god bless ed koch!

Ed Koch, former U.S. Congressman and former mayor of New York, is no conservative. He has views on various topics (particularly social issues) that I disagree with. It's important, however, to celebrate when a national figure as prominent as Mr. Koch speaks the truth. Link to www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/7/28/131856.shtml to view Mr. Koch's July 29 column concerning Israel and Hezbollah. Mr. Koch doesn't mince words. He says that Israel is acting correctly, and would be justified in being even tougher in their response. He condemns Hezbollah for the cowardly way in which they hide behind innocent women and children. This column is "must-reading", especially for those who still cling to the delusion that appeasement/negotiating can take the place of military action in dealing with Islamofacism.
