"Israel doesn't pussyfoot around like we do."
Unfortunately lately they do.
Unfortunately, I agree. No point in analyzing the success of the left in Israel, but Olmert is the result, and Israel will pay dearly. Condalezza's comments are a sad continuation our State Department's policies. The liberal press, in Europe and the US, and the UN represent Islamic interests. Beyond the rhetoric there is the reality that I will not trust an Israeli government and its weak leadership with the lives of my children who are almost of age to defend the country of their parents. Nor would I ask American solders to risk their lives to protect a society which hasn't the will to protect itself. Olmert and his acolytes are surrendering their country, giving it away for no profit, and forsaking the only strategy which has kept Israel habitable - the certainty of a terrible price for anyone violating the safety of the Israeli people.
