I agree. Thanks for pinging me.
Now, using post #58 as a springboard for further discussion the poster contends that she is only following Bush's direction -- and I think that her proper role is to follow orders and carry out policy, not make it -- do you find it equally disturbing that Bush is for a cease fire?
My own belief is that we shouldn't be pushing for a cease fire, either privately or publicly. Israel must not be deterred in their defense of themselves. You can't negotiate with people who want you dead.
Have you been paying attention to anything that Rice, Bush or Tony Snow have been saying? They have said over and over again they will NOT support a ceasefire unless Hezzballah is disarmed. In other words - no ceasefire until Israel has wiped out Hezzballah. I don't see a problem with that policy at all.
