Michael Ledeen:

The scary thing about our current jam is that 9/11 was supposed to have been the wakeup call, but we are again asleep. For this I blame our leaders — both the administration and the Dems. The administration is constitutionally unable to explain itself, and the Dems have no qualms about losing all present battles so long as they can elect their candidates and bring down this president.

And all of the usual suspects (Kofi Annan et al) are perfectly willing to try and restrain Israel from fighting and weakening a primary instrument of Islamofascism. Luckily, the Israelis did learn from the lessons of the 1930's.
