Rice Wants Israel to Crush Hezbollah Before Peace Talks

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice won't be going on a peace mission any time soon. Instead, she's going to wait until Israel makes the need for peace talks pointless by destroying Hezbollah, along with who knows how many civilians. Sure, Hezbollah kills civilians, too, but that doesn't make it right.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will not go on a peace mission to the Mideast before next week, giving Israel time to "defang" Hezbollah, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

Maybe Israel should listen to one of their own instead of a member of the Bush administration. This quote comes to mind:

"If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies." — Moshe Dayan
