I am not really (too much) trying to get the naysayers to change their minds...as I am pointing out that they aren't..in question form.
I know I am being somewhat tacky...but, I want all of the doomsaying to be channeled into positive thoughts and prayers...because it seems that whoever/however Olmert has changed his tone...Thank G-D for it.
Can one our freepers with "skills" kindly post the pictures of Green Helmet Man from this blog??

Especially the one from QANA 1, comparing him with QANA 2?
You can't really control how others respond to events.
We all have something to contribute here and we're all entitled to our ways of doing it.
What you call "doomsaying" I call confronting reality and speaking truth. We know that "leaders" are not reliable and bear careful watching.
Your admonition to positive thoughts and prayers --- also offered by Knitting a Conundrum and conservativepoet --- I receive and concur in a good spirit.
God bless Israel.
