that is exacly what we are doing.  every terrorist we kill by being in iraq is one less terrorist that could be waging war in Lebanon or any other country they wish to fight.\n\nIts kind of like the line from "good morning vietnam"  What are you doing to kill the enemy.   Well we go around and ask them are you the enemy and if they say yes we shoot them."\n\nthey are not just out in the open Its an urban war where we cant go to where they are, they are all over.  We fight were we are untill they stop fighting back then we will go somewhere else until they stop fighting their too.

The Islamic clerics that are against the violence are afraid of the repercussions of their "radical stance". \n\nIt's kind of like Yasser Arafat turning down the Israeli's offer of giving him %99 of the demands that he had put out. Even if he had accepted the offer and tried to make peace with Israel, someone in Hamas or Mujahedin would have assasinated him.

The strongest force in Lebanon is Hezbollah, which has a strong Shi'ite support internationally. Hezbollah was formed as a reaction to Israel's violence (killing 20,000+ people) and will remain as long as Israel threatens the population of Lebanon.

Most Muslims are at the breaking point suffering these murdering monsters that destroy in the name of God.\n\nThe United States, (providing we have non-lib leadership) along with the other nations and peoples of the world that want peace and freedom, will not allow the jihadis to prosper.

for the most part it's muslim against muslim.  they can all die.  if that religion is true then those people will be in their version of paradise.  isn't that where we want to go?

yes of course they have to fight back\n"you believe when you see" iv been there and hell yea...\n\nask yourself when Israel invaded Lebanon what happened?Lebanon fought back that's what happened that's why Israel left Lebanon eventually. but whats happening now in Palestine and Iraq and soon Iran proves that peace was never the answer.i believe that "before freedom comes struggle".till when will we ignore this?a big part of revolution is evolution we should evolve to whats happening now we should learn how to say no and fight back."before revolution comes evolution"

Ha they have no plan for fighting terrorism. To them, it seems logical that if they leave terrorists alone, the terrorists will return the favor. Many liberals believe America is at fault for terrorist attacks, that our culture and ways provoked the Muslim extremism. \n\nBut murder and terrorism is never the solution, especially in a country such as this.\n\nTo canukinsocial's statement: that is exceptionally inaccurate. CIA and NSA have intercepted hundreds of threats against the United States, and although they are certainly sometimes a bit slow, that is why they need a larger budget. So that can improve.

To begin with we need to identify the enemy. This is not a war against "terrorism" This is a global war against radical Islam. \n\nPeople believe that Al Qeada is the head of the snake. Al Qeada is a subset in the real issue of spreading radical Islam. \n\nFrom there we put pressure on countries allowing religious schools to stay open that teach hatred in the name of Islam. It is up to the moderate Islamics in the world to stop radical Islam. non-Muslims cannot stop it they can only fight it. And we will continue to do so until we get help from moderate nations and people of the Middle East. Abbas and the Fatah party in Palestine are fighting a front in the global war against radical Islam against Hammas. We need more groups like the Fatah party to step up throughout the world in places like Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, and Chechnya. An Islamic based group that does not believe so much in violence.  \n\nThat is what we can do about radical Islam/terrorism

If you are talking about Hezbollah taking over Lebanon and tying up those countries into one big Islamic State, I think that is the ultimate goal of Hezbollah. I fear they will try to attack Israel on a large scale attack and will bring much chaos to the region with major repercussions

Yes....it has started to turn into a civil war. To your why......because shia and sunni are two Muslim groups who have been turned against each other . Where there is fuel it is easy to turn it into fire. So there are a lot of people who are exploiting this situation.

I'm syrian, but I think I have enough experience with other lebanese to answer your question. from what I've seen, the majority of lebanese are very open minded. There are strict cultural cliques (that's a muslim neighborhood, no christians live there, or only atheists go into that line of business, etc...) but I think that's relatively common throughout the MidEast. \n\nLebanon certainly has enough stereotypes of being the "loosest" of hte arab countries, but I think that its diversity gives it something no other arab nation has.

Only when:\n\n1. The Earth is hit by a meteor and all human life ceases to exist...\n\nOR..\n\n2. See number 1.\n\nPeople say that if Israel were to cease to exist..it would solve all the problems in the middle east...that simply is not true...The infighting and clan rivalries are centuries old...and we all know that Muslim on Muslim violence is perfectly acceptable there....\n\nCartoons drawn by westerners, however..are worth murdering for...

yes , Lebanon is a small country in the middle east. don't you watch the news??!!! it was the main subject of the media a year ago and there are a lot of lebanese living outside

The whole situation in the middle east is so complicated. I do not even know where to start. The worst thing they could do was to try and start a war with Israel. Not very smart. Hopefully they can rebuild their country and try to live a peaceful life. I hope they do along with everyone else in the middle east.

SADLY, they will gain local credibility and addulation within their constituency... they are the "PARTY OF GOD" whose stated GOAL is the removal of Israel from the map and the death of ALL non-believers.  Hezbollah DOES have an incredible PR department within their own arena... the locals get paid from Iran\n\nYES, there was a brief period of Lebanese nationality when they kicked out Syria's advisors and Army... BUT Hezbollah has gotten better advice from Iran and Syria now and are working the world-media... Israel wasn't reacting to an attack... THEY were the aggressors...\n\nGet ready for the United Islamic Republic (Iran, Syria and newly "invited" members Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey... the old Ottoman Empire under a new name.

Actually, you refer to a Christian politician in Lebanon.  He was murdered because he does not support Syria.
