How to Lose to Terrorists
American Spectator ^ | 31 July 06 | Ben Stein

We tie our militarys' hands and will not use the tools which we have to win this war.

Excellent post!

That's Ben Stein at his best. I love the guy. Get rid of the bleeding heart PC fools in the media and it will be a good start.

As much as I hate to see the loss of the innocents, God told the Israelites in Old Testament times to do away completely with their enemies. It was because of their moral depravity and their abilities to turn others away from God that they were told to do this. Same is true in this instance. Hezbollah needs to feel the wrath of God and to see that we are willing to fight back. Ben Stein writes so well.

Good piece by Ben Stein.

Don't negotiate with terrorists, kill them.

I believe it is probable that the West (America and Israel) has already lost the war. We do not have the will to win.

Thank you for your imput. Rest assured we will give it a the merit and consideration it deserves.

You are so right! But those not paying attention don't know there is a propaganda war.
