Continued......

Now Israel faces the wrath, not only of the Palestinians, who reject its very existence even within the unworkable pre-1967 borders, but of the international left. Why? Because in Israel freedom is appreciated yet under siege. America supports Israel instinctively because the traditions of democratic freedom in America are too strong to destroy.

Freedom in Western Europe has become so little fancied - perhaps because it was won not by the ancestors of the Frenchmen and Germans who enjoy it, but by the deaths of Britons and Americans of our parents' generation - that it's being cast aside. Freedom in Eastern Europe may survive, because it was so hardly and recently won, in spite of the insults the French who believe they should speak for Europe cast at them in February.

But Israel's freedom is too fragile and too easily assaulted for the left to resist. When you hear the voices calling for "justice," remember who is speaking - the same voices that now weep over the death-throes of fascism in Iraq. The left, if comfortable, can always make peace with fascism - as it did in Paris during the German occupation. But democracy willing to defend itself enrages it.

Watch.

These people have ever been tyrants.

Fascism is, in context, merely another implementation of socialism, as was communism.

<< North Korean Communists .... set up ... a hideous dictatorship .... which, thanks to the nuclear arms it procured under the protection of the [Treasonous KKKli'toon "administration" and the] international arms control establishment, is in a position to dictate terms to the rest of the world for its protection. >>

KKKammerade Kim, if you are reading this please ignore the bit that says you and your henchmen can dictate anything beyond "get the Viagra, Blondie."

One tiny little poncy fat boy toe over that line and we'll blow you bastards clear out of the Middle Ages and into the Pre-Stone!

Where's the USS John C Stennis Battle Group, by the way, Herr Kim?
