The manicurist doesn't have those pretensions, so she just sticks to common sense.<br />We have to get that common-sense message to the American government and public. Unfortunately the prevailing winds in the US are giving the message of compromising their own security, so why should they care about someone else's -- unless it's in their economic or political interest, of course.goyisherebbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380171052449799815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-32787509410514503932009-07-15T21:57:50.334+03:002009-07-15T21:57:50.334+03:00Shalom!

Could it be that people tend to lose their sense of normal self defense when they try to be too smart?Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-59454961744921971162009-07-15T20:15:13.382+03:002009-07-15T20:15:13.382+03:00Hadassa, brilliant comment, hits the spot!Hadassa, brilliant comment, hits the spot!Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-53465313345750155882009-07-15T11:54:52.480+03:002009-07-15T11:54:52.480+03:00Shalom!

We always get into trouble when we suggest unwise methods to ourselves, especially when others listen.<br /><br />Mike Freund had a great quote a few years ago. He and his wife were in America visiting family and Israel was suffering terror attacks, as usual. His wife went to have a manicure. Part of the conversation was the following:<br />"What's with your country (Israel)?"<br />"Well, the government is worried about what America will say."<br /><br />The manicurist stopped, looked at Mrs. Freund and said: "But they're killing you."<br /><br />Freund wrote that there was more sense in what the manicurist said than in anything any of the politicians were saying. I agree.Hadassanoreply@blogger.com
