Reply #7: That's creepy. The scale of it. And the American Flags all over the place. [View All]

It terrifies me as well as crushes me with irony that Israel, or at least the Israeli Leadership, seems quite willing to play Kinder and Genlter Mussolini to Bush's Kinder and Gentler Hitler.

The flags seems a tactical echo of the Nazi Flag Fetish. I wonder if such ultra-flagging has ever occurred for previous visits from the Presidents of teh Old American Republic.

Did they deck with flags when Jimmy Carter visited? Reagan? Bush I?

I would feel better if I knew that this flag fetishizing has some precedent from the days when America was a free nation.
