Yes but remember, Yahoshua, that these events are rooted in a history much older than any of our lives. Israel created a great amount of instability when it was forceably introduced into the Middle East and those tensions have not been done away with. As far as al-Qaeda is concerned the US started the war which we perceive began on 9/11. Its not that we haven't been doing anything. it;s that we've been doing everything to the Middle east for more than 100 years. many muslims in the Middle east see the Western World in general as guilty of crimes against their forebearers and also that we continue to promote instability within their countries. And they are right. I'm not condoning 9/11 or Hezbullah butI'm saying we started this a long time ago. We took our superior power and imposed on them our might. We have conveniently forgotten that. I'm not condoning terrorism but the fact is that we practiced terrorism against these people long before they turned it back on us. So this is an endless circle of violence that is generations old. War begets war and people, especially the traditionally based islamic culture, have a long memory for crimes against their nation.
And even if hezbollah started this what is bombing Lebannon back to the state it was after the last war gonna do? It was this kind of destruction that opened the door for a group like Hezbollah to become so powerful. When you wound a people they will not stand by and be attacked. They will fight back. 9/11 was a culmination of anger and revenge for everything we've done to these people since our forebearers entered babylon and crossed the Sumerian heartland and declared that we were there to civilize them and free them from tyrants. Well we became the tyrants and they are just doing what any of us would do. They're fighting. And as long as we continue to bomb their cities and kill their families there will always be a place for terrorism and hatred and hezbollah will grow ever stronger. And if not hezbollah then another group. They aren't the original terrorists. We are and we are still the terrorists. How do you differntiate between a Hezbollah rocket in haifa on a train station and an israeli Air Strike in Beirut on an apartment building? Israel is terrorizing the Lebanese. There are no good guys here. Its only bad deeds begetting bad deeds. And we will do this again in 20years if nothing changes.
