What bother with all these elaborate justifications, from pundits far and wide? On and on--"We were right to waste the goon." Does somebody want a pat on the head, or something? Approval?

It was war, and an act of war. But it'll have consequences--the question is, is Israel ready for it?

Trouble is, there doesn't look like a second act to this play.

What, more bombings? Israel is used to it, unfortunately.

Trouble is, there doesn't look like a second act to this play.

I can see one glimmer of hope if the top leadership realizes that they aren't safe anymore.

Does somebody want a pat on the head, or something? Approval?

This drives me crazy.

YES. Israel DOES want approval. They DO want a pat on the head.

Why else are they always raving on about "right to exist", or "UN Resolution this-and-that"?

Israel's right to exist comes out of the barrel of a gun, and in this they are just like anyone else on earth.

Does the United States have a right to the Intermountain West?

Hell yes, we do, thanks to Nelson Miles and a few thousand dead Indians.

Israel did the first smart thing they've done in years when they waxed Yassin. Let's hope Arafat is next.

If Israel needs the UN and the EU to give them their precious "right to exist", they'd better move out now while there are still condos in Fort Lauderdale.
