Sounds like a great evening. I think Sharon has been doing a fabulous job also.

As for "planting the seeds of democracy", we did that in Japan, but it was possible only after utterly breaking their will to continue warring. We did not negotiate and leave the people susceptible to demagogues saying that they COULD have won that war, and so start it up again. That's how we dealt with Germany in WWI and it was a mistake. This war on Arab terrorism must be as brutal and final as our war on Japan. Then the "seeds of democracy" have a chance.

Thanks for the synopsis!

He said that because the President possesses moral clarity, that he is up to the task, and that we will win.

Moral clarity. What a wonderful trait to be known by.

Thanks so much for sharing your evening.

Big Bibi BUMP!

I am simply gone! What an evening you had! I can feel the electricity and am in awe of your summarization! Bibi wove a wonderful speech. And that he admires Ronald Reagan and Maragaret Thatcher....is stellar. I love that he appreciates the moral clarity of our President, and I love that he does not mince words.

I am afraid of Islam militants. They are a cult of death...and no one, not even Kant could have been expected to predict such absolute barbarism displayed by these Islamic animals who parade as genuine muslims. And he is right....once democracy gains a foothold, once the funding is halted for these sick groups, then peace may happen.

Thanks for sharing this, thanks for the terrific write-up and tell you hubby it is terrific his question received a response! Too KEWL~!

Thanks for the report. Bibi is quite an interesting fellow, no wonder BJ and Her Heinous hate him so much.

[VaBthang4]

Yes indeed...

Very good post, thanks for sharing the experience with us.

Bibi Netanyahu's Salient perpective is treasured and one that I earnestly seek.

I watched him in a spliced up interview done on "Meet the Press" about a week ago, and Russert asked something to the affect of "If we attack Iraq....what about the Arab response?"...

...and Netanyahu responded with a succinct...

"Does it matter?"

LOL...I still laugh a week later.

[CyberAnt]

Wow! What a treasure of an evening.

Excellent report, I give you an "A+" -- what a wonderful evening -- I can almost picture it -- and I LOVE that Mr.ohioWfan's question was picked -- how cool !!

GretchenEE, I would like to wish you a very

[uncbob]

Just saw him interviewed by geraldo on Fox

Made Geraldo look like the smacked ass he is IN SPADES

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Wow! I just read your retelling of last night's events and I have to say that we FReepers are the luckiest people in the world to have access to such accounts as this one you wrote this afternoon! You were there, you took notes, you shared the facts with us. Without FR and people who post such articles (like you did), we would be stuck knowing only what the liberal media wants us to know. Thanks, friend!

[altura]

Very interesting. I love Bibi. Thanx for the ping.

[petuniasevan]

Thanks for the PING!

Strange, no pics on Yahoo (media blackout?)

Here's one from a couple of weeks ago...

Thanks for a great article. I have always admired the Prime Minister. Glad you got to hear him up close in person.

[NordP]

We have been having MAJOR server problems here, but I've managed to finally get an opportunity to read your article on your experience the other evening.

YOU ARE GOOD! Have you ever been a reporter??? My goodness you have articulated your assessment of what transpired so well. I know I'll be blasted for this, but I'm not a book reader; however, I was riveted when reading your report. If YOU wrote a book, I'd read it! ;-)

WHAT a moment in history. Thank you for sharing!

[ohioWfan]

Correction.......I just read in yesterday's paper that there were more than 700 people there! Better yet!!

(I never was very good at estimation!)
