#1 That's about right. Weak leadership voted in by weak citizens without survival instincts.

#2 Israel - how could you elect Olmert and Peretz?

#3 I think the Fall Congressional sessions will create cause for optimism. US influence is collapsing not only in Europe and the Middle East, but in Latin America as well. That has to change, and it will change. Enemy life must be devalued.

#4 How do you figure there's reason for optimism? God knows I could use some; but I see lots of opportunity for things to go to hell in a handbasket this Fall, and little opportunity for much change for the better.

#5 The air war is not exactly suspended. It goes on in the north. It goes on with a few limits in the south. It will resume in full force if necessary.

I'm not sure I believe the doom and gloom is as bad as depicted here by Yoni Tidi. Olmert is not a military man. He needs to listen to his military more than the international press.

The U.S. needs to hold firm regarding 1559 and disarming the Hezs. This problem will come back to haunt us again if we don't. It is in our best interests to be tough here!

#6 It seems like the air war is "suspended" rather than suspended.... I heard it still continues on todays news...

#7 WW3 does not depend on how we vote. It has started and it will continue until it's conclusion. Just when Iraq starts to resemble a quagmire, Hesbollah attacks Israel and kidnaps a couple of soldiers launching another front. This will happen again. Iran, Syria, and the various terror units will spill blood and we will jump in with both feet. I wonder if and when other European nations will do the same.
The time comes when you've got to shoulder arms. How about now ?
