There is that phrase again "Amen corner." Pat would reward terrorists. He is right on immigration, wrong on this issue.

I say if Israel must, take another 50 miles as a wider perimeter, as a pre-emptive move for their own security. Arafat had his chance, and refused it. Palestinians are terrorists, and will not stop if given a state.

There IS that phrase again, Amen Corner. Israel is entitled to do as she wishes but we needn't go along with it. The confusion of American interest with Israeli interest is apparent, in Congress, in the Press and perhaps most of all, here at Free Republic. I do support Israel as it is far too late to abandon her, but we must not confuse Israel with South Dakota. She is not the 51st state. If she becomes so bold as to think she'll have her cake and eat it too (and who's to say she isn't already) then she must take some of the responsibility for her actions. Harry Truman helped create Israel by executive fiat, the US has propped her up these 50 years, and now appropriate US policy has to choose between 1 billion people or 15 million. If those 15 million were from South Dakota it would be easy to understand. But they are not. Fifty more miles ? With us at her side ? You've got to be kiddding.

Congratulations on buying into the mass anti-Buchanan hysteria promoted by any who disagree with him. Your highlighting of this phrase without any sort of supporting context makes you guilty of exactly the same sort of slander liberals are famed for.

Since you seemed to have missed the context: What Buchanan is saying is that the US cannot guarantee peace in the mid-east, because we cannot force Israel into any action, and any threat to do so - a threat backed by the removal of the foreign aid - would be shouted down in Congress. Do you disagree with this analysis, or are you just supersensitive to offending anyone?

Would you guarantee, and permanently post, US troops in the region to support this, thus also guaranteeing the involvement of US troops in evert Arab-Israeli skirmish down the road?

Amen corner

Pat's right as to to the makeup of the power behind the power, but on the issue, he's wrong.

The west has just lost Bosnia , Kosovo and Masadonia(?) is going under. Wish that Pat would come to the understanding that bloody Islamization of the west is worst than the Communism threat he fought against. It's pass time to take on the 'new evil empire'.

It's foolish to say we cannot change our Mid-east policy because that would be to "reward terrorists." There's no wrong time to replace a bad policy with a better one.
