Hypocrisy and its effects

The Inter Press Service, an international press agency that appears to tilt some to the left, offers this story on the Bush administration’s approach to the Lebanon crisis. The gist is that the administration has taken sides, offering some humanitarian aid while also contributing to the conflict’s continuance.

IPS also offers this analysis, explaining how the conflict in Lebanon and the war in Iraq are eroding American credibility and isolating moderate Arab governments, emboldening groups like Hezbollah.

Not a pretty picture, to say the least.
