#1 Assuming the histories aren't being written in Arabic.

#2 The blood of innocents cover Hezbollah, and Iran/Syria. Only genuinely evil people would force their own women and children to take a bullet for them. It only confirms in my mind that we need to close Gitmo, and take no islamofascist prisoners.

#3 Assuming the histories aren't being written in Arabic.

That's what I'm worried about. One side puts everything it has in the fight and doesn't play by the rules (he subverts them instead, very successfully), while the other half-heartedly struggle back for one part, and actively collaborate for the other.
Really, if this goes forth like that, I'm not betting on us, especially for old Europe which will probably end up part of the muslim world much earlier than its Enlightened Elites hope.

#4 Re #2: Only genuinely evil people would force their own women and children to take a bullet for them.

What makes you think it's their women and children? It certainly could be Christian, Druse, or even Jewish folk, yes?

Or -

"Hey, Mahmoud! Ya wanna git ridda your first wife and kids? Put 'em in the 'safe house' over there."

#5 I've been reading that volume of ancient inscrutable Western wisdom, known as Aesop's Fables, lately. The fable of the tortoise and the hare comes to mind in this instance.

#6 Does the hare nuke the turtose in the end ?

#7 "Assuming the histories aren't being written in Arabic."

Exactly. History tends to be dictated by the side that wins.

#8 Sad as it may seem, Hezbollah may just as well be doing all of us a favor. Assuming that they are not launching out of Christian or Druze neighborhoods, they are then merely chlorinating the Shia gene pool with their irresponsible launchings. As always, the faster these maggots expunge themselves and all their kin from the face of this earth, the better.
