The IDF Could Pick Up A Point Or Two From This Seven-Year-Old

In the hopes of improving our daughter's writing skills, we gave her a small notebook, so that she would start writing something--anything!--in it. Instead, it looks like her friends are going to be improving their writing skills instead.

Here is the cover of the notebook.
Don't be taken in by the pink, furry, cat exterior...

During recess at school, their favorite game is Boys vs. Girls, and based on the plan that my daughter's friend wrote up, those boys don't have a chance.


For those who cannot--or have forgotten how to--read 7-year-old, the above reads:

A. We sneak on them.
B. We hear what their plan is against us.
C. We get them.

Simple and to the point.
Considering the way things are going up in Lebanon, the IDF may want to keep this plan in mind.

Just a question for you, out of my own curiosity. This past week in Berlin the EU was trying last ditch efforts to stop the advancement of Iran's nuclear progression.

This obviously got the Islamic population here quite preterbed. As a observer in many middle eastern conflicts, how would you justify the world condeming muslim countries having nuclear programs, yet openly supporting aggresive Jewish progression?

Just something I was thinking about the other day and I was wondering your views and how you think is would effect a Jewish state.

The question would center on your position on the "aggressive Jewish progression"--by which I assume you are referring to Israel.

While President Ahmadinejad of Iran has openly initiated threats against Israel, Israel has not initiated threats against any Arab country that has not threatened her first--but has reacted, and has not threatened to "wipe them off the map" as Ahmadinejad has threatened Israel.

Keep in mind that during Israel's war with Hezbollah, the point was made in the media that the Arab World was not too happy with Iran--which was supporting Hezbollah--either, and considered them something of a threat.

If you're interested, there is an article in the Economist from 2002 explaining why the fuss made about Iraqi plans for acquiring nuclear capabilities differed from Israel. Some of the points apply to Iran as well.

That. Is. Awesome.

Your daughter and I would've SO hit it off in elementary school.

Shana Tova!
