I checked out Jihad Watch. Troll or not, the website's for real. THAT scares me. People really believe this shit. (And yes, in this case I am being clearly biased and obtusely un-open-minded. This is fear mongering shit.) And the website's author just wrote a best-selling book.

What's even more amusing, in a distorted funhouse mirror kinda way, CTS... is that many of these so-called pro-jihad websites (complete with atrociously laughable arabic obviously clobbered together by someone who never learned it as a first language) are based off american servers mostly owned by lobbying firms and/or defense contractors.
Just more scaremongering really, while I am sure there are some die-hard jihadist types, human nature bein what it is, they're comparatively few in all honesty, most folk just wanna get by, pay the bills, have dinner and get some nookie, and occassionally shoot off their mouth politically when they're in their cups.... and that's about it.
So in essence you have a tiny margin of folks over there who'd like us to be scared, and a slightly less tiny margin of folks over here who'd like us to be scared, and the general populace of planet earth not being bombed at the moment too damn busy making ends meet to give a damn, and more concerned about the power bill than a suitcase bomb.
And that's always the way it's gonna be.
Terrorism is a long, loooong way at the bottom of my list of things to worry about, somewhere under "where's the fekkin laundry detergent?" but probably above "Damn, we're low on coffee filters".
I suppose in order to be scared, one would first have to care.

true, after all, the core of "scared" is "care"

The links are'nt exactly rock solid info and one of them is three years old. So lets have some more reliable sources before we start another crusade shall we?

I noticed that he didn't re-examine the argument, so I thought I'd help out a bit.
His argument is that if you are attacked, by your neighbor or by someone living in his house, you have the right to defend yourself. In this case Isreal is making war on the Hezbos.
Your argument is that since the relatively innocent Lebanese are being injured and killed in this conflict, then Isreal is doing the wrong thing.
He fails to offer an alternative means of waging war that will eliminate the collateral damage to the innocent peace loving Lebanese (after all their most famous soldier wore a dress in Korea).
You fail to offer an alternative that stops the attacks on Isreal.
In short that makes you all idiots.
The truth is this war isn't about Isreal bombing Lebanon. Its about the Hezbos hiding their weapons and making their attacks from civilian locations. If they want to wage their war on Isreal, ok, but they need to pick a nice open location in the wildeness away from anybody who doesn't want to get involved. By failing to do this they are responsible for not only the attacks on Isreal, but the death of civilians in Lebanon as well.
Now for my solution: the UN could mandate the Hezbos disarms (they did that), send in an international force (did that too) to help the Lebanese Army gain control of the region and enforce the disarmament resoltuon (now there's an idea).
That works so much better then ordering the disarmament and then sending people to watch while Iranian ships unload ten thousand rockets under your very nose...I'm just sayin.

@Hero:
You'd have a point IF the response from Israel was an appropriate one. But, killing the amount of people they did in response to what Hezbo did, was certainly NOT even handed.
Now, about you "solution". The US and a few others is currently trying to do similar things in Iraq. How's that going for you guys? Basically, don't tell others to do things that your not capable of doing after YEARS of trying. Especially since the US has called the UN useless on several ocassions.
In other words, the US calls the UN useless, pathetic, can't do a thing, etc (I believe you have agreed with this assessment). Then something happens and you are telling us that the UN should do something that the US is not capable of doing after YEARS?!?!
Congratulations, you just entered the same level of crazy as Dukkati.

nah nah nah nah nah, you're all coming at this sideways, if someone was shooting rockets into your house, and in all probability trying to kill you rather then, say, clean out your fridge, what would you, personally, do?
me, i think i'd start off with hiding, don't tend to keep the hardware for responding to attack-by-rocket, unless they were to come within range of my kitchen knives like.
then i'd probably progress to skulling a sizable quantity of whiskey to try and both numb the pain of my recently blown off limbs and kill off the mind-numbing terror i imagine i'd be feeling at this point.
actually come to think of it, i reckon if someone was shooting rockets into my house i'd probably start with dying, then work my way outwards, so to speak >.<
