Is Time Running Out for Israel?

Your plan sounds more like one from Dick Cheney than GW Bush, and reminds me of the late Israeli PM Menachem Begin. He knew how to deal with Islamic terrorism. If only Netanyahu were in power now. The current Israeli leadership are wusses. Still, if Israel is to act, they had better do it while Bush is still in office. I doubt if Obama or McCain would back up Israel as strongly as Bush would if they chose to remove the Hamans and Hitlers from their midst.

We have never faced an enemy quite like Islamofascism. And our leadership has labeled them as "peaceful" and "tolerant" on more than one occasion. How can we fight an enemy who has been so misinterpreted? Still, there is time to see things change for the better. Blessings, John

Well, we know that the socialists and pacifists will never protect Israel or even our Allies for that matter. We could wait for Jesus and the Apocal but if we had done that in WW II you and I would be speaking German!

We have faced a similar enemy...

The Empire of Japan, as they were before WWII, is similar in theory but not in reality, to the enemy we have in Islam today. Japan held that they were the superioir race and all others had to be subjected to their rule. They had no love or respect for life, either their own or of others, would not surrender even when they knew they were defeated, and had centuries of culture expounding and drilling the bashido mentality into its people. The difference seperating Islam and the Japanese Empire is integrity. The Japanese were not afraid of what they did, nor were they embarassed. When they attacked the USA it was in uniform, in planes and ships identified as Japanese, and they did not have to scurry around under rocks and in caves due to their opinion of themselves. We drove them into caves with brute force. On the other hand, Islamic Jihadis wear no uniform, affiliate with no nation state, and sneak themselves aboard aircraft, trains, and anywhere else roaches can get to. This is not to give the former Japanese Empire any measure of respectability, but only defining the minor differences in two very similar enemies. I doubt, though, that Islam will ever forsake their comission to jihad and world domination as the Japanese so intelligently decided to abandon world domination. I am afraid nothing short of total anhialation will solve the problem Islam itself presents to the world. So be it.
