“Israel hasn’t stood this alone in a long, long time...”
True, but they’ll be fine. They will have to shed all pretense and not repeat recent military blunders.
If the Arabs want to take a another go at it, they’ll die in large numbers - because Israel won’t be able to afford to be politically correct and minimize collateral damage.
But they better hope we don’t get another term for the Kenyan - and on that score, they could have some influence on a core democratic voting block.
Of course, their hope is ours as well; and it is critical that we don't have Obama, Inc. of course.
That said, I hope even that we have the choice and that Obama has not eliminated our options for Election, 2012. We know all too well, that he is sooo into the alternative MO's of governance power.
