Walt and Mearsheimer get a positive review that won’t be blurbed on the book jacket http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/walt/ Stephen Walt responds to the endorsement of his book by Osama bin Laden, and David Rothkopf and Jeffrey Goldberg say it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving book en-us efingerhut@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-17T;23:31:00-05:00 Comment by Thomas Roberts whamslam007@aol.com Ah, yes ... the Zionists ... oh the Zionists. As goes David so go all the other wingnuts dwelling on Zionism on this board. As with the others so with David, none of you have any idea what a Zionist is and what effect, if any, Zionism has on Modern Israel. In the outside world it is simply a catch word used by Muslim and Leftist fanatics (the apparently several hundred million of them!) to demonize Jews and Israel. So how about finding out reality before posting. This board CAN be a serious board for discussion of Israeli-Palestinian issues. It has been rapidly degrading to the level of the slimy AOL and Yahoo chat rooms and boards. Ah, yes ... the Zionists ... oh the Zionists.

Ignoring also “who is to blame”, for the moment, If President Obama can succeed in pressuring both sides to make a just and lasting peace, whether they like it or not, an imposed peace would be better than no peace at all.

As far as Walt and Mearsheimer’s book is concerned, Bin Laden didn’t make a serious investment. I got the book for $1.90 at Amazon.com and he could get it too for the same price. It’s not worth a cent more… David, you better don’t classify the stupids, just look in the mirror. As far as

Fingerhut’s argument is a variant of Argument by Slogan, in which an argument is denounced because some unpopular person may also embrace it.
