The barrage against Israel continues both by way of attacks from the terrorists there and by international rhetoric.

This is a disaster unfolding before our very eyes. When will we learn that a mad man cannot be reasoned with or negotiated out of his cult of death and destruction of western civilization?

The disaster that is waiting in the wings for the Israelis is staggering in scope. No one with half a brain thinks that a New Palestine will be anything but a base of action for Hamas; indeed, Hamas and their allied terrorist networks are slathering at the possibilities down the road. I cannot understand the incredible wishful thinking that has come out of the last five US administrations that supposes that a 'free Palestine' will be anything but a new safe harbor for Islamonazis. And I suppose that the Bush Administration will expect the US taxpayer to now shower untold billions of tax dollars (following on the heels of the billions already wasted on these rats) on the creation of Palestine - all to no good end. Not to single out the Pres, since I like him greatly for the most part, but "the Palestinian Problem" is not going to go away - its only going to get worse.
