Israel, Hezbollah, Iran & You

[Repo]

While Americans and Canadians spend their summer relaxing outdoors barbecuing and roasting marshmallows over an open flame, people in Lebanon are running to the hills for cover and people in Israel are hiding out in bomb shelters. Not just another day in the Middle East. A turning point in the Middle East, one that could be very good or very bad depending on the actions and reactions of many...

If you are not up to date on Lebanon, it is a country divided after a brutal civil war, a country that has no control over the fundamentalist terrorist group Hezbollah. Syria only recently ended its occupation of Lebanon and both Syria and Iran have strong ties to Hezbollah, which has armed control over Lebanon, especially over the Lebanese border area with Israel. So when Hezbollah entered Israeli territory killed some soldiers and kidnapped two other Israeli soldiers it in effect also kidnapped all of the Lebanese people, since the Lebanese government and its military is pretty much powerless to stop Hezbollah. So while Israel takes retribution out on Hezbollah's infrastructure, the Lebanese people watch their own infrastructure crumble. Make no mistake about it there are Lebanese people that support Hezbollah but there may be an equal or more number of Lebanese people that hate Hezbollah for controlling their country and for creating the current situation. That situation could and probably will lead Lebanon to another civil war....

Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad they all want the same thing, the destruction of Israel. Now if you are not Jewish and you have no connection to Israel you might think it doesn't concern you but it does. Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad all want what is now Israel and the Palestinian territories to be under Islamic rule as well as the whole Middle East if not the entire world. Those Palestinians cheering on CNN after the World Trade Center collapsed were Hamas members. Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad have connections with not only Iran but with Osama bin Laden. They all want the same thing Islamic rule. Which is why after 9/11 when the world supported the United States, the U.S. should have taken Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad out along with the Taliban. Instead the Bush Administration took out Saddam, a secular government that fought a long war with Iran. Now that Bush took out Saddam, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has used Hezbollah to initiate a war with Israel in an attempt to gain power over the Arab world. Ahmadinejad is a mad man and one must consider him dangerous especially with Iran building a nuclear bomb...

The good news is the current fight between Israel and Hezbollah could set Hezbollah back twenty years or wipe them out completely. It also could lead to Iran getting involved which would give Israel or the United States a reason to destroy their nuclear facility before they can use it. That is the good news...

The bad news is a lot of people will die and it could turn into a world war like no other and if that is not bad enough, gas prices will go through the roof, of course that is if you can find any during a world war...

So enjoy your barbecue and your marshmallows, it is going to be a long hot summer...
