Hat-tip to Jason for that link to Horowitz's article.
Horowitz is 100% spot on. The UN and EU have their own agendas, and Israel's survival is not one of them.
Israel needs to take this opportunity to remove Hezbollah and Hamas from the equation once and for all.
I also agree with the concept of an occupation force in the territories and taking the hate and terrorist admiration out of Pal kids' educational venues. Just no French troops, please!
So, according to the GREAT MR SUCKY, all the problems started about 30 years ago or less???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The part about the troubles spreading from Afghanistan to Pakistan is a real HOOT!!!!
HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!
And he also ignores about 10 other countries where Islamofascists are murdering, chopping off heads, and blowing up things!!
MR Ducky, please tell us some more!!
HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!HOOT!!!!
Thanks for the links!

Iran heavily invested in North Korean missile program
LONDON — Teheran has been financing Pyongyang's intermediate and ICBM programs for nearly a decade, Western intelligence sources said. The funding has been part of a deal in which North Korea would share missile technology and equipment with Iran.
"Anytime you hear of a North Korean success, translate that directly into an Iranian success," an intelligence source said. "You can be sure that within a few weeks, Iran will receive briefings, training and eventually production expertise from Pyongyang."
Iran is believed to have invested more than $1 billion in North Korean missile development...
Beak,
You're right. Many of the problems in the Middle East well predate the Bush administration.
For centuries, Muslims have blamed the West for their own internal problems. That attitude of victimology is but one reason why they haven't come into the 21st Century.
Now, the fall of Saddam's regime has emboldened and motivated the Shi'ites and other Muslim factions who are forever looking to the West as the source of all their problems. And I'm still not convinced that Iraq can function as a democracy anytime soon--if ever. Nevertheless, the choice of just waiting for Saddam's regime to continue its doings seems to me to have been immoral and unwise, particularly with regard to our own national security.
I've just ordered my own copy of Mary Habeck's Knowing the Enemy. Published by Yale University Press, the book provides some insights which I haven't found elsewhere.
I have ordered Trifkovics new book that has not made the rounds in our circle.
I also am reading Sowell's chapter on Native American's in Conquest and Culure.
Beak,
Robert Spencer has a new book coming out this fall. I plan to order that and Trifkovic's latest at the same time.
I'm finding Knowing the Enemy quite useful as a reference. She using sources other than the usual ones.
A lot of the Middle East's problems (as well as the world's in general) can be traced to an innocent foreign policy mistake committed by the United States of America - giving control of France to French-speaking people after taking it from the Germans in World War 2 and, more importantly, before integrating them into Western civilization.
I was somewhat disappointed with Spencer's last offering. Other then the Bat Yeor sections the book was marginal.
Beak,
I think you're referring to The Myth of Islamic Tolerance, which is mostly a compilation and not Spencer's own writing, per se.
Spencer's next book is on MTP--certain to earn him another fatwah.
Kev,
Duck likes to provoke, sometimes for provocation's sake and sometimes to promote discussion. He sometimes tells us "I'm here to help."
At least he's not a spam freak!
True. Few things are more detestable than a spammer.
Brooke,
A spammer is much worse than one who hurls ad hominem epithets.
