I Chose Sides Long Ago
I don't have much to add to the debate. I suspect anybody who knows me know where I stand.
I stole the flag image from Larry Kudlow. He writes exactly what I believe.
Israel is doing exactly what is has to do. It’s messy, but it’s appropriate. Israel has every right to defend itself. Their freedom, democracy and independence depend on it. Their very existence is at stake.Israel Posted by jk at July 14, 2006 3:44 PM
Just keep in your prayers that the Untied Nations stay out of it! They've known for years what Hamas and Hezbollah have been up to in Iraq, Syria, and Iran and let is slide. Now, Israel is finally doing what we should have done in 2003!

It's a miracle that Israel has shown as much restraint as it has in the past.
Imagine if Seattle were being attacked by rockets from Vancouver.

How is it thsat the U.N. can put a resolution against Isreal together in a day or so and we are still waiting for the resolutions against N. Korea and Iran?
Posted by: sugarchuck at July 15, 2006 10:43 AMI'm not sure of the timing of this, sugarchuck, but the Security Council did (finally) unanimously approve a resolution that, according to Secretary Rice, condemns NK's missile launches and forbids the supply of missile components to NK from outside states. I mention this not in defense of the UN, but in appreciation of the diplomatic skill of Rice and Bolton.
I'm sure that AlexC knows that it is not the Lebanese who are launching Iranian rockets deep into Israel's cities, but Hezbollah terrorists. So Israel has a similar problem to the one we faced in Afghanistan and Iraq: killing the cancer without killing the patient.
