Mommy, make the bad men go away....

Pat Buchanan is at it again.

Israel has a right to defend herself...as long as she doesn't use lethal force? Is that what he's saying? That's what I'm hearing.

I do agree with what he says about William Kristol. I don't think anyone should bomb Iran's nuclear facilities because of what is going on in Israel. I think we should bomb Iran's nuclear facilities because they have a history of terrorism and a suicidal hatred of the West.

Excuse me? Did I hear you say "lied"? I guess Jveritas is lying then, too...as well as thousands of other people. Not the U.N. though. The U.N. would NEVER lie about anything. Neither would Saddam Hussien. Or the "President" of Iran. Or Hezballah, or Hamas.

Which is it? Do they, or do they not?

Quote:
"What about America? Richard Armitage, who did four tours in Nam and knows a bit about war, says that, in its ability to attack Western targets, al-Qaida is the B Team, Hezbollah the A Team. If Bush bombs Iran, what prevents Hezbollah from launching retaliatory attacks inside the United States?" - End quote

Yes, that is why al-Qaida flew civilian airliners into our buildings and Hezbollah cheered from the sidelines. Oh wait, maybe I'm wrong; there has not been a UN Resolution to call a meeting to determine the credibility of that statement. If Hezbollah is stronger it's because al-Qaida has been bombed back to Mohammed. Hezbollah has already attacked many "Western" targets (I think "Western" is just a way to avoid the uncomfortable specificity of "United States.") If they could do more, they already would have.

I think Mr. Buchanan's most important error is that he seems to have forgotten who started this war...when your very existence is enough cause for a lot of people to want you dead, drastic measures have to be taken.
