It's been a long time since an appearance was made in New York as affecting as that at the Regency Hotel Thursday morning by Karnit Goldwasser. She is the wife of one of the Israeli soldiers held by Hezbollah. She spoke under the auspices of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, which is launching an appeal in respect of its emergency humanitarian effort for Israelis whose lives have been disrupted by the war. The head of the Federation, Morris Offit, and Mayor Bloomberg spoke at the event. Mrs. Goldwasser will be remembered for years for the simple eloquence with which she conveyed the human dimensions of the war crisis.
This is a time to remember that we are not alone. It may be that some of the world leaders are falling away or, like the French president, playing a despicable double game. The intensity of their maneuvering for an immediate cease-fire may grow in direct proportion to the prospects for a catastrophic loss by the enemy. But sometimes it takes a crisis to gain a sense of who one's friends are, and friends of America and Israel have seen several emerge in the current conflict, particularly Prime Minister Howard of Australia and Prime Minister Harper in Canada.

I think Harper will stand his ground no matter what the liberals want and say.
I agree about Harper; he seems like a good man. My point is that I hope he can hang on to his office.
