Will the free world survive with leaders like Pelosi are at the helm?

Nancy Pelosi visited Israel last week and issued a statement where she explained that though Iran must be stopped she ruled out military action.
Her reasons :

1. Military action will strengthen the Iranian leadership,Ahmadinadjad in particular and,
2. It will cause an increase in the price oil.

I cannot but help wonder what are the chances of the free world to survive when leaders like Pelosi are at the helm. Granted, their heart is in the right place but that can hardly secure world peace.

A military strike must be so destructive as to send a very clear message to all Islamic fundamentalists that they must crawl back into their cave and never come out again. Axis of Oil, it will come down again and, the interval which will pass until that happens, is a very small price to pay for saving the free world from tyranny.
