Just place these events on a map and a clear picture emerges.
An Iran-Syrian-Hizbullah-Hamas terrorist alliance is waging war against Israel; seven bombings in Mumbai, India, killed more than 200 people; North Korea, launched seven missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the West coast of the continental United States; seven Americans pledging allegiance to al-Qaida on video tape; a plot to bomb New York City subways and tunnels; 18 Canadians arrested with twice the explosive force used in the Oklahoma City bombing. Now add all the cities where previous events have occurred and a global campaign of terror is no longer deniable.
The free world must stand up to the barbarism or be defeated by it.
In the current conflict, the free world must stand ready to support the democratic government of Lebanon in its quest to impose authority over all of Lebanon but especially its southern border region. This will test the resolve of the civilized world to turn this vicious attack on a democracy into an opportunity for an historic victory over terrorists and their state sponsors.
In this crisis of civilization, with nerve and steady focus it is possible to win a decisive victory.
Support Israel for a decisive a clear victory against Hizballah , Hamas , Iran & Syria .
