From a friend in Israel:

"As bombs were going off in Netanya and Shavei Shomron, EU's foreig n policy chief, Solana, was gleefully telling Israel that the EU would like to be a ' third-party presence' in the Gaza Strip, once Israel leaves. The Je rusalem Post's front page reports that the EU is open to 'assuming security

responsibilities.' Perfect timing! EU's offer comes on the annive rsary of the Srebrenica Massacre. EIGHT THOUSAND murdered in yet another UN-protected 'safe zone.'

Leaving your security to someone other than yourself is suicide."

Comment: The foregoing applies to nations and to individuals. Allowing someone else to do "for" you what you ought to be doing for yourself is a foolish capitulation that will come back to bite you in the butt... sooner than you think!
