ISRAEL'S Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu today compared the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon to the Hollywood movie Alien.
The 1979 science-fiction thriller starring Sigourney Weaver depicted "alien ferocious bodies that plant themselves in a host and lurch out, burst through the chest, and attack the person next to the host and in doing so, kills the host", Mr Netanyahu told Canadian broadcaster CTV from Tel Aviv.
"Hezbollah is the alien body and Lebanon is the host," he said.
"And the mother alien, if you will, producing these poisoned eggs, is Iran, with its way station to Syria."
Israel would be the bystander struck by the alien monster, he implied.
"If we're going to have a future of peace and good neighbours, a future of tranquility, then this alien ... it's got to go," he said.

Can't say I saw the movie, but it seems a fair comparison.

I say we stand off and nuke them from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure!

I love the process of dehumanization of the enemy... It makes them easier to destroy.

It is the step 2 in the SOP. Step 1 is recognizing the enemy's existence.

Unfortunately, the alien's host does not survive the experience.
To: mewzilla
But is it more like the movie Star Ship Troopers? I mean, at least the Aliens were cool looking and had acid blood... I mean, these Muslim fanatical look like p*ssies, stink like crap, and hide under camel droppings... There is nothing cool or inherently frighting about these guys other than their amazingly large cowardice.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishfull thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers

alien ferocious bodies that plant themselves in a host and lurch out, burst through the chest, and attack the person next to the host and in doing so, kills the host Uh no. The juvenile that bursts from the chest certainly does not attack the person next to the host. It's very vulnerable at that stage and like any creature it's instinct is saftey. If it is outside the nest then it will try to hide.
