There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbours came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

Yes, they should and they must, but will they? Does this apparently increasingly PC group have the courage and the will necessary to fight for their very existence? If so, Israel should not have stopped the attack for the sake of this phony, UN sponsored time-out for the re-arming of Hezballah in the first place. I have the sick feeling that conservative bloggers and other rational people everywhere will be stunned over the next several days by the total lack of interest Israel will have in defending itself. Israels powers-that-be will exhibit no pride, no outrage at being taken advantage of, no stomach for fighting even in self-defense. And our collective jaws will be quite sore from repeatedly hitting the floor. I hope I'm wrong.
