A year or so ago I muttered something about the United States not being able to follow through. That the Western world was too encumbered by political correctness and "human rights" to be able to fight this enemy properly. I probably thought this around the time of all the hullabaloo over Abu Grhaib or somesuch. When I was thinking this over, it occured to me that the only sane nation that would have the balls and the force to confront Islam would be Israel, that that if WWIII were to begin, it would begin with Israel. Not Iraq. Not Afghanistan. Not with the US and cries of blood for oil. Zion would bring down the wrath of God onto the Muslims.

And I was glad. I wanted it to happen. I was tired of sitting in a holding pattern, wondering what was going to happen next. Wondering who would be attacked next.

Now it's happening. And I don't know how to feel. I just pray that Israel once again turns a deaf ear to its critics and battles on.
