"We should be openly calling for regime change"
Michael Ledeen at The Corner on National Review Online has perhaps the most concise summary of what the United States, and indeed the free world, should be seeking as Israel again fights for her survival:
"In another week or so the 'international community' (the appeasers and 'stability' mavens) will force Israel to stop. At that moment, we should want Hizbollah destroyed in both Lebanon and Syria, Assad under attack from his own people for playing this awful game, and Khamenei humiliated as the artefice of a failed operation. We should be openly calling for regime change in Damascus and Tehran, on the grounds that the civilized world cannot any longer tolerate tyrannical murderers"
