What's Happening & What To Do
Robert Tracinsksi makes a prime point about the "proxy war" that's going on in the Middle East:
If the problem is that the Syrian and Iranian regimes seek to preserve themselves and extend their influence by supporting terrorists across the Middle East, then the solution is to end those regimes--and we should devise a military response directed at that goal.
Syria and Iran cannot be pressured, deterred, or contained, because supporting terrorists is their means of survival.
Given all of this, it's particularly worrisome that -- as the Claremont Institute's brilliant Brian Kennedy points out -- the Bush Administration, like others before it, are taking a leisurely approach to developing the missile defenses that could make all the difference in an era when powers like Iran and North Korea are developing nuclear weapons, effectively undeterred.

Can this Kim Howells person know the enemy Israel is fighting as well as Israeil does? Israel has been in direct conflict with these scumbags since they formed their little group. Who better than Israel to determine tactics and targets?
The United States has become so good at hitting legitimate targets (surgical strikes) and, thusly, saving innocent lives that the entire world is now measured by our success.
The entire world, that is, except for the terrorists. Did Howells have anything to say about the targeting practices of Hezbollah?
Who's making the big dough, ditto, and where can I view the details?
