In a speech earlier in front of the Israeli Knesset in honor of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the nation of Israel, President George W. Bush denounced those who would engage in appeasement of terrorists. Will Bunch, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, has in response accused President Bush of "political treason".
That's quite extreme. Bush could have simply been offering reassurances to the Israelis, who might be concerned as to what kind of future the next elections might bring, and how that might affect them. He could have simply been referring to appeasers within the political left of Israeli society.
More than likely,however, he was simply referring to all appeasers the world over, including within the United States.
Yet, bear in mind that Bush did not actually mention Barak Obama by name-he merely attacked the policy of appeasement and all those in general who would practice it.
Mr. Will and all others of a similar frame of mind need to calm down. Senator Obama has not become the standard bearer of the Democratic Party yet.
