Heard of missiles, Hawk? Or how about rockets? Hizbullah has about 10,000 of them in Lebanon. Where there are plenty of Shi'a who get on with Persian Shi'a just fine.

Come on Nadine... Most of those missiles can't reach more than 20 miles and they have the explosive power of an artillery shell... Serious, but not something that threatens the existence of Israel..

And you and I both know that Israel could invade and occupy Lebanon in days, should they choose to do so..

But I'm talking about conventional warfare with hundreds of thousands of men invading Israel.. or Nuclear weapons on long range missiles (definitely a threat)..

There was a VERY good reason that every Sunni Arab state in the region was willing to support Saddam in his war against Iran. They fear Tehran just as much as the Israelis do..

But fortunately, most Iranian youths don't share that desire to wage Jihad on behalf of the hard-line government in Iran..
