I'm in, thank you. VDH rules!

When the U.N. and the EU talked about “refugee camps,” none asked why for a half-century the Arab world could not build decent housing for its victimized brethren, or why 1 million Arabs voted in Israel, but not one freely in any Arab country.
I think we all know the answer to these questions.
Absolutely, dead on, correct! Well said VDH.
It is time to relearn the lessons from the Cold War

*HANSON PING*
Schoolyard bullies. The way they behave has never changed; the way to stop them has never changed.
save for later
The Arab mind only understands strength in response or retaliation.
They confuse in many cases our civility with weakness.
At some point, we westerners will collectively "wake up" and decide it's no longer a good idea to be "civil". It will be time to take the appropriate action to ensure survival of our collective cultures. We have a good bit yet to learn from the Chineese and Indians.
Collectively, we should review the teachings of Sun Tzu.
The liberals still haven't made the link between attacks in Israel and those now occuring in the rest of the world.
They dislike the Jews so much that it's easy to always blame the victim.
Now that the bullies of Islam are turning on the bystanders of Europe it will interesting to see if they ever make the connection.
Or to expand on your comments, why Arabs can live freely in Israel but Jews are not permitted even passports to travel in Arab countries? Or why Jews must leave Gaza rather than being offered citizenship?
Some double standard.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
In one month, the Islamic World will get a shot of psychological adrenaline that will motivate them for generations. As a result you will suffer.
Aljazeera will show that even the Israelis- those who pledged never again- those that fought- those that always said they would never surrender to terrorism- will run away in the face of terror.
The Jews will blow up their own houses of worship, dig up their dead, and run.
The US will hold their coats, and cheer them on.
All over the world, Islamic adults will show their children that the Infidel will in the end run. Just terrorize and kill them. In the end they will run.
Gaza is just a small step towards Dar al-Islam.
Future generations will look with contempt at our current leaders. Blind to the obvious.
Ping.
"We are idiots! We have allowed liberals to straight jacket our security and safety against Islamic fanatics."
If Arabs indeed equate civility with weakness, they must equate liberalism with Jello. Another way in which the diet of "sugar" is killing us.

Brilliant Exposition.
As usual.
However, if I may dare, I must disagree on the jihadis going soft on India and China. There is enough local jihad and 1000s of corpses to testify to that in the restless regions of Xinjiang and Kashmir. But yes, 'global' jihad is yet to target these 2 emerging powerhouses.
"save for later"
LATER MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
