Israel's Sovereignty Remains Intact if Her Leadership Remains True to Her Established Right To Exist Intact

Those of us who have followed PM Netanyahu's political maneuverings while serving his country have an appreciation of his efforts beyond the immediate results of the accomplishment(s), which when compared with the countering efforts of his opposition, provides proof that if one wants to see action in the Middle East, watch PM Netanyahu. Not everyone perceives what he does as universally good, but one would have a hard time denying he does get results.

Many will characterize the activities of PM Netanyahu as potentially dangerous, in that many will predict he will lead his nation into the next intifada, which may be true. There are those of the hordes of Israel's enemies who would desire nothing less than to engage Israel in a fight to the death (they presuppose incorrectly the death of Israel), yet they have not analyzed the true circumstances of the failure waiting for those who want to 'wipe Israel off the map.'

The American Administration is finding itself faced with a stark realization that, just as the health care program is not following some socialist agenda to an easy conclusion, so too, the scenario of a Middle East peace pact that penalizes Israel is not accomplishable in a two year program either. This is because they have failed to understand that it was not the radical leftist elements that elected the current administration, but the bulging middle moderates that did. And therein lies the real reason Israel needs to seek her destiny through the independent thinking of PM Netanyahu, which hopefully can continue counting on the true American support for Israel and her continued establishment as a sovereign nation, and not the Arabist mentality of her antagonists.
