1) "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed.
2) If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly,
you may come to the moment
3) when you will have to fight with all the odds against you
and only a precarious chance for survival.
There may be a worse case.
4) You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory,
because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill

I think right now we are at the second line in winston churchills lesson for the ages. Thanks to the UN we've sailed blindly past the point where we can easily win without bloodshed. We had better fight while the victory is not so costly, and that doesnt mean there will be NO cost. It only means that the price to be paid will not be cheap. Because steps 3 and 4 is where we DONT wanna go.

Remember that WAR is not the worst thing that can happen, THAT is where our teachers failed us. There are worse things than WAR you can bet your bottom dollar on that.

Missing the whole point of what I have been posting. This current fighting was planned and started by the Israelis and we are if anything, on the wrong side of this conflict. Israel is not fighting the terrorists, they are destroying the infrastructure of a country.

If we are to take action, then jump in there with a large number of Marines to evacuate our people there. First one that shoots at us, from EITHER side, gets hit where it hurts the most. And we should make it plain to all that anyone using nuclear weapons will get their country leveled by ours.

Futher evidence that General Patton was way, way ahead of his time.....
