food.
Again, I don't understand why the Edwards campaign fails to distinguish their candidate from the two other AIPAC-blessed candidates. Its not as if they are going to get anything distinguishing out of AIPAC. The largest collective punishment on record (the American war on Iraq excepted), the largest forced impoverishment on record (the American war on Iraq excepted), the largest Berlin Blockade since Eric Honecker's cage was opened, and not a word from the candidate on Peace in the Middle East.
What makes Katrina more dignified of candidate time and message than Gaza? What does a candidate do when confronted by millions in dire necessity? Say "there are looters" or "there are Qassams" and turn back to the comfort of the standard stump?
