Right next to our embassy too -- Do these people want a state or not?

anon, sadly we wouldn't be offering them a state if they hadn't resorted to violence in the first place.

Actually they were given a state by the UN 50 years ago, at the same time the Jews got thiers. They called it Jordan. The dumb Arabs gave it up for another failed chance at killing more Jews in 1967. Apparently murdering children was more important than having a state then and remains so today. Oh well.

IDF should invade Lebanon now. Syria, hemmed in by US forces in Iraq, will be able to do nothing.
