"Fraidy" Cats

As far as I know none of the Democratic presidential candidates have agreed to appear on Fox New Channel, either in debate or specific shows. They all feel Fox leans to far right, to conservative. In other words, they are uncomfortable defending their positions in a conservative platform.

If they are afraid of Fox News what in the world will they do if elected and presented with the task of a confrontation with the likes of Iranian President Ahmadinejad, North Korean Premier Kim or, heaven forbid, an attack on Israel as promised by Ahmadinejad.

It is not unreal to expect Iran to attack Israel. Ahmadinejad has threatened this since his election in 2005. It is not unreal to expect that attack to be nuclear. We better expect and plan for the attack. This man, who denies the Holocaust, is radical and capable of anything.

There has been no real advancements in stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran has repeatedly lied, stalled and confused the world regarding their nuclear aspirations. It is time that America, the European Union, United Nations, Russia and the rest of the civilized world stop Iran's nuclear ambitions, once and for all. If stopping Iran requires a preemptive strike, then we better do it now!

I have not heard or read where any presidential candidate stands on the defense of Israel. As Christians we must be concerned with the defense of Israel... God's chosen people. As Christians we must make the defense of Israel a platform that all candidates must address to the American people. As Christians we must know that our President and Congress will support and defend one of our most loyal allies, Israel.
