Dear friends:

A quote from the Iraq Study Group just released says:

"The United States cannot achieve its goals in the Middle East unless it deals directly with the Arab-Israeli conflict and regional instability. There must be a renewed and sustained commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace on all fronts: Lebanon, Syria and President Bush's June 2002 commitment to a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine..."

Translation: For there to be peace, Israel must give away more of its God-given land.  It's all Israel's fault.

Neglected truths: 

1.  History has proven that such give-aways do not bring peace but more hostility (and less security for Israel).

2.  The Arabs do not want a two-state solution.  They want a one-state solution -- that is, destroying Israel!  This has been made clear by Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc.  Appeasement and negotiations with terrorists never work and is always seen as a sign of weakness.

3.  Whatever failure there has been in Iraq has been due to (1) American political correctness and cultural hyper-sensitivity such as in not killing Muqtada al-Sadr and other murderers hiding in mosques, and literally leveling hostile locations, including mosques, in a scorched-earth policy, just as we did in WWII, and (3) the America-hating left in continually undermining our efforts, just as in Vietnam.  They and their media enablers are hungry tor American defeat.

If the left wins this one, there is no hope for America or Israel.  It appears to be all a part of the coming Tribulation and the great suffering.
