Just Cause

Let's face it: Aside from fighting for themselves, the Israelis are also fighting for us. For the Iranians, Israel is the first front in the war against the West, and they supply Hezbollah to do their fighting for them. The introduction of easily launched rockets and more advanced long-range missiles across the borders of Israel is an augury of what other countries could soon face internally: India, for example, and Russia, too. One day, and soon, ethnic and sectarian terrorists - operating out of relatively self-contained regions or smaller population centers - will catapult projectile weapons into adjoining cities and areas. The countries so attacked will not respond any more gently than Israel has.
