Here is the situation: World leaders are lining up, either on the side of the Islamic terrorists (Chirac and Putin) or the side of their victims (the United States and -- somewhat -- Great Britain). The Vatican, which has an unsavory record in regard to the periodic slaughters of the Jews has thrown its moral weight (such as it is these days) onto the scales against the Jews. As the Hizbollah terrorists fire hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities from Lebanon and the Pope condemns Israel's attempts to destroy the rockets aimed at its citizens, Israel's chief of staff is forced to concede that those rockets can reach farther than previously thought, putting more Israelis in danger. Meanwhile, the Syrian terrorist state tells Time magazine that it could destroy Israel's nuclear sites. Hizbollah, Hamas, Iran and Syria occupy areas that are one hundred times the size of Israel and the populations they control are ten times the size of Israel's. Hizbollah and Hamas, and their patron Iran, have sworn to remove Israel from the face of the earth -- in those very words. Iran has defied the world community in asserting its determination to complete its nuclear program. Syria supports Iran, hosts Hamas and is a party to this malignant Islamic crusade. Behind them stand Russia and China and North Korea, and also apparently the international left which is lining up squarely behind the jihadists -- and has been doing so throughout the open preparation of this second holocaust. The left's favorite apostle Noam Chomsky only months ago was embracing Hizbollah's Hitler, Hassan Nasrallah, and his genocidal agendas.
So here is the issue: If you were Israel's prime minister, could you afford to wait until Iran attains nuclear warheads for Hizbollah's missiles? Or can you be sure it hasn't already been supplied such warheads by Russia or China through Iran? Could you afford to wait to see if Syria will supply the chemical and biological weapons it has cached for Saddam Hussein to Hizbollah and Hamas? Or would you proceed to plan B and obliterate them now?
While the Israeli prime minister ponders this question, leftists who are encouraging the forces of genocide -- Hizbollah, Hamas, Syria and Iran -- might want to think how all the present bloodshed and the next terrible decisions that Israel must take to defend itself -- and their consequences -- will lie on their heads.
Rock on, dude
lol...gotta bring that bottle to have a real conservative party.
I've been loathe to say it but I wonder if that is what's needed ...
Agreed.
I am not saying to pull out but the contrary. We are in this together with both feet till the end. We will win but the goal is far away. This thread is about the War going nuclear which I believe is a distinct possibility. This being the case "The World" is not safer today than were 5 years ago.
Despite the margaritas, your reasoning is more sober than many in the West would care to admit.
"Lastly, the Pope isn't going to throw his weight (and it is great indeed in a moral sense...he's a great man) behind any side of a war unless one side is clearly identifiable as "purely evil."
Got to do a lot of consultation on this one I'm sure.
Then why is Putin so all-fired eager to help the Iranian "peaceful atomic energy program?" Short term money alone can't compensate for the damage a Chechnyan suitcase nuke would wreak.
It's amazing how the issues become so clear after a few drinks. I do seem to recall that I did my best writing in college after a few beers!
Hasnt one dam thing to do with the USA. That Harlot is a religion. And the city is...you guess, it isnt Islam either since the 10 hate her but will put up with her for a time. Islam is the false religion spoken of.
I mean to say, there are plenty of good folk in Lebanon...not everyone is Hizbollah.
The left doesn't care what happens to jews or Muslims as long as their precious soft behinds are safe. COWARDS and EVIL. Satan birthed Marx.
"Read Ezekiel 38 and you'll see exactly what's happening."
You could be right.
No
No, the Russians would then have the worlds largest available oil reserves....they would welcome that outcome
I found this paragraph from a Google search.
Here's the link:

Here's the paragraph from the link:
The Vatican also issued an extremely critical statement deploring Israels attack on Lebanon. The right of defense on the part of a state does not exempt it from respecting the norms of international law, especially when it concerns the protection of the civilian population, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano announced on Vatican Radio. The Holy See deplores the attack on Lebanon a free and sovereign nation, the cardinal said, noting that he felt close to the people who have already suffered in defending their independence.
I think the world is actually safer, or certainly is going to be soon, because messes that have been around for decades are being cleaned up. Bout damn time.
