Israel and the Terrorists
by Mike on Jul.15, 2006, under Political
How come whenever Israel is attacked and defends itself, it becomes the target of worldwide and UN condemnation? Did anyone get onto the US when we defended ourselves after 9-11?
I think that Israel has made it clear that if you attack them, there will be a severe price to be paid. I think this is the primary reason that Israel is not continually at war – its enemies know it does not fool around when it comes to defending itself.
Perhaps the US could apply this approach in dealing with the insurgency in Iraq. I think if we took the gloves off and let our military fight without one hand tied behind its back, then we would make significantly more progress than we have to date.
What do you think?
