There has been a strange twist in the latest war between Israel and
Terrorists. In the past, CNN would run Christiane Amanpour over to the
terrorist side and show any and all suffering of women, children, old
men, young men, camels and donkeys and of course, terrorists
themselves. The rest of the world, including American Democrats, would
then howl with rage over the actions the meany Israeli's were taking.
The ever feckless UN would quake with dissaproval. European Union
members would weep for the "poor' terrorists and their plite. The
American President would rush the Secretary of State over there to
force a quick end to the Israeli actions. Dick Morris has an great
article this morning which tell us how the Impeached President Bill
Clinton stabbed the Israeli's in the back in 1996
hereWhat
is different now. First, CNN does not have a monopoly on the news.
While they certainly went back to the old playbook and rushed the ever
available Chrisitane Amanpour to Lebanon and were duped into showing a
propaganda piece for Hezballah, FOX was in Israel showing the suffering
of the Israeli's. Second, The European Union has mostly been silent.
Third, the President of the United States did not immeidately send
Condi Rice over there to quell the violence, but instead stood up at a
world meeting of the G8 and told the world that he supported Israel's
right to defend itself and was in no hurry to stop the Israeli attacks
on the terrorists.
The world, specifically, the United States
recognizes that the Israeli's are fighting the same enemies in Iraq,
Afghanistan and other parts of the world. We have recognized that this
is part of the Global War on Terror. The American populace is behind
Israel on this one (except, of course, the Democrats in Congress).
Today we are all Isreali's
