It takes chutzpah, as they might say in Haifa, to declare that Hezbollah and Israel wouldnt be fighting now if John Kerry were president.
Kerry, who did declare that, apparently has more chutzpah than nuance, as it turns out.
If I was president, this wouldnt have happened, said the senator from Massachusetts.
The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East. Were going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it. Because of Bushs focus on Iraq, Kerry said, the president failed to address threats posed by other terrorist organizations.
He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq, said Kerry. And then, We have to destroy Hezbollah.
Its impossible, of course, to know what wed have been watching on television the past several days had Kerry been elected president. Would Hezbollah not have attacked Israel? To answer that, we have to back up a few steps and first ask whether we would have been less focused on Iraq had Kerry been elected in 2004.

...Lets pretend after all, Kerry is pretending that he could have soothed insurgents and terrorists alike and that, by now, most American troops would be home and Iraq would be enjoying the fruits of a fully functioning stable, democratic government.
Well give him that tea leaf. Having managed postwar Iraq better than the Bush administration, what about Iran? Without Irans support and provision of munitions, Hezbollah wouldnt be kidnapping Israeli soldiers and launching rockets into Israel right now. Might we also assume that under the aura of a President Kerry, the Iranians would have passed on electing the Jew-hating, Holocaust-denying Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
