Hunkering Down, etc.

He's another appeasement idiot who thinks nations and cultures should simply bow to the forces of might makes right.

He stated, 'There is, though, a point in cautioning Israel to exercise restraint -- not for the sake of its enemies but for itself.' Does he say elsewhere that Israel shouldn't fight back? To me, it sounds like he's written an article saying there's no peace for Israel in sight. That, and if Israel was somewhere else other than where it is, the grand scale of this particular problem wouldn't exist for them. Stating the obvious isn't much help, though — it just makes for another column, I guess.

You were very careful not to offer an opinion, Strother. What say you?

Not careful. It just didn't come up. My opinion: You can't stop people for wanting to fight about one thing or another, and you have to defend yourself. That, and you can't go back and change history. You can only decide what to do next.
