Well, Sparky, I think it's sad that Netanyahu resorts to sick fear-mongering, however euphonious and poetic-sounding.

What do make of this quote:
Quote:
President George W. Bush, in an address to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001 said, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
Same kind of divisive, war-accelerating, jingoism. The purpose of such a statement is not to convey truth, but to justify past and future aggression.
