The Israel-Hezbollah war has so many far-reaching consequences and possibilities that it's mind-boggling. Right now I'm wondering about the effect on Iraq. I understand there are a lot of pro-Hezbollah demonstrations and such. As the Arab world unites more closely, forgetting differences for the sake of killing Jews, the United States simply cannot afford to let down Israel. It is essential to the future of the USA that Israel stays strong. Why? If the US washes its hands of Israel, not only would we be selling out a free and democratic society to the same sort of people that hit us on 9/11, not only would it would be totally immoral, but we would also be saying to the Muslim peoples that western style democracies, no matter how tough they seem, can be brought down by a united Muslim front and a whole heck of a lot of terrorism. You want to know what it has been like to live in Israel the last few years, when you never know if your bus or pizza place will get blown up, you'll find out if Israel falls, because that shit is gonna go off big time here.

Back to Iraq. If the people of Iraq finally decide to unite under the banner of killing Jews, maybe then it will be time for the US to pull out. At that point we may have to gear up for the real war, the war between Islam and the West. I just can't help but think that if Israel is defeated, or has to back down in a manner the Muslim world would consider humiliating, then that war will come. I don't want it to, and that's why we have to support Israel in every way possible now.
