Wanna talk about how China, India, and Pakistan enter into this little
equation?

Stan finally gets it. Israel and the USA have far greater military power,
yet that power is
useless. Each American bomb only provokes the Arabs more. They can not be
bombed into peace.
The Islamic jihadists drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan and they are well
on their way to
driving us out of the Arab world.

Christopher Dickey and Rod Nordland's article in this week's Newsweek is a
frightening
assessment of what's happening in the Middle East. Frightening for Israel
especially. I
usually sleep like a log. Now I'm not sleeping very well. - S.S.
Take a look at this:
"No one denies that Hizbullah started the fight, with its unprovoked
incursion into Israel,
and no one doubts that Israel can win it, at least in conventional terms.
But that's not
what matters as much as public perceptions, and the impact those perceptions
have from
Tehran to Cairo. The conflagrations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq risk
converging, if not on the
ground, then in that virtual reality-on satellite television and the
Web-where Al Qaeda and
Hizbullah find recruits for their global networks. Israel can bomb Lebanon's
infrastructure
all it wants, but Hizbullah, which operates beyond the limits of a state,
ultimately has no
infrastructure. Hizbullah's own rockets and missiles can miss nearly all
their targets, with
comparatively little loss of life, but so long as they keep firing, they
shatter the myth of
Israeli invincibility and win friends and admirers in a radicalized Muslim
world. "The
Zionist enemy has not been able to reach a military victory," said Hizbullah
leader Hassan
Nasrallah in a speech Friday on his organization's Al-Manar TV, still
broadcasting despite
Israeli Air Force strikes that obliterated its studios and transmission
towers. "I'm not
saying that. They said that. The whole world is saying that."
