I agree with most of your post. The key in this post 911 world is the moderate Arab countries. I am so encouraged by Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan standing up and denouncing Hezbollah. In spite of the action being supporting Israel's right to defend itself and squarely saying Hezbollah instigated this. This is a monumental first step. I am concerned that as the intensity of the fight grows that the initial support of Arab sentiment wanes.

If the moderate Arab world stands up to terrorism in a substantive way, that will be the 2nd real step toward solving the problem over time. The first step was what Bush did when he boldly drew a line in the sand and said the words I love... "Your either with us or with this terrorist. We will make no distinction between the terrorist or the countries that harbor them" ... Until there is a clear line of demarcation, behaviour is not unlawful. We need Arab countries to join in the consensus that terrorism against innocent civilians for the sake of just slaughtering infidels is wrong and will not be tolerated regardless that you claim to be a Muslim ....(I am not talking about collateral damage from Cowards building their infrastructure under civilian shields)... Those civilians who watched them move into their communities have to be emboldened and encouraged to rat them out. A global neighborhood watch if you will. Once they can't intimidate the locals but know that any and all could be ratting on them, then they will be divided against themselves and their house will crumble.
