It is much easier to simply dismiss me by accusing me of shameless self promotion.<BR/><BR/>Well A.A.L., It may surprise you, but, when one leaves a comment here, as with most blogs, you are given the option of posting in such a fashion that it highlights your name and links it to wherever you like. In my case, my blog. As those who visit and comment on blogs on a regular basis are aware of this fact, I assumed that anyone who found my comments interesting enough to click on my name would have already done so without further prompting from me.<BR/><BR/>And frankly, I do quite well in the traffic department. When you make statements like:<BR/><BR/>"I suspect that behind you prose is a very young man who's view of the world is as yet incomplete." <BR/><BR/>This is again another example of an ad hominem attack, My age should have no relevance at all when it comes to the validity of my views. Unless you are considerably older than my 44 years, and have intimate insight into my life's experience (which of course you do not) to those with discernment, such commentary makes you look foolish.<BR/><BR/>I visit liberal blogs daily in an attempt to understand the way liberals think, I honestly gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were equally interested in expanding your understanding of the way conservative minds work, beyond the snippets on display in a comments section, in this case my own.

So against my better judgment, let me respond to your rabid post with some information, and hope for the best.<BR/><BR/>First of all, just because a person is a liberal does not make them your enemy (the world doesn't work in absolutes like that). If you want to make a point, dial back the hate a notch, and be willing to listen.<BR/><BR/>There are a number of books concerning the current Hamas situation in that region and true to my colors I find the words of Jimmy Carter to be the most interesting. While there is much to be admired about the state of Israel, they are not above mistakes. <BR/><BR/>When discussing the Palestinians, and in an effort to find balance in what you know and what you still do not know - ask yourself how did the Hamas come to power? Hamas is a group of like minded hateful thugs bent on the destruction of Israel (and her allies). Why would any people vote such an ugly hate filled group into power?<BR/><BR/>To understand this a bit, we need to go back into history a bit. World War 1 was supposed to be the war that ended all wars, but a goodly mixture of arrogance, anger, and fear resulted in the Allies emasculation of Germany called the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty, and its harsh consequences on the people of Germany set in motion one of the most repugnant regimes in human history. The rise of the Brown Shirts is a lesson in what desperation does to a people, and how they select their leaders.<BR/><BR/>The United States and her allies learned their lessons well and at the conclusion of World War 2 our treatise with the vanquished were approached differently. While certainly not perfect, these agreements were markedly different than the Versailles Treaty and the mostly positive results are still with us today.<BR/><BR/>Admittedly, I am glossing over history a bit here, but believe it or not, I am trying to be succinct.<BR/><BR/>Now that we have danced around in History, it is time to revisit the Palestinians. If you don't avert your eyes, the Palestinians live in horrible conditions. Unfortunately, the people of Israel are to blame for much of the Palestine suffering. And in the garden of desperation that is the Gaza strip, we see the rise of Hamas, and other hate filled groups.<BR/><BR/>You asked about Hamas randomly firing missiles into civilian locations, and yes, I agree that this is a terrible thing. But I also think slowly starving a people out of their country is also a terrible thing. I think sending white phosphorous smoke to burn buildings and civilian populations is a terrible thing. The point being, that neither side is a pillar of white light and love. <BR/><BR/>So what do you do? The first thing we do is restore dignity to the Palestinian people. We give them their inalienable "rights" to succeed and prosper. Remember that contented people are much easier to control than desperate ones.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, we engage Hamas directly. We allow their arrogance and hate to appear in front of the cameras while we study their organization and their rhetoric. We then use all of the tools in our foreign policy tool box to strip them of their ability to wage a war of words/ideology (shadow war). <BR/><BR/>Let there be no doubt that we can neutralize Hamas, but honestly, until we improve the conditions of the average Palestinians, another group will just replace them. <BR/><BR/>Finally, Israel are our friends, but that does not mean that we should avert our eyes from their flaws. It does not mean that we should remain quiet to their misdeeds when they are displayed so blatantly on the nightly news. <BR/>But with that said, we should make it very clear to all, that we stand with Israel irregardless.<BR/><BR/>There you go, my two cents for what it is worth.<BR/><BR/>Warmest Regards.<BR/>An American LiberalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-32933385511565878242009-01-13T07:22:00.000-05:002009-01-13T07:22:00.000-05:00Cop out, thy name is An American Liberal.

The only thing that comes of talking to Hamas, is that while you are talking they are rearming. The goings on in Gaza have nothing to do with land or justice for the Palestinian people, and everything to do with the utter destruction of Israel and every Jew residing there.<BR/><BR/>Those innocents as you call them are dying because of Hamas, What happened to the peace that was promised when the Israelis forced their own out of Gaza and placated the Palestinian Authority? Why does Hamas place all of their military assets in positions that will kill the most non-combatants possible?

Rice's and President Bush have been working on for years. This is simply a continuation of an ongoing efforts that need to be escalated based on a much changed environmnet on the ground. <BR/><BR/>And please note, most of our other assets (tools in the toolbox) are engaged elsewhere, and in those engagements, lives would probably be saved by "talking" to Hamas versus boldly stating our support of Israel (doesn't mean that we don't support them, but being subtle saves lives). Here is an example for you to ponder:(1)Publicly state: "Bad, bad Israel, how could you do such a thing." while (2)we watch American made tanks roll into the city of Gaza.<BR/><BR/>Innocents are dying at the hands of the Israel Armed force, and if you think the Israel people like that, you would be wrong. However, they have the right to defend themselves. If the Obama team can help broker an agreement that supports Israel's rights, and protects innocents, then why not try?<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the reintroduction of intelligence and the art of subtleties to our Foreign Policy process.<BR/><BR/>On a puzzling note, Bush's Administration based on the people they had running their Foreign Policy should have been something extraordinary. How they could have screwed it up so badly is just stunning.... I mean, have you people thought to ask yourselves how exactly did Hamas came to power? As one of the other team members like to say, there are few people who need to be <A HREF="http://because-ihaveto.blogspot.com/2009/01/face-punch-wednesday.html" REL="nofollow">punched in the head</A>.<BR/><BR/>There is a reason that most experts think we are more vulnerable now than before 9/11. Obama has a HUGE mess to clean up, and Repubs still are in denial as this post so clearly shows.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant, and if it comes off condescending, well it <I>is</I> a rant.
