Mein Kampf

Iranian commentator Taheri describes Hezbollah's state within a state, it's connection with the theocratic government, and marks the ultimate goals of this organization, which is essentially a state at war with the West.
Which is, of course why the Sunni Arabs are worried...

Steyn comments about the Iranians, and then notes this:

Meanwhile, Kofi Annan in a remarkable display of urgency (at least when compared with Sudan, Rwanda, Congo et al.) is proposing apropos Israel and Hezbollah that U.N. peacekeepers go in, not to keep the "peace" between two sovereign states but rather between a sovereign state and a usurper terrorist gang. Contemptible as he is, the secretary-general shows a shrewd understanding of the way the world is heading: Already "non-state actors" have more sophisticated rocketry than many EU nations; if Iran has its way, its proxies will be implied nuclear powers. Maybe we should put them on the U.N. Security Council.

So what is in reality Israel's first non-Arab war is a glimpse of the world the day after tomorrow: The EU and Arab League won't quite spell it out, but, to modify that Le Monde headline, they are all Jews now.

No, I don't know much about the Middle East. But I do know that when terrorists take over governments, it is because the good people who love peace essentially left them do it...and that when these groups run governments, that not only do the people under them suffer, but the holier than thou pacifists move on to the next faddish conflict.

Robert Mugabe call your office...Ta Mok is on the line....
