The Arabs think if they breed like roaches they can someday take over.

That only works as long as the global welfare state has cash. Muslims who actually have to go out and WORK to support their offspring won't have that many of them

Luckily nobody pays attention to Chirac. Not even the French.

On an earlier version I had marked the Bekaa Valley but Photobucket kept re-sizing the image even though it was well under the 1 MB limit, so this version does not have that area noted.

It is the large elliptical valley running southwest to northeast, halfway between Beirut and Damascus.

I realize you probably already knew that, but some folks may not be familiar with the area. Hope it helps understand what is yet to come.

I hope they're not caving in to pressure from the U.S. or the Euroweasels.

I understand that your friend is scared, and hope she remains safe.
But also picked up the Jews = Nazis comment.
Has she previously commented on her own / other Lebanese opinions regarding hizbola and/or Israel?

I had former neighbors that took their 4 little girls repeatedly to a war spot in Africa. Those poor kids had malaria, dysentery, parasites, etc.
The wife finally developed a medical condition that prevented the return to Africa. (Insurance wouldnt cover)
I have to this day felt like God intervened in that case. Sad.
Parents, you want to go to these places, fine. Take your chances.
Dont drag the children too......

Iran: Hezbollah will not be disarmed,

Then it will be driven back to Tehran, where it belongs.
