We are on record from 9/11 as going after all the Terrorists, where ever they are. I read this to include Hamas and Hizbollah. Yep, and I don't. I have no idea what Bush meant. And he may not. He kept using global terrorists as a term at the time, and I had hopes he was deliberately using that to avoid the problem of attacking regional based civil wars, wars of resistance, political movements, etc. I see no reason for us to take on Hamas or Hizbollah, so long as they do not threaten mainland US. And every reason to resist doing so. We have enough to do trying to track down Al Qaeda. On another front, I posted a link to a nice Foreign Affairs article on mistakes the Bush folk are making tracking terrorists in Southeast Asia. I recommend. However, you can get only the 500 word preview at the Foreign Affairs website.
