Has Israel learned from the U.S.  I have always admired Israel's decisiveness when pursuing military actions.  They usually approach war as we did in World War II and as we began Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Now they seem to be mimicking out current actions in Iraq, that is fight with half a commitment.  All reasonable people understand there can be no peace until the Islamic Fascist element is crushed, destroyed, obliterated.  There can be no dealing with this animals.  Look how Israel has fared after 40 years of negotiation and concession.  They are further from peace than ever before.  Someone once said of war, there is peace when there is a winner and a loser.  Japan and Germany understood that.  Until Islamic Fascists are brought to their knees, where ever they are, there will be no peace.  Here's hoping that Israel can shake off its reluctance to destroy Hezbollah in order to buy good will.  No one could hate them more than they are hated now.  They should create their own peace by sending Hezbollah, Syria and Iran packing.
