The Road Ahead
Michael Ledeen has some straight if unsettling talk about what needs to be done to defeat terrorism across the Middle East:
The only way we are going to win this war is to bring down those regimes in Tehran and Damascus, and they are not going to fall as a result of fighting between their terrorist proxies in Gaza and Lebanon on the one hand, and Israel on the other. Only the United States can accomplish it.
His words have the ring of an ugly but unavoidable truth. Of course, United States involvement doesn't necessarily entail large military deployments. But it does entail a vocal and sustained commitment to winning a war that, right now, the Iranian mullahs have decided we have no stomach for -- thanks to the Cindy Sheehans of the left.
For those over at Daily Kos who want to "imagine a world without Israel" (HT: Little Green Footballs), perhaps it would be instructive to think of Israel as the "canary in the coal mine."
And consider this: If they could, don't you think Hezbollah, Iran and the rest of the Islamofascists would be attacking the United States they way they're going after Israel?

We may not have the stomach for it, but it may be no choice for us. If we are really fighting the War Against Terror, then Michael Ledeen is right. We may have to provide some military support to Israel, but we also need to remind America every day the Islamofacists we are fighting and what kind of world it would be if they were in control of any country. We ignored Afghanistan until planes hit buildings in this nation killing nearly 3,000. We have to stop buring our head in the sand and stand up now before it is too late.

A fresh pile of it plops on the ground and Carol immediately scoops it up and eyes her lineup of usual subjects, deciding to lay the disintegrating Middle East at the feet of Cindy Sheehan.
The blogger is unhinged.
Researching backgrounds again, Ditto? You've never responded to my suggestion that you enlighten us on the backgrounds of those organizations in which you seem to place a great deal of trust, like the ACLU for example.
We're still waiting...
Invading Iraq WAS a cakewalk.
Rebuilding an already delapidated country, on the other hand, is VERY difficult.
