I recently read that Bejamin Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister of Israel, declines to criticize his government while Israeli troops are in Lebanon. Republicans followed that policy while we had a Democrat President. It is too bad that the Democrats don't also do that. But, Democrats are so eager for power that they don't mind harming US interests if by doing so they can damage President Bush. It is interesting to me how Middle East dictators mouth the Democrat talking points. When Kerry said, during the last election, that foreign leaders had told him they preferred him to Bush for President, I wonder if Iran and Syria were the countries he was referring to, in addition to France of course.
