Ole Chuckie shows us this week what he likes about Israel: Defending Ourselves. Chuckie thinks it's just fine that Sharon ordered a hit on the spiritual leader of Hamas (Sheikh Ahmed Yassin):
Well I don’t care what the rest of the world says, I say, way to go Israel, we could take a lesson from you in this country. What it comes down to is do we destroy our enemies or do we sit back and let our enemies destroy us? And believe me folks, it’s going to be one way or the other, there is no middle ground.
Well, Chuckie, there might be some problems with that. I suppose it would be too much to expect Chuckie to actually read Israeli articles on the action. Like this piece by Ben Kaspit: After Yasin's killing, the worst is yet to come Maariv International 03/22/04. Kaspit says:
Time will tell who will hunt and who will be hunted, who will be predator and who will be prey. Let us pray that the assassination of Yasin will not cause the entire Arab world to rise up against us, not drown us all in a sea of blood and not turn our own maelstrom into a world-wide religious war. Let us hope that it was the right decision.
But in Chuckie's Christian Right worldview, having the whole Arab world rise against Isreal would be a good thing because it helps bring on the Apocalypse.
I would say it's a safe bet that Chuckie never visits Juan Cole's blog. If he did, he might have seen some of Cole's reflections on how the assassination of Yassin increases risks for American troops in Iraq. Like this one:
At a time when American soldiers and civilians throughout Iraq are already daily being targeted by Sunni Muslim guerrillas, for Ariel Sharon to order the murder of Yassin and seven others while they were leaving a mosque is an act of treason against his American ally. It doubles the danger for every American man and woman in Iraq.
No, I'm sure Chuckie cain't be bothered readin' stuff like that. He's too busy cheering for killin' A-rabs to worry about the fine points.
