A true leader doesn't damn the offended party for taking military action to stop terrorism against it. This Powell did constantly during the last two years. His dim witted moral equivelances drove me crazy.
Once and for all, Israel was not the agressor nation, and it could not be trashed with comments like, "Until both sides stop the violence, we can't have peace." The fact is, Mr. Powell placed Israel on an even footing with comments like this. I'll never forget it.
If he didn't know any better than this, he's unfit to serve.
