   ....of [1]dominoe theory in the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict.

     So here's another domino theory for you, updated: Iran is bent on
     hegemony, and Lebanon is a pawn in the game. Take a stand here, and
     it might help stop Iran. Give in, and more than Lebanon may be
     lost. Think Czechslovakia in World War II.
     The situation is further complicated by the fact that we are now in
     an atomic age. Previous tyrants never had access to destructive
     means of the magnitude. But now they do. This particular marriage
     of tyranny, religious megalomania, and nuclear physics has never
     been consummated before. But get ready: that horrific menage a
     trois is about to take its vows.
     At the moment, Israel is fighting for its life. Some care about
     that, some don't. Some would cheer if the entire country were wiped
     off the face of the earth. But make no mistake. The words of Eric
     Hoffer, written in 1968, resonate with eerie prescience:
     I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with
     Israel, so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish, the
     holocaust will be upon us.

   Any disagreement that the world is at war, with Iran at the center of
   it, is a fantasy. If the world doesn't face up to reality, and soon,
   things could get a great deal worse before they ever get better.
   Neo is right. The time to take a stand is now.
