The Lebanese allowed Hizbollah to operate from their southern territories. They could have appealed to the international community to come and police that area, they could have expelled Hizbollah from their seats of government. Would Americans allow The Taliban Party to claim seats in the US Senate? The Lebanese had their chance to join the civilized world, and blew it with inaction, thereby providing sanctuary to known terrorists. That was the standard under which we invaded Afghanistan. Unfortunately the Taliban still survive; we should have killed or captured all of them. The same should be the fate for the terrorist ally Lebanese government, and any civilian who also provides material aid and comfort to Hizbollah.
One quote I liked was according to a Pentagon source: "Hizbullah made the same mistake as Hamas when it did not predict the ramifications of its actions and ignored the regional and international changes since the fall of Saddam Hussein."

It's time for Bush to put his money where his mouth is and invade Lebanon, topple their government, and then move on to Syria. If Iran doesn't like it, they can be next.
Ann Coulter says a lot of terrible things, but her quote about conquering and Christianizing the entire Middle East looks more and more appealing.
What is the difference between that plan, following a huge attack on American _civilians_, and our plan of conquering and converting Germany and Japan from Fascism following a huge attack on American _military targets_?
The overall problem of Muslim Terrorism is not a few radicals running around with weapons, it is that a large segment of Middle Easterners support terrorists, if only in thought, and if they don't support, then there is an utter lack of public will to stop them.
