Old Guy--

I have no doubt that you will cut and paste when it pleases you. And your selfishness in that regard can be considered abusing our hospitality.

I note with interest that you have not contradicted my analysis of how the Israelis themselves see the outcome of the recent war.

So much for your bald statement that nothing has changed in the balance between Israel and Hezbollah.

It's also interesting, as Peace notes, that you seem to have no recourse but to fall back on the typical Bushite accusation that anybody who does not agree with you is part of the "hate America crowd"-- which establishes more clearly than anything else could the bankrupcy of your position.

As for "itching for a fight"--I just happen to be interested in facts--which are easily obtainable from certified leftist rags like the Wall St. Journal.   And I also don't seek to bury my debate opponents in long excerpts easily obtainable elsewhere.
