Good post. Justin hits the nail on the head. Taking on the entire Muslim world would be an idiocy of collosal and bloody proportions. Yet that is what some laptop warriors in the press, among them the saber rattlers at National Review, The Weekly Standard and the Wall Street Journal, are advocating.
We need to punish those responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist massacre. But we don't need to engage in nation building in a faraway land whose proud people will view us unwelcomed occupiers. We also need to get our damned troops out of Saudi Arabia and inform Israel that we're cutting off their $3 billion-a-year handout. Israel's decision in 1947 to steal Palestinian lands and force their inhabitants into separate, but unequal, non-Jewish districts is their problem, not ours.

Maybe you would like the USA government to give parts of our nation to Mexico, and the rest to various Indian tribes, where they can proove that they really ARE Indians. Then , let's make England give their land back to ... ? Hmmmmmmmm ... the Normans ? No, the were French and invaded. Oopps ... but the Normans were really Germans. Oh, and before that ? Well okay, wha about the Angles ? Oh dear, another invader and Germanic. The Saxons ? See the Normans and the Angles. Oh dear, oh dear. Your proposition is even more ridiculous, than mine.
How about we fid the Cannanites, and give them back ALL the territory covered by Israel. Oh gee........the Hebrews killed and / or intermarried with them. Sooooo, I guess that Israel REALLY does belong to those modern day Israelis. So there !
Uh, I believe that there was a civil war in the lands of Israel. If the Palestinians had won, there would be no Israel. You take to task the Israelis for defending themselves...
