Let me ask you a hypothetical question. What do you think America would do if Canadian soldiers were firing dozens of missiles every day into Buffalo, N.Y.? What do you think our response would be if Mexican troops for two years had launched daily rocket attacks on San Diego -- and bragged about it?
I can tell you, our response would look nothing like Israel's restrained and pinpoint reactions to daily missile attacks from Gaza. We would use whatever means necessary to win the war. There would likely be numerous casualties on our enemy's side, but we would rightfully hold those who attacked us responsible.

That balance of power is about to change, though. If Iran develops nuclear weapons, the very existence of this tiny nation of Israel will be threatened. The Iranian regime has left little doubt that it intends to see Israel “wiped off the map. Hamas is using the same language, not coincidentally, and has announced it will begin launching missiles into Israel from the West Bank too.
If the world doesn’t act to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions, it must be prepared for the consequences of Israel defending itself.
Rumor has it as July 4th as his announcement date.
RUN FRED, RUN!
Wrong we would surrender to Mexico.
In the word anti-Semitic, it's not sih∙MET∙ik, but rather seh∙MIT∙ik.
20 years ago, I knew what would happen Fred... today, I'm not so sure.
Hey, it’s spelled correctly in the piece.... what’s the problem?
He mispronounces it. Sorry, it’s a pet peeve of mine, like “nucular” or “vinella.”
We lasted 7 years with Bush mispronouncing every other word, give him a break.
I’m sure Hillary pronounces everything just right ;-)
“If the world doesnt act to stop Irans nuclear ambitions, it must be prepared for the consequences of Israel defending itself.”
Which means that Israel will be forced to take preemptive action against Iran before they become NUC capable. If they wait, it will be too late. Iran will use NUCs on Israel once it gets them and then Israel will remove Iran from the map. The results would be unimagineable for the rest of the world.
I’ll bet if you asked the Mod to put (Essay by Fred Thompson) next to the title- the thread would get a LOT more hits:)
hint-hint... ;)
You’ve just had too many saltines today :)

Basically, this already did happen here. It was known as the War of 1812. We only survived because Britain was tied up fighting Napoleon. Even so, the British managed to burn down most of DC.
