Reflections on the Middle East

Help! We're out of toilet paper.

I find that my best work is done in the morning as I tend to necessities.  Here's what I was thinking this morning during the pre-shower festivities.  They are thoughts, not doctrine. At what point do we formally recognize that playing in that juvenile hall of delinquents called the UN is at cross purposes with our own national security? Irrefragable - Everything happening in the Middle East today is traceable to Iran. American Jews of the Hollywood kind must this morning find themselves rooting for Hezbollah, along with Jimmy Carter and the hard left. Shame on Condi Rice for equivocating on the Israel-Hezbollah war. Israel must not only completely destroy Hezbollah's rocket inventory, but Iran's as well since the rest of the world have abrogated their responsibility in the matter. Did I say Iran must be ''neutered'' with extreme prejudice? What, you don't like any of that?  Here are alternatives. Withdraw from the Middle East and Europe.  Let them be eaten by Islam. Focus on our hemisphere Re-establish the Monroe Doctrine - with vigor Carry a big stick Burn Jimmy Carter at the stake to make a point that will not be lost on the New York Times. I was joking about that last thing.  The New York Times will never learn a lesson.
