Well, this isn't really any more than confirmation of Iran's proxy war in Lebanon, which most people who have been watching that area have known for years. Nice of the old fellow to be quite this public about it, though. Let's use a nice, comfortable rope to hang him.

Iran really likes fighting these proxy wars don't they. We fight them in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here. They fight us in Iraq so they don't have to fight us at home. Time to take the fight to them. I don't think they'll like that very much.

It's the blathering of a religious fanatic and a lunatic to boot. No matter, Israel is busy reconfiguring the "correlation of forces" in the Middle East as we speak, and Iran is not going to be happy with the outcome.

To refute challenges to the new context surrounding these expressions, any user of these terms must be able to define the words in order to defend their accuracy and the appropriateness of their use. Otherwise anyone who dares to define the enemy using its own Islamic language can be challenged by a variety of "pundits" who still see the struggle in terms of religion or poverty rather than political ideology; who despise Western society, capitalism or democracy; or who oppose the war for any other reason.

So,...to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Weinnies of the left and the press here is the correct definition and words to describe you (Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) and all of your synchophants no matter where they are or of what stripe:

Hirabah: this word, which is derived from the Arabic root which refers to war or combat, means sinful warfare, warfare contrary to Islamic law. There is ample legal justification for applying this term to Islamic totalitarian terrorists and no moral ambiguity in its connotation. We should describe the Islamic totalitarian movement as the global hirabah, not the global jihad.4

Mufsid (moofsid): this word refers to an evil or corrupt person; the plural is mufsidun. We call our enemies mufsidun, not jihadis, for two reasons. Again, there is no moral ambiguity and the specific denotation of corruption carries enormous weight in most of the Islamic world.

Fitna/fattan: fitna literally means temptation or trial, but has come to refer to discord and strife among Muslims; a fattan is a tempter or subversive. Applying these terms to our enemies and their works condemns their current activities as divisive and harmful.5 It also identifies them with movements and individuals in Islamic history with negative reputations such as the assassins of the Caliph `Uthman in 656, who created the first fissure in the political unity of the Muslim community.

Totalitarian: calling our enemies totalitarian serves several purposes. There is no such thing as a benign totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is a Western invention and it appeared in the Islamic world as a result of Western influence (first fascist, then Marxist- Leninist). It is also in direct contrast to the idea that the enemy would actually establish a caliphate if they defeat the United States, our allies and coalition partners.

In closing let me just say may the fleas of a million camels infest and torment you in the most private parts of your body.

"Muslims proud of Hezbollah"

Sure they are. Like Sicilians are proud of the Mafia. Or Russians are proud of Cossacks.

Most Muslims are FRIGHTENED of the Hezbollah. It is the bogey man that makes little children behave.

"The Lebanese people know the value of resistance"

Resistance to what? Their peaceful neighbor?

Only insofar as Lebanon refuses to control its territory as a launching pad for terror need they worry.
