I said the same thing. So did GWB, which is why he made it a campaign issue.
We are just going to have to disagree with the level of instability that might be caused by this move .I support the move of the embassy. But I don't want it to be done if there is any reason to think things might be worse.
Remember that in a year or two, because for better or worse, Iraq will likely be resolved by then. Peace wont have broken out by then in Israel.
They just announced on the news that Paul Johnson, the hostage has been killed, maybe beheaded... We should not serve up more Americans to these monsters if we can help it.
Its a sad commentary on the nature of our enemies. Appeasement wont slate their appetite for violence, its a shame we couldnt rescue him. (I dont consider the Embassy issue appeasement in that sense, it is in the context of Israeli-palestinian peace negotiations)
I don't think we need to wait until Kumbaya has broken out across the middle east.
But we still have our hands full right this minute.
