Those who think that the ceasefire in Lebanon ended the war are living in a fool's paradise. The war in Lebanon was just one campaign in an overall war being waged against us by fundamentalist Islam and Arab radicalism. The war's goal is to wipe Israel off the map in the Middle East, or at least to push us back to the 1967 borders. This war also has a clear two-stage strategic plan put together in Teheran: The current stage can be called – the guerilla and attrition stage – during which the Palestinians and Hizbullah will create casualties on the Israeli home front by firing rockets and dispatching suicide bombers. The idea is to humiliate the IDF with severe blows, forcing it to respond and subsequently losing the support of the international community. At the same time, Israeli civilian resistance will begin to crumble, the IDF bereft of its confidence, will have its combat capabilities eroded by the Sisyphean pursuit of terror cells and rocket launching pads. The next stage The next stage – Israel's defeat – will witness the active participation of Syria, Iran and perhaps some other warring factors. Ballistic missiles will be directed at Israel under Iran's nuclear patronage. Iran may even decide to use nuclear arms against Israel. As a result, Israel will have no choice but to accede to a political settlement of surrender or disappear. Those seeking evidence of this strategic plan will find much of it, not only in military intelligence material, but also in the context of speeches made by leaders of the radical front delivered in Damascus, Teheran and Gaza this week. The danger is clear and imminent, and Israel should have put it high on its list of national priorities a long time ago and be prepared to eliminate it completely. | |

| #3 Their greatest mistake is contentment with the status quo. If someone fights you, you cannot, you must not, accept that they will walk away from the fight having lost nothing. They *must* pay, and in some way that matters to them, not you. That is why they must penalize Arab aggression with land takings. It can be done in a humane and honest manner, but it must be done. And done for each and every act of violence that they do. That leaves the Paleos only two choices: non-violence, or eventually to be forced out. The same principal applies to the Shiites in Lebanon. Since they are unmanaged by the government, they must be managed by someone else, and Hezbollah is not an alternative. So the IAF enters southern Lebanon, they push the Shiites out. NOT just Hezbollah, but all of the Shiites. For good. Lebaneze Christians and Sunni may live there, but the Shiites must go north, or go to Syria, FOR GOOD. |

| #2 Everything said in the article has been said here. A total missile threat against Israel will force surrender without war. By that time, emigration and economic collapse would have crippled the country. Israel can only exist if Iran's Ayatollah's are out of power. If it had a free hand against Hizbollah, then the Shiite-Sunni (Hamas) contest might conclude. Ayatollah power has to be destroyed by the end of September. And it can be done without touching Teheran or causing enormous loss of life. |

| #1 The first stage for Israel is elections to replace the socialist dolts they elected. |
