While this still seems to be low on most Americans' radar, things are heating up to a volcanic level in the Middle East. Israel is almost certainly going to launch some type of preemptive strike against Iran if they feel that the point of no return is approaching with their nuclear program.

Today, the deputy commander of the Iranian air force said that they have a plan in place to bomb Israel if such a preemptive strike occurs. They have several targets in range and will be more than happy to take this action.

Meanwhile, there's an article on the Islamic Republic News Agency today reporting that an Iranian spokesman said that supporters of Israel would receive the final response to Secretary Rice's current visit to Palestine on World Qod's Day, the final day of Ramadan, which this year is on October 12.

I don't know about you, but that sends chills through my body. Perhaps it means nothing more than more rhetoric from President Crazy. I sincerely hope that's all it means.

But we need to wake up as a country and listen to what they are saying. A completely insane man is running a country full of people who would like nothing more than to see everyone in Israel and America disintegrated, and he is surging forward in his efforts to obtain nuclear capability. They are threatening us on an almost daily basis. We MUST do something about this.

It's not a matter of whether people around the world hate us. This is a matter of national security. This is a matter of what happens to the world in which we live, and more importantly, in which our children live. I believe this is one of our President's top priorities right now. I know he has very little political capital, but Congress has less. If this turns into a battle of the parties (which it undoubtedly will) we will become less and less safe by the day.

Next year, very little will happen outside of the campaign. The candidates will talk big, but have no power to do anything. It's up to you, W. Don't quit. You still have 15 months to go on your watch. We desperately need you to be strong.
