...your characterizations are compelling (although I wouldn't undestimate the IDF to, sooner or later, take off the gloves). The Chinese are no salvation. In fact, they're feeding the problem and cleverly working both ends against the middle (70% of Wal-Mart goods made in China, as well as missiles sold to Iran).

I recommend Conrad Black's Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With Stalin, Hitler and Hirohito all on the stage at the same time, and an inept Congress, things looked dismal. Heck, things WERE dismal! If we're to have freedom into the future, we'll be called on again to defend it . And while this is the home of Britney Spears and Matt Damon, it's also the home of the anonymous brave.
