CNN - Hezbollah ready for 'war on every level'

CNN.com - Hezbollah ready for 'war on every level' - Jul 14, 2006

"You wanted an open war, you will have an open war," Nasrallah said. "You don't know who you are fighting today. You are fighting the children of Mohammed, ali Hassan and Hussein. You chose the war to fight against people who believe in their pride."

I'm not one of those Israel right or wrong type Evangelicals but this is a time where Israel has had enough of Hezbollah and now is the final straw. I'm not going to opine about how Israel should fight this war. They are surrounded by enemies and will fight all out. I do hope civilians will be spared but it's going to be nasty.

One of the silly things I hear from some folks is that Israel should only return fire in proportion to the damage done to Israel. That's just a pant load of crap! If a terrorist organization planted themselves outside Mexico and were launching missiles into San Diego would be just keep up the tit for tat? Heck no, we'd kick the crap out of them. Regretfully, Israel is at war. If Iran or Syria gets involved then we've got a world war. If Israel feels they act alone then I fear the use of nuclear weapons. Again, I'm not telling Israel what to do but just expressing the fears I have about this situation.

I also hope the American Evangelicals don't turn this into an end-times nut case scenario. I really don't believe this is an act of God. We need to remember that there are human beings involved here. If this really explodes it will affect us all.
