					<description><![CDATA[One of the characters in Plato&#039;s &quot;Republic&quot; defined justice as &quot;helping your friends and hurting your enemies.&quot;  Socrates shows how this is not justice, but I&#039;ve always thought it makes excellent sense as foreign policy.  Most of the time, it seems, the US manages to get it bassackwards, helping our enemies and hurting our friends.  We are doing that to Colombia right now, too.  

Handing military and intel tech to an Arab country dominated by Iran&#039;s Hezbollah poodles, who use it against an Israel friendly to the USA, is a perfect example of such stupidity.  Since our intel is dependent on Israel&#039;s for much of its information about Arab countries, and since it is likely that there is no CIA apparat in Lebanon either, or if there is it is also vulnerable to the newly empowered Hezzies&#039; counterspies, this is an own goal of the grossest sort.]]></description>
