“The wise man, surely, seeing death as the end of his life, makes sure that the days granted him are well-spent”.

Here is the list of the rich and the famous bachelors that dominates the world’s limelight.

Hezbollah formed in southern Lebanon to counter the Israeli occupation following the invasion of 1982. The name comes from two words: “hizb” meaning “party” and “Allah” meaning “God”. The translation changed “Allah” to “Ullah” meaning “of God” and you are left with “the Party of God.”

Lebanon, one of the few Democracies in the Middle East, has experienced unrest for perhaps 50 years, as dissident social and cultural groups within the country refuse to assimilate.

A report has been released stating the United States is the number one seller of military hardware to developing countries. The same report also states Russia is number three on the list in the same market. Is US foreign policy skewed in the Middle East because of our arms sales?

Some in the Israeli cabinet are floating an idea of asking UN peacekeeping troops to come in and and be a barrier between Israel and the West Bank towns. Is this really such a good idea, and does the Israeli leadership have the stomach to surrender any level of power for peace?

In part three, we review the claims that Israel was “goaded” into the Lebanese war by the United States, examine the Bush/Israeli doctrine of “hit list” states, and lastly look at the Israeli state’s spending habits.

In part two, we examine how the Israeli government failed its citizens during the Lebanese war, look at their financial options to getting their budget back on track, and investigate how Israel wasted vast amounts of costly ammunition.

I was browsing through a website today when I came across an article titled, “Israel has the right to defend itself”, and although most of the world has heard President Bush reiterate this statement during the Israeli–Lebanese war, it suddenly struck me how this line has become repeated gospel to every Christian Zionist, republican, and those still convinced and angry nineteen Arabs hijacked four flights on September 11, 2001. Out of the blue the alarm bells went off and the thought hit me squarely between the eyes: “this is propaganda….this is a fallacious argument!”
