Why Removing Terror Regimes Is Important

Israel's struggle against Hezbollah in Northern Israel is a stark reminder of why regimes that sponsor terrorism such as Iran are rightly called part of the "Axis of Evil".

In microcosm, Israel's struggle against it's own al-Qaeda mirrors the efforts of the United States to squash regimes that would use terrorism to acheive its aims, and the Sheba'a Farms in 2006 conjure strong reminders of the Sudetenland before World War II:
A peace that doesn't include the original intent of U.N. resolution 1559, which demands that Hezbollah disarm, is also far-fetched. If Hezbollah was disarmed, it would be in no position to threaten anybody's peace. Without its Iranian rockets and Iranian money, it would be irrelevant.

Israel has demonstrated it is willing to trade land for peace, but it is not willing to cede any land to Iran's terrorist proxy Hezbollah. And the U.N. settled the 'territorial issue' of the Shebaa farms when Israel withdrew from Lebanon. Or so Israel thought.

After President Bush announced his support for a Palestinian state, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon admonished Washington, 'Do not repeat the dreadful mistake of 1938 when enlightened Europeans decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for a convenient temporary solution.'

Israel, he added, 'will not be Czechoslovakia.'
Land for Peace is a myth when negotiating with those who know violence as the first resort. Hence why the War on Terrorism is so important and stretches beyond the normal conventions -- giving in to terrorists of any stripe is precisely the sign of weakness that cannot be tolerated.

History has sadly presented one case: Nazi Germany. God forbid history provide a second lesson in the Middle East, and terrifyingly again at the expense of the Jewish people.
