If Israel Falls, the West Follows - Saul Singer
A radical Islamic front, led by Iran and including Hizballah, Hamas, and al-Qaeda, is making a bid to expand its brand of theocratic rule throughout the Muslim world, with the aim of dominating the West. If the U.S. retreats in the face of this challenge, militant Islamism will advance.
Israel may or may not be the first victim of this advance, but we will not be the last. As the 9/11 attacks illustrated, the Islamists have tired of pretending that Israel is their primary enemy. For an Iranian-dominated Muslim world, Israel is the hors d'oevre; America and Europe are the meal.

One would hope the world community has learned some lessons. This sort of extremism must be confronted. At the same time, invading nations that choose governments we detest will not be the answer, or even feasible, as we have seen. It will take time and patience to confront these challenges, but in order to have the opporutnity to work this out, a nuclear middle east must be thwarted at all costs.
