I agree with your post until the end, when you cheered bush and blair,

I will join you in that cheer when US and British forces corner the Iranian re-supply lines goign thru Syria, and bomb them, then attack them.

on top of that, we have the axis of evil supplying the islamists and bush and blair are just watching.

north korean missles, sent to iran, then re-packaged as iranians,

shipped to syria, trucked to lebanon to kill israeli children.

this is the real drama being played out.

this isnt to say that bush and blair are 100% correct to voice heir support, but they truly need to get their armies in to this fight, as it will only serve their interests in iraq, which are being fed by the same sources.

the sooner this happens, the better for all of US

When you tag all people who question the wisdom of our current course as unified I feel you fail to understand fully. There are some who consider themselves strongly American who have vastly different agendas than you and I. This does not make them less American than us, it makes them at odds with the majority of the population.

I have to applaud the leaders of the two nations who have moral clarity and the convictions to demonstrate them. Sometimes in the history of the world people like these two commit to sacrifices to their nations for the good of the whole world regardless of the distribution of the benefits. Democrats still admire FDR and JFK for these qualities and yet partisans among them can criticize GWB for the same qualities.

Partisan democrats of current times will likely be recorded in history as placing short term political advantage over the interests of the nation. They are making the stat of a new liberal party which rejects the partisanship of their spokespersons. People like Cynthia McKinney, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and William Jefferson are so corrupt that they lead followers into oblivion.

"They spelled out the dangers of Islamic extremists to the entire world, and the need stop Hezbollah."

Moralistic leadership puts the interests of civilization above their own short term political interests! The evil that has invaded the garden of Eden must be purged. "Fundamentalist muslims" are closer to pure evil than has been seen since the Nazis were defeated.

"America and Britain have such clear-thinking, strong, ethical leaders!"

You could not be more correct.

“If Democrats had been in charge, during these dangerous times, the U.S. economy would have crashed and American cities would probably be in flames."

This is also very true.

Unfortunate Israel has the worst government ever. A clueless defense minister and a barking puddle as prime minister, not to mention the other losers.

The Colin Powell doctrine of war was avoided and countless people pay the price.

Would also like to thank to Mr. Ehud Barak & Mr. Clinton for their genius applied on the situation 6 years ago on the issue of Lebanon which contributed to the present situation.

There is a UN resolution which was supposed to solve it all since 2004 but all world leaders including many Israeli leaders ignored the facts on the ground. Europeans as usual played "me happy do not disturb" game .. and "Israel don’t be paranoid don't disturb the party- be quiet" theme ... maximum several Jews will die .... so who cares.

But Now !

Over 800,000 thousand Israelis are displaced refugies ... and no one cares,
Thousand of Israeli businesses are closed and many face extension .... but no one cares
Tens of thousand of Israeli elderly are in dire and life threatening situation .... and no one cares
Tens of thousand of young children will be emotionally injured for their life .... and no one cares
Millions of Israelis are inflicted by the dangers of random rockets fired at them .... but no one cares
Israeli Arabs whose children were killed or wounded by Hizbolla rockets blame Israel for the loss .... but no one cares

But ALL the WORLD cares about those that dance to the sound of rockets fired at Israeli towns and villages, cherish the death of every Israeli citizen and throw sweets at their neighbors after hearing of Israeli casualties or suffering.

Thank you WORLD for the great love and compassion for those that state publicly to wipe the State of the Jews of the World Map and hide your ancient hatred of Jews by feeling love, compassion and support for those Islamists that have one thing in mind to kill as many Jews as possible in accordance with their ideology.

Thank you World and World Media channels for the induced hysteria and truthful factual and researched reporting void of incitement and beamed well balanced insightful reports in to our homes

.... and more so special thanks to Mr. Kofi Annan the big imposer as world leader
