Is Hizballah Waging War on Americans?
(National Review) - Aaron Mannes The October 15 attack against U.S. diplomatic personnel in Gaza may have been a signal that Hizballah (after al-Qaeda, the number one terrorist killer of Americans) has reinitiated hostilities with the U.S. after a lull in anti-U.S. attacks since the 1980s. A first priority must be defanging Hizballah by breaking up its cells around the world and pursuing sanctions against Iran and Syria, its state backers. These steps may lead to further confrontation - but, if past experience teaches anything, retreat will only embolden the terrorists.
