Lebanon is the only Christian nation in the entire Middle East. In fact, we wouldn't be having such a huge problem with Hezbollah if Ronald Reagan hadnt withdrawn from Beruit in the 80's. What we need today is an aggressive foreign policy against Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran. And also to ally ourselves strongly with both Israel and Lebanon, the last 2 on-muslim countries in the Middle East. They were not Lebanese Terrorist at that bombing but PLO terrorists.

The left always believes that somehow they can TALK with these monsters. It never works.Anyone who studies any history knows that IRAN has been behind the majority of world terrorism in one form or another. Their country is a sanctuary for anyone who will create havoc and cause political instability.The dirty secret is that most of the middle east countries (except Syria) would love to see them go down. Historically there is no love lost between the Persians and the Arabs. Instead, you see no condemnation of fellow Muslims. The real enemy is the West. They have never gotten over the fall of the Ottoman Empire after WWI.Any reasonable person should by now KNOW that this thuggish theocracy will be a danger to the entire world. Remembers their leaders are fanatical psychotic zealots. The left just will never accept the FACT that some regeimes need to be destroyed.

Terrorism wasn't invented by George Bush as a way to ram through legislation, it's been around for a while.

Iranian and Arab terrorists have visited numerous unprovoked attacks upon innocent Americans. The Jihad carried out by these various groups of brain washed Islamists is the ultimate evil. All their twisted souls will surely find their rightful place in Hell. Your article opens an old wound that hurts to this day and will never be forgotten.
