No Justice, No Peace

Lebanon and Syria have continued to allow Hezbollah to operate against Israel from their territory. As a result, Israeli civilians have been killed and now Israeli soldiers have been taken prisoner. Lebanon claims that they should not be held accountable for Hezbollah actions and Europe appears to agree. The US was correct to consider any country knowingly providing a home for Al-Qaeda an enemy state at war with us. And so too is Israel correct to assume the same of Lebanon and Syria. The Europeans have accused Israel of a "disproportionate use of force". The reality is the opposite. Israel has been remarkably restrained as they have attempted to trade land for peace and been rewarded with violence time and time again. Let Europe turn their security over to China and Russia and see if that protects them from Iran.

I "envisage" Solana in a skirt hiked above his swelled head for perenially short-sighted France.

Often, Israel--specifically, Sharon's Israel--belonged on a leash. Not this time.
