Today's Quote
"History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. "
Ronald Reagan
I'm sure that Regan's excellent speech writers lifted that from somewhere else in history, but it doesn't diminish the thought. I think it is especially apropos of the Middle East right now. But Israel isn't even dealing with governments per se, but their murderous thug proxies. The Jewish State is now showing Hezbollah and Hamas, and in turn the governments of Syria, Iran, and Lebanon, that the price of agression, whether active or enabled, is not cheap at all.

Here's my quote of the day:
Some have criticized Israel for not responding proportionately to the attacks, but we'd counsel patience. After all, the Israelis aren't done yet.
