"The national debate about what to do in the Middle East falls into several specific categories. There's the 'do it now' crowd and the 'do it later' crowd. It should be noted that there is also a 'let's not do anything' or a 'let's run away' crowd who are called liberals and/or Democrats. The 'do it now' crowd is now rooting for Israel to get rid of Hezbollah in Lebanon. The 'do it later' crowd advises that waiting is best, proudly pointing to how we patiently waited for the former Soviet Union to implode. But history is filled with examples of why 'do it now' is a better idea, because failure to respond to Big Trouble almost always results in Even Bigger Trouble." — Alan Caruba
