In
his March 6 address to Congress, President Bush stated that peace in the Middle
East requires compromise, meaning Israel needs to compromise by giving up
ground to the Palestinians in exchange for "peace”. Immediately a shudder
went down my spine. Compromise in the Middle East could spell utter disaster.
Having
defeated Saddam Hussein with unrelenting determination, Bush has shown the
world that he knows all too well that no nation, no people, can ever compromise
with unstable or malevolent adversaries. If Israel at the urging of the Bush
administration "compromises" with the current Palestinian leadership
by giving up land it will be doing something that our president has so strongly
protested in the past, namely reward Saddam's allies for supporting the naked
aggression used against Israel during the war.
As
is clear in the case of Saddam Hussein the only "conscience"
dictators and tern have and this includes the PLO leadership is acquired by
looking down the barrel of a gun. Israel understands this principle that democratic
people can never give groups of tyranny in the name of cooperation and painful
relations. Tyranny will always take full deadly advantage of such a generous
gesture. Free people cannot allow themselves to become lambs for the slaughter;
rather, they must fight like tigers. The tyrant certainly does.
Saddam
and his followers stood resolute in their glorious principles and were willing
to die for their unjust cause. People with values must also fight for their
principles if the human race is to survive the assaults made by its dehumanized
members.
It’s
strange but true that all tyrants just like their democratic counterparts have
principles except that the tyrant’s values are inside out; wrong is their right,
right is their enemy. The tyrant even feels terribly outraged and offended if
you dare object to his raping and murdering of the innocent. Such plundering is
his right his holy duty. As Saddam said last August, after brutalizing Iraq’s
neighbor, “Kuwait belongs to Iraq and always has”.
