Ironical...We say we want peace in the Middle East. Ironically by encouraging Israel to "show restraint" we ensure the exact opposite. I think someone once said, "if you want peace, prepare for war."<br /><br />Israel and America are both routinely slammed for civilian deaths and collateral damage. When someone targets your civilians, should they not expect theirs to be targeted to. In other words, when Arab terrorists target our civilians or attempt to undermine our just interests, should they not expect their people to be targeted as well.<br /><br />I think when the left and others evaluate American and Israeli actions, they have a huge blind spot. They seem to assume that Israeli and American actions happen in a vacum.<br /><br />I think the last paragraph pretty much says it all. I think the United States faces a simillar problem. In America we are already beginning to see Americans take actions to defend themselves. This is manifested in the immigration law that passed in Arizona.<br /><br />Furthermore the Palestinians may be over estimating American power and influence if they can actually feel emboldened by any thing Mr. Obama does or does not do.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
