Carte Blanche

In the wake of Israeli bombings of a terrorist camp within Syria, President Bush came down strongly on the side of Israel (and against not only the terrorists, but also international law). Without explicitly endorsing the attacks, Bush said, "Israel must not feel constrained in terms of defending the homeland." In other words, Do what you need to do, we're behind you all the way to Aleppo!

Great. But I guess it shouldn't surprise me that Bush is all for invading countries that dislike you. Who needs allies when you could have serfs??
