In the Israeli situation, I see our own similar future demise at the hands of our liberal socialists. Olmerts international liberalism ( I wonder how many back channel calls he got from BJ Clinton and Jimmuh Carter over the last month?)has doomed an entire nation to living their future as trogladytes, toting guns everywhere they go, and wondering why their economy cannot function.
Olmert is sick. And the US position that "hezbollah lost" is one more indication that the Bush presidency is fast moving toward the nature of the proverbial lame duck, quackingly proclaiming its wounded limbs to a world unlikely to listen to anything but strength swiftly and terribly executed.
Shimon Peres is sick. Olmert is merely a bumbling incompetent.
