作者是一个在以色列当过兵的资深老犹。文章倒是批评了希拉克最近在南海上大发厥词，不过并不是因为她多管闲事；相反，这闲事是该管的，但必须保证拳头够硬：

“。。。it cannot succeed if the shrinkage of aircraft and ship numbers, ballistic missile defenses, foreign basing, flying hours, anti-submarine warfare, and the defense-industrial sector continues apace。”

“We must not retreat from making demands that are reasonable and just, but we must be properly equipped to see them through。”

经典的强盗逻辑。
