Yea, I guess an honest, factual editorial doesn't sell in the Peoples Republic of Taxachusets.

Still, the fact that such a paper even exists there, still surprises me.

Massachusetts voted for Reagan in 1984. Bush lost to Kerry 37-63. It's harder to vote Republican up here, so more than a third of our folks are pretty hardcore. I think we are more motivated and battlehardened than in other parts of the this fine country.

Prevaling winds makes nuking Beruit just as hazardous to Israel as it is to Lebanon.

I was thinking Teheran and the extreme unlikelihood that Iran's will to resist is any less than was Japan's.

History, as well as common sense, teaches that peace will come when one of the antagonists is utterly defeated (or dead). Consider Germany, Italy, and Japan. They were enemies and are now allies. Plus, they haven't troubled the rest of the world since their defeat in WWII.

Conversely, North Korea, North Vietnam, And Iraq (after 1991) are still enemies and threats because they were never decisively defeated. These radical Muslims have not been utterly defeated since 1976? and the Six-Day War. By the way, Egypt hasn't been a big threat since then. Even then, the fighting was stopped prematurely, I think.

Let us support Israel fully and urge and allow them to utterly defeat Hezbollah.

Anything less than the complete annihilation of hezbollah in lebanon will be a tremendous loss for the free world.

Moreover, those nations and leaders which seek to prevent the total annihilation of hezbollah are equally enemies of the free world. Since any negotiations that aids and abets hezbollah preventing the total annihilation of hezbollah, will only leave determined terrorists to terrorize again and again.
