France and US step up Mideast negotiating

Now you stop that.  Isn't that where we are right now?  Ineffectually scolding murderers, and thugs? 

These are terrorists who deny Israel's right to exist.  Where is the basis for negotiation?  Does Israel agree to exist less?  Does Israel agree to push itself into the sea?  This is crazy talk.  Israel is defending itself.  If Lebanon wants Israel to stop, then Lebanon can reign in Hezb'Allah, starting with removing Hezb'Allah from government for..., I don't know, ...how about, bringing war on Lebanon without Lebanon's consent?

It is time call a spade a spade and a trowel a trowel.  Hezb'Allah is a terrorist organization that is intentionally bringing death and destruction on those it claims to protect.  If Hezb'Allah did not aggress Israel, Israel would be more than content to stay within its borders.  It is only when Israel is attacked, that Israel pursues those who attacked Israel wherever they may be.

The US ought to be encouraging Israel in Israel's war on terror, just as the US ought to encourage India in India's war on terror.  The US must recognize its allies and friends, or it will soon have none left.  The US must also recognize its enemies, or the US may not be left.
