‘It’s War,’ Israelis Say

Islamic Group Blasts Israel’s ‘Attacks on Civilians’
A U.S.-based Islamic civil rights group is urging American Muslims and "other people of conscience" to urge their elected representatives to condemn the Israeli attacks on "civilians in Gaza and Lebanon."

Who's attacking civilians?

Israeli officials have said they are attacking terrorists who hide in and among civilian populations. Israel's target is the terrorists who kill civilians, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Dan Gillerman said in a CNN interview on Friday.

"For them, every dead [Israeli] civilian, every dead child, is a cause for celebration. For us, every dead civilian is a tragedy. That's the difference between us and them," Gillerman said.

If Bush would have approached the war on terrorism as the Israelis do the war would be over by now. Bush's stand on immigration and his Let's Be Nice Stand on the war on terror will surely doom the Republican Party in 2008 if not this year.
Where has our cowboy gone?
The makeover of President Bush has been gradual, but significant. The man who once stood with a gravitas similar to Winston Churchill and announced his intentions to stand up to the "Axis of Evil" is now seemingly on the defensive, made impotent by the constraints his critics and advisers alike have placed upon him.
