Throw The Jews Under The Bus!

Topics: Political News and commentaries

I agree with this writer that the leftist view of foreign policy ultimately leads to throwing the Jews under the bus to appease the Islamic radicals.

With that in mind, what kind of candidates do we need in the 2008 presidential election, given that essentially throwing the jews under the bus is consistent with the mindset of "a large segment of the Democratic Party that wants a crusading anti-war candidate, in the mold of George McGovern"?

Consider a presidential candidate that agrees with the following comments, albeit highly unlikely that such a candidate would come from the Democratic party:

(...) it is a fact that militant Islam threatens Europe more than it threatens America. And it is a fact that militant Islam threatens Israel more than Europe. But those facts do not imply that the destruction of Israel or the conquest of Europe by militant Islam would serve the U.S. national interest. Those facts do not imply that for America a passive, defensive approach to militant Islam will be less costly in terms of American lives than an aggressive, offensive approach.

(...) ... militant Islam does pose an existential threat. I believe that appeasement will fail. I see our key allies as Australia, Great Britain, India, Israel, and people in other countries who share our commitment to liberty. I see our key adversary as Iran, with dangerous concentrations of enemies also in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the unassimilated Muslim population of Europe.

(...) ... Congress (should) declare war on Iran unless it allows weapons inspectors to monitor its nuclear activities and discontinues its policies of supporting terrorism. I would use this declaration of war not to conquer Iran but to destroy its regime, much of its internal gestapo apparatus, and its nuclear weapons capability.

(...) ... we will find more allies and obtain higher-quality international support if we stand up for American values than if we apologize for them. I think we need to make clear our strong commitment to preserving our own liberty and our support for anyone who shares such a commitment.
