At Atlas Shrugs. A snip:
...I just wanted to tell you that we, Marines, SUPPORT Israel in their war against Hamas and Hizbullah. I cannot express to you how many Marines I have talked to or have heard say how proud of Israel they are. I cannot tell you how happy I am that Israel is destroying Hamas and Hizullah. We all CHEER when we watch Lebanon being bombed on TV in the Chow Hall. I hope Israel annihilates Hamas, Hizbullah and Syria. Because the way we see it, that is less Jihadists for us to fight. I can't speak for all Marines, but the Marines that I know and talk to stand by Israel 100%. And I am in the infantry, we are front line Marines. Warriors. We support Israel because we have fought the same people they are fighting, Jihadists. This is a world war...
More reason that Walt & Mearsheimer are wrong.
To be emphatic, Walt and Mearsheimer exampled a wastreling and maundering dissipation, essentially a de facto anti-Israel if not anti-Semitic animus; they were not simply or merely wrong, they were dangerously and malignantly wrong.
