...whose words were spoken in front of a backdrop of ruins which was once a shining city. These are not the kind of people who can lecture Americans on civilization.

He's just upset because he thought he had the monopoly on that sort of thing.
And soon you may be silent, dead, and radioactive.
"Hizbullah leader: US is 'conceited, haughty, arrogant'"

That's right, we do.
Nasrallah, bin Laden, Saddam, and the rest of them play the Arabic shell game with the truth. By their statements, they betray their flawed belief that reality is subjective and can be whatever they wish it to be at any point in time. Clearly, they lack any knowledge of Aristotle's Law of Identity.
=========
Identity is the concept that refers to this aspect of existence; the aspect of existing as something in particular, with specific characteristics. An entity without an identity cannot exist because it would be nothing. To exist is to exist as something, and that means to exist with a particular identity.
To have an identity means a single identity; an object cannot have two identities. A tree cannot be a telephone, and a dog cannot be a cat. Each entity exists as something specific, its identity is particular, and it cannot exist as something else. An entity can have more than one characteristic, but any characteristic it has is a part of its identity. A car can be both blue and red, but not at the same time or not in the same respect. Whatever portion is blue cannot be red at the same time, in the same way. Half the car can be red, and the other half blue. But the whole car can't be both red and blue. These two traits, blue and red, each have single, particular identities.
The concept of identity is important because it makes explicit that reality has a definite nature. Since reality has an identity, it is knowable. Since it exists in a particular way, it has no contradictions.

In other words, the Hizbullah are terrorists.
Yep, and you'll feel the back of our hand a few times before we squash you under our heel like a bug.
Nasrallah said Bush was "threatening the entire world from under the dome of the United Nations," adding that world leaders sat facing him "like schoolchildren."
You're right there, Mr. Nasrallah. When world leaders act like schoolchildren, they'll be treated like schoolchildren.
"The United States gives itself the right to categorize the people and governments of the world as terrorists and terrorist supporters. It gives itself the right to define terrorism ... At the same time, (US) warplanes were killing 300 civilians in Kabul and Kandahar," he said.
When you're the most powerful nation in the world, you will have the right to do the same.
He is right! We are.
And we also have one kick as military.
So if this moron had an ounce of brains he would be trying to make nice nice instead of baiting the bear.
All he is going to achieve with this sort of thing is speeding up appointment with allah.
There is a reason they and their countries are in such bad shape - themselves.
KEEP CRYING HIZ-BULLAH JERK*FF, 'CAUSE WHEN DADDY GETS HOME HE'S WHOOPIN' YOUR ASS!!
Well, I know we're certainly above these people.
