Thought provoking as always. I would submit that the reason little Israeli girls are writing on bombs is that for Israel, the fight is not one of partisan politics, big words, and diverse idealogies. Rather, they understand that they share borders with nations that have publicly vowed they will never rest until Israel is destroyed. For Americans, it is easy to pretend that the rest of the world doesn't exist, and while there are those that hate us and everything we stand for, logistically we are not an easy target. Little girls in Israel don't have the luxury of two oceans to protect them. Frederick,
