,"Israel has no choice. Islamism has come to fill the space that used to be occupied by Arab nationalism in Nasser's time: an ideology of rejection, resistance and false promise of a Middle East without Israel. Israel's withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza, whatever their merits, have only fed this Islamism with lore of sacrifice and victory. The Islamists have a narrative, and they think the world conforms to it. The narrative is based on a very partial reading of reality. It has to be defeated, just as Nasser's narrative had to be defeated. It took the 1967 war to demolish the Arab nationalist/Nasserist narrative. Israel has no choice but to deliver a blow sufficient to destroy the Islamist narrative, in which Hezbollah looms large.
"Incredibly, Nasrallah is making the same mistakes as Nasser. By puffing himself up, he isn't deterring Israel; at this point, he's only making himself and his movement a bigger and more legitimate target. Hezbollah has become a prisoner of its own myth, which is that at any moment it can go one-on-one against Israel - and win. It can't, and now is the best opportunity to prove it - to Lebanese Shiites, to all Lebanese and to the rest of the Arab-Muslim world.
"At any moment in time, it is Israel that can turn Nasrallah either into a cinder or a shadow figure like Osama bin Laden, reduced to sending defiant missives from some basement or cave. And Israel can scatter the big chiefs of Hezbollah like the United States scattered the Taliban. This has to be the objective - bin Ladenization of Nasrallah, Talibanization of Hezbollah - and it is not beyond reach. Of course, bin Laden and the Taliban still exist, but they aren't a regional or global factor. That is the objective here as well."

Democracy Now w/Amy Goodman....If you have an IPOD you can download (for free) the previous days episode and you will be amazed at what I call "the last bastion of true journalism" left in this country. News for the people without an agenda....just facts.

... well... the thing is... your not going to get the whole story on any one news program most likely... but watching/looking on the internet at several different sources can give you a much better view of everything that's going on... from BBC to Fox news and everything in between... actually, if you look at yahoo's news page, off of the main page, it will let you select news from several different sources... so you can do a lot of it on one page...

try online sites like cnn.com, news.bbbc.co.uk, aljazeera.net, npr, et al. there are many sites to get news stories from. i suggest reading a few different ones because you can get different perspectives on the same story. i don't have a tv but i stay pretty well informed listening to npr on the radio or online and reading various news websites.
