The Middle East Viewed Fairly
The revenge industry has now taken on a new dimension in that terror groups and activists will now use the news media to publish their intention to avenge. One of the headlines in the Jerusalem Post reads “We”ll soon avenge Mughniyeh’s death’ (Aug 22, 2008 11:23 ).
Hezbollah and Neo-Conservative Republicans: Will the real “Party of God” please stand up?
Watching James Baker on his book tour, I couldn’t help but notice how many times he talked about Hizb’allah as the “Party of God”. In the same interview, he glowed over the GOP.

The Minutemen and Sons of Liberty of the American Revolution are Today’s “Unlawful Combatants” – Part Three
In this final segment we investigate a few more rules that dictate the Geneva Convention’s “prisoners of war” definition, we compare terrorism by Hamas, Hizb’allah to the Minutemen and Sons of Liberty. We also follow the money trail and discover who was financially supporting our founding fathers, not unlike Iran and Syria backing Hizb’allah.

Definitions are of little value unless they can be applied to living examples. We begin to comare the arguments against Hizb’allah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda agaisnt “other” terrorist groups – like the Sons of Liberty and the Minutemen of the American Revolution. You thought these were “patriots”? Think again. According to the way the Bush White House defines “terrorists” and “unlawful combatants”, our forefathers were terrorists. “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
