"We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.

Thats wonderful, we have 2,000 volunteers register around every 2-3 months.

"They have been trained and they can become fully armed. We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests. We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light to take action. If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said.

Yeah, the peace loving Hizbollah.

Aren't they just so loving and non-violent?

These kind of cowardly comments are why I believe we need to address the countries that support these cowards. If it means that we must bring pressure to bear on the rest of the unaligned countries ... so be it. Money, shelter, food and information are what make it possible for these cowards to function in so many corners of the world. It is time for us to inform friends and countries that are not so friendly, that it is no longer business as usual. We can no longer sit on the sidelines and hope that the UN will take care of these problems.

As long as there is one terrorist group that is supported by ANY country, nobody is safe.

Oh great. How responsible and diplomatic. They may as well just say "hey, coalition of the willing, come and kick our teeth in". It'd be quicker.

The United States cant afford to confront all terrorist-supporting countries...We aren't doing real hot on this war, let alone a multi-front one...I agree that as long as terrorism continues to be supported, terrorism will exist, but the United States can't do it alone. Even with 2 or 3 countries backing us up, we can't beat ALL terrorist organizations.

Where did I say that the US has to confront ALL countries that support terrorism. What I said was

"we must bring pressure to bear on the rest of the unaligned countries"

What this means is that we need to create a coalition of ALL the non-terrorist supporting countries to help send the message that supporting terrorism was NOT going to be overlooked anymore. Bringining pressure on non-aligned countries is just one way to accomplish this.

Sure, we could send that message...We could talk the talk, but when push came to shove, could we walk the walk? Could the coalition really back up saying that? It might not be overlooked anymore, but does that mean they would DO something about it? I don't see it going farther than political pressure, if that.

IF ... and I say again ... IF ... the coalition were big enough and IF the coalition were to say enough is enough, then I believe that terrorists would find themselves between a rock and a hard place with NO PLACE to hide.

What makes terrorism so effective, is the money, shelter, food and information that civilian communities in various countries supply to the terrorists ... removing these items from the mix will leave the terrorists no option but to come to the table and really reach an accommodation with the coalition ... it's either that or they die.

I realize it is simplistic in nature ... but ... the most effective plans are sometimes this simple.
