They believe we have no stomach for War. That's precisely what Osama bin Laden said in his video tape: That Americans are too soft, and used our pull-out of Somalia in the 1990s as an example.<BR/><BR/>Any coincidence that Adolph Hitler said precisely the same thing in the 1930s?<BR/><BR/>Hitler was quoted as saying that Americans would never enter the War, cause "they're too emersed in Hollywood movies, sports and sex-obsessed." (paraphrase.)<BR/><BR/>When you become a Nation of Girlie Men, not willing to fight, the Radical Islamists will rape and pillage and walk all over your country. And they may even rape the Girlie Men in the ass while they're at it.Eric Donderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763399145451696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-54883473824199419412009-01-04T09:42:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:42:00.000-05:00Perhaps annihilation was too strong a word. Perha...Perhaps annihilation was too strong a word. Perhaps I should have said "defeated."<BR/><BR/>The nature of war, especially war where both sides are fully committed ideologically, is that the only path to ending the war, PERMANENTLY, is for one side to be defeated.<BR/><BR/>Completely.<BR/><BR/>This war is one of those cases. <BR/><BR/>The Palestinians want for Israel to cease to exist. The Israelis do not. The Palestinians will not be happy with having their own state. They are not seeking their own success, but Israel's demise.<BR/><BR/>The two positions are completely incompatible. There is no common ground on which to find compromise.<BR/><BR/>Until one side is defeated (i.e., either the Palestinians completely give up, or the Israeli State shuts down and all Jews leave its borders) cease fires will be broken, negotiations will break down, and people will be killed.<BR/><BR/>Believe me, I truly wish that there was another way. I would greatly prefer to see the Palestinians happy with Bush's proposal of "the land you occupy will officially be yours, if you just play nice together." I sincerely hope that I am proven wrong and we see an end to all acts of aggression everywhere in the world.<BR/><BR/>But I am not naive enough to believe that will be the case.Early Ehlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987963861064549167noreply@blogger.com
