The U.S. government has been, and continues to be, a major supporter of state-supported terrorism, favoring retaliatory or preemptive aggression over mediation in the world court, and avoiding accountability by excluding itself from the globally accepted definition of terrorism.
It will not be long, before Israel is tempted to reinvade Lebanon. And as long as there is no substantial change in the US fundamentalist vision, the same destructive US policy that has pushed Iraq and Afghanistan back into pre-barbaric times is going to be attempted in Lebanon.
Therefore, we can say that we have only witnessed the first phase in a long conflict over the future of Lebanon, intertwined with the longer conflict over the future of Palestine.
The renewed lethal Israeli air raids on Gaza in the first day after the ceasefire in Lebanon is a precursor of worse to come.
To sum up, Hizbollah’s achievement may indicate that the days of the US empire in the Middle East are numbered and nearly over.

Preemptive war legally means to strike being provoked by a threat or force actually existing.
Well, in order the Middle East countries are indeed culturally usurped by the US. In fact, the influence of US saps their production and US threatens to label them as terrorists and other bad names if they refuse.
Based on these arguments, I think the middle east should defend themselves in a preemptive war but not anymore through military force but through influence, economic force and diplomacy. They just can't fight the US hegemon alone.
So, the Middle East countries must fight a preemptive war with "The Rest of the World" for them to be successful.

a million. The Nazi invasion of Poland replaced into no longer a preemptive attack; Poland had no designs on attacking Germany. Had Poland rather attacked Nazi Germany, that could desire to have been a preemptive attack, as Hitler did plan on attacking Poland. 2. Pearl Harbor replaced right into a preemptive attack, yet no longer as a results of fact Japan felt threatened by utilising a "belligerent and militarily threatening u . s .". the eastern fleet replaced into greater desirable than the yankee Pacific Fleet, which replaced into being sapped by utilising redeployment of ships to the Atlantic. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor with the intention to steer clear of america from interfering interior the invasions of Malaysia and the Dutch East Indies. 3. Israel did attack Egypt, as nicely of Jordan and Syria, preemptively in 1967. Israeli intelligence believed that those international locations have been making waiting to attack them. As Israel replaced into an exceedingly small united states, it may desire to ill have the money for to have the Arab international locations act first. The Yom Kippur conflict of 1973, whilst the Israelis have been shocked almost ended the rustic; the miracle stand of Israeli tanks on the Golan Heights fairly saved the Syrians from over working Israel. And Israel replaced into continuously saved on preserve by utilising associates that overtly avowed to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the Earth. Your positioned up could be a effective background lesson, in case you had a greater helpful draw close of background.

Ok, so what! Personally, we should be conducting political assassination on world leaders that support and finance terrorism! Bush is too nice and is trying to balance to much sh__t! I don't trust Saudi Arabia, or any of these so called friendly Arab countries...they smile at our ambassadors and provide training camps, materials, logistics, and cash to terrorist.
You see at one time we trusted a terrorist organization called "Black September". We (Carter) turned his back just like the Shah of Iran, and let Black September massacre Israeli athletes in 1972 at the Olympics. Then, all of a sudden we quit paying, and then we started loosing Americans a few here, a few there in the 70's. Then in the 80's trying to keep peace in Lebanon we loose over 200 Marines, on, and on, and on this goes. So you see, Mr. Bush is only cleaning up what "Liberal" Presidents didn't finish or failed to finish...ok his English is terrible, his conduct is sometimes immature, but he is the President of the United States of America, and my friend no future president (democratic or republican) will be in a position to not continue this war on terrorism.

I think you have things backwards. The people of the Middle East
have been attacking us for many years. We just got tired of it after the 9-11 attack against us. If the Arab countries of the Middle
East would stop attacking the rest of us, no one would bother them.

Self-sufficient is right those were all attacks by Arabs. I think some people of the middle east need to wait for another American administration in 2 1/2 years. American policy will change for the beter then. Right now it's all for Israel, you know this.

Pre-emptive attack?
Like The barracks bombings in Lebanon in 1983? or maybe the first twin towers bomb in 1993? or maybe the USS Cole? or maybe the Kenyan embassy? or maybe the apartments in Saudi Arabia? (I could keep going)
I hate it when middle eastern people repeatedly attack the rest of the world, then cry "Help me from all of these evil soldiers! I'm just a simple victim!!!" when anyone retaliates...

The US administration is not carrying out a pre-emptive strike. It is reacting to the variety of Terrorist actions it and its western allies are suffering. If is sad that the Middle East and particularly the Arabs are branded as terrorist, but this have been because of their own doings and they have none to blame but themselves.

That would be stupid. First your fellow Arabs are killing more middle eastern people than the US. Not to mention that would be just the reason the US would need to destroy parts of the Middle East, which personally I think would be a good idea!
