Israel is certainly no angel, and both its politicians and its army make their fair share of mistakes.
But regardless of whether you’re pro or anti Israel, you’ve surely got to admire its upside and wish that other countries could or would achieve the same positive results.

BREAKING NEWS: Romney won't debate Newt one-on-one
www.letfreedomringblog.com12/2/11
Human Events magazine and RedState.com, both part of Eagle Publishing, tried to make history by inviting Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich to one Lincoln-Douglas-style debate. The stunning news is that Mitt declined. …
At the time of writing, December 3, 2011, the Republican presidential primary appears to be narrowing down to a two-man contest between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
Both Human Events and RedState moved quickly to lock down a date for a Lincoln-Douglas-style debate between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
And the two groups went out on a limb last Monday, and firmed up the Annenberg Theater, at the Newseum in Washington as the venue for Dec. 19 – after another debate that was scheduled for that date canceled.
Only One Problem
The Newseum was excited to host the pre-primary forum but there was just one problem.
While Gingrich was ready to take his place on the stage, the Romney campaign politely declined in a series of mostly e-mail exchanges.
And as Joe Guerriero, publisher of Human Events and Red State, put it:
“Newt was all over it, but the Romney camp basically said no. It wasn’t a harsh no, but it was a no".
Romney Should Have Accepted
A Gingrich spokesman confirmed that the candidate was interested and had accepted the invitation, but a Romney spokeswoman failed to return a request for comment.
Guerriero explained that the impetus for the debate was this:
"Romney has long been presumed to be the nominee. But with Gingrich surging in the polls, why shouldn’t the Republican base get a chance to see the two top candidates go toe-to-toe?”.
“No disrespect to any of the other candidates. Given the state of the country, the economy, and the race to date, if Romney is to be the nominee, he needs to go against the best debater with the deepest understanding of policy both domestic and foreign, and that appears to be Newt Gingrich".
Both Rommey And Gingrich Are Good Debaters
So What’s To Be Afraid Of?
It’s no secret that Gingrich loves debates, and he has performed exceedingly well in them, but so has Romney.
Guerriero and his colleagues believe Romney would stand to benefit from a two-person format featuring his toughest opponent to prepare him for debates against President Obama if he does win the GOP nomination.
Guerriero added;
“It looks like Newt’s made a real run at this, and the Romney camp is trying to run out the clock, and we don’t think that’s necessarily a wise strategy. The base should be able to see the top candidates answer the tough questions that these conservative publications don’t believe are being asked".
"Gingrich is itching to do it, but the Romney campaign has been more circumspect".
Right now it seems unlikely that there will be a debate until after the Iowa caucuses.
