Yesterday reminded Americans what we are up against andwhy neither Democratic candidate for President is up to the challenge of that high office.

A Hamas gunman murdered seven teenagers and one adult, including an Ameircan citizen, at a seminary during a dinner time meal. Hamas is supported by the Iranian government, the same country that wants to push Israel into the sea.

These are the stakes - the modern western world, Israel and other democracies versus killers of children.

John McCain understands this and Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama do not. There can be no negotiating with countries that swear death to freedom loving people and the national campaign will provide the American voters with a clear choice on who will keep America safe from a similar fate.
