br> -- Tim Dormain br> Alberta, Canada /p> p> Kudos to Ben Stein for writing the truth about whom we and Israel face. They are murders and belong to a religion that has been built on the blood of its victims. Islam is a cult that desires no peace, only the annihilation of all other religions. I have read the history of Islam. Islam is no friend of Western (Christian) Civilization. br> -- Mark Sauser br> Memphis, Tennessee /p>

We are told that the situation in the Middle East is "complex" with too many intricacies for a "simple" resolution. If we're talking about a "diplomatic solution" the punditry is probably correct. At this point we've exhausted endless "protocols," "accords," "negotiations," "summits" and other such diplomatic pomp followed by blizzards of UN paper filled with rules that apply to western democracies only. The thugs are again excepted because they chose the bullet and the middle finger and their signature along with their word is ****!

I applaud Israel's "bunker-busting" diplomacy because we've made ourselves insane trying to be "reasonable" by elevating street gangs from the jail cell to the negotiating table. The time for "talk" is over. We barely flinched as a nation when we fire-bombed Dresden and Tokyo killing tens of thousands of civilians. We have let our media control our behavior when the occasional missile strike at some al Qaeda stronghold kills a few bystanders stupid enough to be hanging around the gang hideout.

p>It's time for us to feed Iran and Syria what they have been producing as an export for decades. The message needs to be sent, and words of "diplomacy" have failed. It's time for us to join with Israel for real and "engage" in some of our own "bunker-busting" diplomacy. br> -- P. Aaron Jones br> Huntington Woods, Michigan
