#1 peace cannot be made without strength

strength: i.e.: The ability to cause serious harm to your opponent. The threat of getting your collective a$$ whupped always has been a great motivatior to come to the bargaining table, especially if all you have to do is quiet down and act all civilized and such so you can get your economy back.

#2 Bout time!! The US needs to give or sell the Israelis whatever the advantage needed; to stomp the living crap out of the Iranians as their 'expansionistic' threats continue. Let there not be a Pearl Harbor type surprise without them knowing that should they move on Israel, they can kiss Tehran and Qom goodbye, for atleast the next 60 years!!

#3 "...will be to help push forward a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians

The only problem standing in the way of a peace agreement is that one side is completely dedicated to the destruction of the other.

#5 SteveS - "completely dedicated to the destruction of the other" So true, and the other side has a state department that believes lollipops and hugs can fix everything - thus the ongoing problem...
