"Open War"

Hezbollah has now claimed they are ready for "open war" with Israel.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah's leader said Friday that his group is ready for "open war" with Israel, and as his words were broadcast, guerrillas attacked an Israeli warship that had been firing missiles into southern Beirut.

"You wanted an open war, and we are heading for an open war," he said. "We are ready for it."

The Hezbollah leader also repeated a threat to hit the Israeli coastal city of Haifa and other towns farther south. "To Haifa? Believe me, beyond and beyond Haifa."

"You (Israelis) must take responsibility for what your government has done," he added. "You will soon discover how stupid and foolish your new government is."

This is the same Hezbollah that stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 under Carter, holding the hostages until 1981 just after Reagan took office; the same terrorists that were responsible for the deaths of 241 American armed forces during Reagan's presidency.

Iran's Ahmadinejab has repeatedly threatened to "wipe Israel off the map".

For those who still say we need to make nice with the terrorists, and to understand the root causes, here is a timeline of attacks just at the U.S. This does not include the thousands of attacks on Israel, Malaysia, Indonesia or the Philippines. Just attacks against the U.S.
