The Next Stage of War
(U.S. News) Michael Barone - Former CIA Director James Woolsey suggests that, once we are secure in Baghdad, the U.S. should tell Syria's Bashar Assad, "You have to get out of Lebanon now." Then we should help the Lebanese uproot the Hizballah terrorists who hold southern Lebanon. This will be a blow against the mullahs of Iran, who control Hizballah, which many regard as a larger and more dangerous group than al Qaeda. Michael Ledeen suggests aiding the overwhelming majority of Iranians who want to oust the ruling mullahs. We should be getting in touch with those who are fighting for freedom in Iran, and aid and encourage them overtly or covertly in any useful way we can.
