Opaque Lucidity

Ominpresent, Omnistupid

If John Heinz-Kerry were President right now, Hezbollah and Hamas would not have kidnapped Israeli soldiers and Israel would not have teed off on Lebanon and Gaza. I'm no expert on foreign policy there, Mr. Swift Boat Skipper, but how would your magic diplomacy have stopped two terrorist groups who have been fighting against Israel in one guise or another since 1948? Has any President been able to curb radical Islamic terror aimed at Israel?

What Commander Queeg would've done when Israel began bombing Hezzbolah positions is call Tel Aviv and tell them to give diplomacy a chance, something that has failed time and time again over the past 40 years. The correct thing to do, the course the White House pursued, is to get out of the way and let Israel defend herself. It is obvious that radical Islamists only understand force---that is what they must be shown, in copious amounts.

Side note: please follow the link above and notice how the story explains the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers. Keep in mind that Detroit has a huge Middle Eastern/Muslim population.
