If you had bothered to read what I wrote you would know that's a load of BS.  I
said that "40 years" of US policy was at fault.  There are not a few
Republicans complicit in that policy.  Their major fault, however, is for going
along with the appeasement policies of the left.

What do you think has been happening?  Every time the Palestinians escalated
and pushed Israel to respond with force, most of the left wing idiots in
Congress were there muddling things up until our basic response was to force
Israel to back down.

Why not?  Just how do you think we're going to end this?  Tea and biscuits on
the South Lawn?  The Palestinians bitched and moaned and cried for 25 years
about wanting their own country, and Israel finally gives it to them (against
their better judgement), and what does the PLO do?  Immediately starts sending
suicide bombers and Katyusha rockets into Israel.  Those fanatics don't
understand anything but force, and until they are dead, this isn't ever going
to be over.

Like it or not, we're in a war for the soul of civilization.  Its a case of WE
win it, or we wimp out and allow a bunch of fanatical 12th century religious
bigots - animals - turn the clock back 1500 years.
