The "action" we're talking about here is Iran exploding a nuclear weapon - the most powerful ever exploded over a populated area - in Israel. I think (well, I sure hope) the international community will find this action "inappropriate," but I don't suspect the Israelis are going to be real appreciative of whatever "action" the international community will take in response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-40270639234406504812007-10-22T13:52:00.000-07:002007-10-22T13:52:00.000-07:00I apologize for reducing everything to its politic...I apologize for reducing everything to its political components, but this attitude is one of the reasons American Jewish voters are currently flocking to the Republicans. I saw a recent report on CNN that said polling shows 25 percent of American Jews now voting Republican in 2008. This is way, way up from single digits and moving.<BR/><BR/>Now, 25 percent of Jewish Americans is not a huge number - certainly not election changing, unless the election you're talking about is close and, say, your candidate has to win Florida to be elected President.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-79169834743505637782007-10-22T08:28:00.000-07:002007-10-22T08:28:00.000-07:00Those comments are an object lesson in why the lef...Those comments are an object lesson in why the left should never be in charge of the military. They simply do not believe that America is worthy of defending, because truth be told, they don't actually believe in the America that was founded in 1776. <BR/><BR/>They believe in the America they hoped was going to be based on collectivist ideology, so they really don't get all that worked up about threats to our nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
