If he wants to invade Usrael then fine. Just keep us out of Israel.

Geyer continues to write silly columns. Once again, this theme of how stupid George Bush supposedly is should be clue to the general vapidness of the column.

I didn't realize Georgie wants to put her head in the sand until the Arabs kick her in the ass. The reality is we either break with Isreal, a western democratic country, or we are eventually going to war in the mid-east. I prefer to fight for democracy and the rights of man. I don't know what Georgie wants.

Every day, Prime Minister Sharon commits some new horror, all in the name of the America that provides all of his busy bulldozers, tanks and planes. Hardly a day goes by when he doesn't insult President Bush. Yet, despite some recent hesitation, the president still takes Sharon's side more forcefully and goes along with his own advisers, many of whom are also adherents of the extremist-right Likud Party in Israel. That mentality and influence are now contributing to plans to extend the war(s) to enforce all those enticing "regime changes" all over the world I guess we should be on the Palestinians side of tolerance

Usrael? That's not in this world. Maybe its somewhere on Uranus.

Actually, Georgie Anne Geyer continues to ignore the fact that for all its effort to treat the Arab world as if it were a worthy member of the civilized world, the only thing that the the U.S. has gotten in return is oil. She is also inclined to ignore that the only value that oil has is to fill the uses that Western (not Arab) ingenuity have created for it.

For the PanArab perspective, this is a great read.

This article is twittle.

Georgie Anne Geyer has a real soft spot in her heart for Christians, doesn't she? It really is touching how she implies that they have no right to be in policy-making positions.
She speaks of atrocities, but I just can't remember the last Israeli bombing of civilians at an Islamic religious festival, or at a restaurant, or in a disco. I guess it's only an atrocity when commited by one of those dirty Jews, against one of those Palestinian freedom-fighter "civilians" - you know, the ones with their faces covered, carrying AK-47's and RPG's, hiding behind their women and children.
She really tells it like it isn't. But that's okay, as long as she's furthering the cause, and only deceiving infidels.

"regime changes in six or seven countries and to create conditions which would lead to internal reform and modernization in the Islamic world."
Right. Perfectly doable. What is the weenie's reaction?
"One wants to ask breathlessly: Is that all? Why, we could do that before lunch! Why not eradicate evil from the heart of man while we're about it?"
These are quite minor powers. We have "effected regime change" simultaneously in Germany, Japan, Italy, half a dozen minor axis powers and as many again quisling occupied nations. Undoubtedly that seems simply impossible to the weenie, but we did all of them, against direct military resistence, by joining a world-wide alliance of their enemies. Then for good measure we "effected regime change" in the USSR and all of eastern Europe, by sustained diplomatic means, leading half the world.
Now a much smaller power bloc, radical Islamic states (whether motivated by radical Islam itself or by Arab nationalism, socialism, or Jew hatred), has taken us on. And suddenly the weenie discovers that victory over minor powers is beyond our means. Yet our political, military, and economic relative power has never been higher than today. No superpower stands behind the minor terrorist states, ready to deter us from escalating or to bail them out after their defeats.
The coalition that has attacked us, and their fellow travellers, aiders, armers, is certainly dangerous. They showed that by leveling a significant portion of lower Manhattan, which the weenie seems not to have noticed. They are a threat because several of them are seeking far more destructive weapons, which proliferated into the hands of non-state actors, would allow them to strike at us with a veneer of deniability.
The inability to deter such threats with the usual method, threatened nuclear retaliation to annihilate the attacking state, requires another means to deal with it. (Unless the weenie would prefer we just nuke them off the planet - no? Didn't think so). Regime change is a quite limited means of dealing with this threat. It leaves the countries intact, altering only their governments. It may sometimes require conventional invasion, but temporarily - whereas we thought nothing of garrisoning Germany for 50 years, and directly ruling Germany and Japan with military governors for years after our arrival.
The weenie thinks it would be safer to sit around picking our noses until Saddam gives Hamas, or Iran gives Hezbollah, nuclear weapons. This is because he has scarcely any idea of the real world he is living in. He does not "grok" that all the shelter and normalcy he has ever known was carved out of an unwilling and hostile world by the main force of US military power, now or in the past. There is nothing new about it, the weenie just never noticed it before.

Georgie .... continues to tell... Yes, the extreme liberal strikes again. georgie writes like arafat's daughter. Yeah her column is as objective as killing Israeli women, and children, with terrorist human bombs. She(geyer)is almost as credible as the great liar bill clinton.

It is most amazing watching the worlds through the press as it reports the Israel story. I can see ever more clearly the polarization of the world on this focal issue. I can also see the "Clash of the Titans" that is being played out on the world stage. The basic core issue is the right of the state of Israel to exist. And it amazes me to watch the world take their sides in the debate. Whether they understand it or not, those who support the Arab/Muslim/Palistinian side in this issue...and much of the media are in this camp...are willing to accept that Israel does not have a right to exist. And are willing to see the destruction of the state of Israel. I hope they understand that those forces who own this agenda also want to see the destruction of America. But then they probably feel that America is an occupied territory too.

Over many , many years, no journalist has impressed me the way G.G. has. And she has always had the guts to speak the truth as she sees it.
To: Seti 1
The author is a silly little putz that couldn't survive a day the park much less survive an attack on the US. She suffer's from the Bill Mahler disease, if there is danger refuse to see it, if it can't be reasoned with, buy it off, if it can't be bought off, surrender. Hopefully they will both move to France so they can be with like minded individuals.

Geyer has been in the forefront opposing the tidal wave of illegal immigration in this country and for that alone we all owe her a great debt of gratitude.
The lopsided support of Israel, extorted through lobbyists and hardball political blackmail, has caused us terrible damage to our reputation as an honest broker. Too many mistakenly think that America is waging war against them by proxy Israel. They do not understand the nature of power politics and AIPAC and ADL lobbying to name but two.

Georgie Anne Geyer continues to tell it like it is. No, but she does tell it like a certain subset of society wants it to be spun. Maddy Halfwit and Billyboy Cartoon, for example.
Neville Chamberlain would approve, too.
To: Seti 1
Wow, give Georgie some oxygen. Where did she ever get the silly idea that Bush takes his foreign policy advice from Bill Kristol, a T.V. commenatator, and not from Cheney, Powell, Rice and Rumsfeld?? And why the nasty comments about Sharon? Sharon's operation into Lebanon sidelined Arafat into Tunisian retirement until Georgie's buddies in the international foreign policy establishment brought him back and put him in the West Bank, where the bodies have been piling up ever since.
These foreign policy "experts" who have been promoting Arafat and the P.A. ought to be begging forgiveness for creating creating a hell on earth in the West Bank instead of making snide remarks about the leaders trying to clean up the mess they made.

"Every day, Prime Minister Sharon commits some new horror,..."
Oh, you mean like blowing up buses...as occured today?
