David or Goliath

This morning I read the result of diplomacy. I hope that doesn't imply changing our international policy, especially concerning the threat coming from Ahmadinejad and Iran. In my estimation, there is no-one more dangerous than one intent on believing a lie. What I'm talking about here is Ahmadinejad trying to negate the Holocaust, an historical fact. Worse, if that is possible, is his attitude toward our President and our country. Enough!

President Obama has a dream of making this a better world, and it would be nice if we could change the minds of those who spew hatred and are in "error". We cannot say that you didn't try, but we can say, What did you expect? Everything is not peachy keen as the news portrays it. We do, in fact, have enemies. We are at war. This is our reality, let no one forget it.

How do we start choosing sides? It is crystal clear that there will be no peace. Picture Iranian President Ahmadinejad with his right fist in the air, demanding an apology for our "crimes"?
Calling the Holocaust a "Big Lie," and having for its policy an ambition to seek and destroy Israel, and dare I add us.

Are they also going to claim that the terrorists had no responsibility for the goings-on around the world, or perhaps deny 9/11 ever happened, or if so maintain that it was of our own doing, like some other idiots out there?

This is how they show their willingness to engage meaningfully with the international community? The better question is: Does Iran want better relations with the United States? I think not. Is it possible that Ahmadinejad thinks of himself as David, (on the right side of the battle line, in which the line has been drawn), has, (or will have shortly), the power to slew the giant, Goliath?

If you've played ballgames in your backyard, you know before the game, you choose sides. This is the question now before us. Who's side are you on? What gives him the right to ask us, that question? Unless, he thinks he's David, and is believing an even bigger lie, that makes him and his ambition a very serious contender. If so, we must stop him now. (As you would take dangerous items from the hands of children, to prevent injury.)

Thinking us a weak and apologetic nation, another lie, may muster retaliatory action toward us by those who are willing to
believe this rhetoric.

Goliath fell in one blow. Was he over-confident, believing that little David couldn't harm him? It was a lie.
