Its best generals pushed out because they were opposed to Disengagement, officers were promoted based on their willingness to expel Jews and soldiers were trained to participate in expulsions, rather than to fight a war"<br /><br />So true. Even PBS with its liberal slant noted and questioned why the IDF had been so ill-prepared to fight. The incompetence of the generals etc. was just too blatant to ignore, especially in a nation like Israel noted for its innovation and expertise in everything from technology, medicine, and military tactics.<br /><br />Here PBS was even noting the IDF's numerous other victories against greater and larger enemies than Hezbollah.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-75026373806768434862009-07-24T02:14:40.694-04:002009-07-24T02:14:40.694-04:00Simply one of the best articles that I have ever r...Simply one of the best articles that I have ever read. You state the truth in simple terms that pacifism is not the answer but the problem. Evil must not be tolerated. It pains me deeply to be a citizen of Rome while the city is burning itself down.

The PBS program NOW had a show on the second Lebanon War and the comments of many of the soldiers seemed to reflect this attitude as well, not to mention many of the questionable military tactics--invading Lebanon in broad daylight. <br /><br />What military launches a war in broad daylight?? It's either before dawn or aftr dusk but in any event it's dark.<br /><br /><br />Also, some of the IDF soldiers said they lacked even food and water and had to go door to door asking civilians for it. Olmert's defeatism infected the IDF.<br /><br />I might post a clip from the show.<br /><br /><br />Also, your article reminded me of the way a lot of liberal movie critics blasted the film "Home Alone" when it came out in the 1990s. It wasn't sappy enough for a Christmas movie.<br /><br />I guess they couldn't understand why people cheered for a little 8-year old home invasion victim who turns the table on the criminals and beats them and lives by creating weapons out of toys and anything around the house. It's really a great survival movie if you think about it.<br /><br />Critics blasted it until the box office numbers forced them to look at in again and try to figure out why people loved it.<br /><br /><br />What would a remake look like today? Little Kevin is left home alone at Christmas, is murdered in a home invasion and the world cries for peace and sings give peace a chance at memorials around the world.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-42445441790164050562009-07-23T06:50:13.963-04:002009-07-23T06:50:13.963-04:00Another excellent article.

A response concerning the lowering of testosterone being the cause for Western Societies moral cowardice and unwillingness to fight: absolutely bogus! Was it the Ottorman Empire who used to crush the stones of certain of their warrior class? The Chinese also used eunuchs for warriors in times past. My personal opinion is that there is a heavy spiritual component involved...the dreaded G_d word arises from the mists of secular humanism and materialism, frightening the children. The politico's and front porch philosophers screech, "Anything but G_d!" Therefore, that's what we have - 'anything' but G_d!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-5236698580790285452009-07-23T05:04:05.820-04:002009-07-23T05:04:05.820-04:00One reason for the pacifism is the low levels of t...One reason for the pacifism is the low levels of testosterone in American and European men today.<br />The levels are down by 25% of what they were for men only 30 years ago.Sal the Barbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-20426554742536557782009-07-23T03:30:41.902-04:002009-07-23T03:30:41.902-04:00I don't think you can really call Bush a '...I don't think you can really call Bush a ''conservative'' - it's more accurate to just say ''more conservative'' than ......<br />In his second term, Bush talked tough but ....<br />And fiscally, he was hardly conservative, although nowhere near as irresponsible as today's Democrats.<br />Bush was a ''moderate social conservative'' ....<br />I couldn't say he was among the most intellectually gifted either, while a good politician, he made terrible appointments like Condi Rice & some really awful decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
