The Gemayel warning and the regional war
Caroline Glick's excellent Jerusalem Post column elaborates the theme of the regional war in the context of the assassination of Pierre Gemayel. Lebanon represents one front of the regional war and Israel another. Iraq is yet a third front of the war. Iran is key to each of these fronts. Iran is at war with us and unfortunately must be dealt with.
For another graphic illustration of the regional nature of the war in which we are engaged, see Ali Alfoneh's "Iran's suicide brigades." Alfoneh's essay includes a copy of the registraton form to be completed by the suicide brigade volunteers. The form allows the volunteers to indicate their preferred target: "operations against U.S. forces in the Shi‘ite holy cities in Iraq; against Israelis in Jerusalem; and against [Salman] Rushdie."
