That would require that we voted for him the first time.

As an aside, I loved
this quote
about your alleged president:
For years it has been my belief that the ideal US president for Middle
East peace would be one who had the ethics of a Carter,

Ever done any reading on Carter’s cronies?

the popularity of a Reagan
and the strategic audacity of a Nixon. Alas, we have a president who has
the ethics of a Nixon, the popularity of a Carter and the intellectual
agility of a Reagan.

Making light of a man battling Alzheimer’s Disease? Too off-color for me.

St Ronnie was not the sharpest stick in the pile when elected!

Funny, I was a Liberal during the Reagan years, and used to think the exact same
thing. Now on the other side I see how that that characterization was Liberal
spin, just as Liberals assertion of Bush being a “moron”. It is partisan
hacktalk.

It also has a couple of other good quotes.

He forgot to mention was that Gaza, with
its 1.3 million inhabitants, is only about 1% of historic Palestine.
|
What the heck is “historic Palestine”?
|
Do you reject the Balfour declaration which sought the “establishment in
Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”?
|
No. Did you mean “Palestinian people”?

This leads me to think about some
disturbing ideas I have heard lately about Israel and the Palestinians,

I’ve heard disturbing ideas from both both sides of this argument...

and
I’m wondering how ubiquitious they are among the Left, so let me ask you
Scott: yes or no-- do you actually recognize the legitimacy of the State of
Israel to exist?
|
Yes; I have said so many times. I also recognise its right to self-defence.

Okay. Good; I thought so, but had to recheck, because there is a lot of
thinking out there (in the American Left anyway) that actually denies these
rights for the State of Israel!
| |
Do you recognise the West Bank as land which does not belong to Israel under
international law?
|
Of course, except for some sticky issues WRT Jerusalem.
