Cheney: Iraq pullout would hurt Israel

A U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq would be damaging to Israel, Dick Cheney said.

"We must consider, as well, just what a precipitous withdrawal would
mean to our other efforts in the war on terror, to our interests in the
broader Middle East, and to Israel," the U.S. vice president said over
the weekend to a Republican Jewish Coalition leadership gathering in
Latana, Fla.

"Commentators enjoy pointing out mistakes through 20/20 hindsight. But
the biggest mistake of all can be seen in advance: A sudden withdrawal of
our coalition would dissipate much of the effort that has gone into
fighting the global war on terror, and result in chaos and mounting danger.
And for the sake of our own security, we will not stand by and let it
happen," Cheney said. He has a similar message earlier this month to
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual policy forum.

President George Washington on "entangling alliances" with foreign nations:

  "Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies
against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should be
excluded . . .

  "A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety
of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an
imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists,
and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a
participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate
inducement or justification."

  "In the execution of such a plan nothing is more essential than that
permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations and passionate
attachments for others should be excluded, and that in place of them just
and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated. The nation which
indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in
some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection,
either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its
interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more
readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of
umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable when accidental or trifling
occasions of dispute occur.

  "Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests.
The nation prompted by ill will and resentment sometimes impels to war the
government contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government
sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through
passion what reason would reject. At other times it makes the animosity of
the nation subservient to projects of hostility, instigated by pride,
ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often,
sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations has been the victim.

  "So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces
a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the
illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common
interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays
the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter
without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions
to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly
to injure the nation making the concessions by unnecessarily parting with
what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will, and a
disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are
withheld; and it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who
devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to betray or sacrifice
the interests of their own country without odium, sometimes even with
popularity, gilding with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation,
a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public
good the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or
infatuation....

  "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in
extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political
connection as possible.

  "Why forgo the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to
stand upon foreign ground?

  "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any
portion of the foreign world ..."

     Farewell Address, September 17, 1796

¡$How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico¡"
By John Dillin
http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0706/p09s01-coop.html

Excerpt:

  ¡$General Eisenhower ... quoted a report in The New York Times,
highlighting one paragraph that said: ¡ØThe rise in illegal border-crossing
by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year
has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending
all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the
highest levels of the Federal Government ..."

  ¡$Herbert Brownell Jr., Eisenhower's first attorney general, said the
president had a sense of urgency about illegal immigration when he took office.

  ¡$America ¡Øwas faced with a breakdown in law enforcement on a very large
scale,¡| Mr. Brownell said. ¡ØWhen I say large scale, I mean hundreds of
thousands were coming in from Mexico [every year] without
restraint.¡|"

"Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are
engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent Social
Security numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses
represent some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal
aliens on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status.
In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also
prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today's federal prison
population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of
felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal
aliens."

  -- Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border, Security and Claims [Note: 99% of
warrants for murder in Los Angeles, California -- the USA's 2nd
most-populous city -- are for illegal aliens]

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless
minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
   -- Samuel Adams
