Thank goodness for Israel

So, since Iran thinks they've won the US election now, and international reaction (at least as gleefully reported in the MSM) is "well, zey sure showed zat cowboy Bush zat zey want to leave zee ozzer countries ehlone," people around the world seem to think that we'll quit trying to make the world a better place.

First, this was a CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION!!!! President Bush didn't suffer a defeat, a disloyal and disingenuous Congress did.

Second, I sure hope we don't quit.

Either way, though, Israel still has a spine, such as it is - it's looking more and more like they're fulfilling the role of the Lion in the world, as the US is handicapping itself into less than a kitten...
