Hell May Just Be Freezing Over Here...in a Good Way

This is really cool, and historic. Both President Bush and Condi Rice are striking the right tone here. For the first time, maybe ever, a U.S. president isn't engaging in the same mealy-mouthed calls for "restraint" from Israel, which for four decades have done nothing except give terrorist groups time to regroup, dig in, rearm, and murder more Israelis. U.N. Ambassador John Bolton makes a great point asking who exactly speaks for terrorist groups like Hezbollah and who would enforce a ceasefire, especially when there is already a U.N. resolution in place demanding that Hezbollah disarm and withdraw from southern Lebanon (et tu Saddam Hussein and Iraq U.N. fiasco?). Israel has had enough and appears to be taking the gloves off, and it's about time we let them. No one wants war or bloodshed, but if Mexico or Canada were lobbing missiles and rockets into American cities, we certainly wouldn't stand for it, and neither should Israel. Good for Pres. Bush and Sec. of State Rice...as the article below states, we do need to get to the "root causes", which means the eradication of Hezbollah as a terror/military force in the Middle East (not alleged Israeli misdeds). God be with the IDF as they battle an entrenched and fanatical enemy, and with the Israeli people, because who knows how far down the rabbit hole this conflict might take that country and region.
