I haven't read the Newsweek article yet but I will in a minute.
But I think that it can't be stated often enough that this is the ultimate goal of the jihadists.
That is one place where I think Newt did Republicans a favor this morning on the Sunday talk shows. Despite his bit of Bush bashing, he is putting the war in context of WWIII and we ignore the threats at our peril.

6:41 PM: More highlights: (According to Channel 2s analysts, this is not a normal Nasrallah speech.)
Channel 2 is currently showing and simultaneously translating Nasrallahs broadcast. Highlights:
All that Israel has hit has been civilian targets. We have only hit military targets. We had no choice but to bomb Haifa. We will do whatever it takes to protect and defend our people. The world now understands whats happening in Lebanon. Our fighters are prepared to fight. We are awaiting an attack by tanks and troops. We showed how he can surprise, and we came through with our surprises. We are planning to rebuild what has been and what will be destroyed. Its possible to hang a lot of hope on the Lebanese people. Rumors that an Egyptian ship sank is all part of the Zionist lies. There are no Iranian soldiers helping Hezbollah. They are all Lebanese. We are not asking for any-one to come and assist us. We dont need any help. Were fine. Were doing fine. We inflict injury only with the hand and by the help of Allah. Foreign Ministers of the Arab world have admitted that theyre helpless. Today, the Arab has a chance to unite [against the Zionists]. We are the arrow-head. We are giving the example of how to defeat the enemy. This is a battle of the entire Arab nation, not just Lebanon.
