You can hearing the low but insistent drone of the some left wing voices saying, "this is not our war,"" what's the big deal about a couple of captured (note captured, not kidnapped) soldiers?," and their new favorite word, "disproportionate."
It shocks me that only last month the barbarians arrested for planning to destroy the Holland Tunnel and Path trains in order to Katrina-ize Lower Manhattan - the economic capital of the world -- had connections to Hezbollah. Hezbollah is at war with America.
Operatives of the Lebanese Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah, the same group presently firing missiles into Israel and labeled as one of the most dangerous Islamic terrorist group in the world, are believed "to be planning to activate sleeper cells located in New York and other larger cities inside the U.S." to stage attacks Americans. "The FBI and Justice Department have launched urgent new probes in New York and other cities targeting members of the Lebanese terror group." Law-enforcement and intelligence officials stated that "about a dozen hard-core supporters of Hezbollah have been identified in recent weeks as operating in the New York City area (alone)."
The New York Post , May 22, 2006.
And lest we not forget the 241 Marines murdered by Hezbollah homicide bombers back on October 23, 1983. Hezbollah attacked America back then. Twenty years later their objective is the same but their organization has grown up. And even then we knew it was Iran.
"The resulting explosion was the largest non-nuclear explosion that had ever been detonated on the face of the Earth."
U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth on the bomb that killed the Marines
Lamberth ruled in May that Iran was responsible for the attack because of its support for Hezbollah. "It is beyond question that Hezbollah and its agents received massive material and technical support from the Iranian government," Lamberth wrote.
Listeing to the cacophony of voices today - one remark stuck in my mind. Netanyahu said we are the little Satan................you are the Great Satan. "You're big Satan. We're your little brother."

UPDATE: More frightening dhimmitude from the suicidal leftwingers. The worst offenders are those that come from the Jewish womb. There is no worse Jew hater, than a Jew who hates Jews. Ugh.
Richard Cohen, ugh, projectile vomiting in the prestigious Washington Post:
"The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake. It is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now. Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself." hat tip Dave
No doubt Mr. Cohen, and his editors need to hear from you, badly. You can them contact here as well.
Try to be reasoned, brief, and cool-headed, it's difficult in the Jack Nicholson ward of the cuckoos' nest.
