U.S. In Afghanistan Firing On Pakistan

I don't think so.

Doing that incinerates their Shia bretheren in Lebanon as well one of the holiest sites of Islam and guarantees Iran's destruction through retailation that can not be stopped. Before the Iranian missile would touch Tel Aviv, Israeli submarine launched cruise missiles would be on their way to Teheran from the Indian Ocean.

Then there would be no hope of ever finding the "Hidden Imam."

I don't necessarily think that the here and now and this world matters to some of these people. We're trying to think about this rationally (as we in the West do -- prolonging you and your allies' life span and welfare). Many of their lives are so pitiful that death is not so bad. Of course, the leaders that incited the war would be in bunkers while their people suffered and died on the outside.

I would also tend to think that Hezbollah and all of those in Iran that support them would "sacrifice" themselves/or would "be sacrificed" in the same way that a suicide bomber does just to further the clash of cultures. Again, the leaders that incited the war would be in bunkers while their people suffered and died on the outside. The theocratical regimes of the Middle East are perfect examples of the phrase "Do as I say, not as I do."

And I do believe that Israel would win eventually because of the U.S.'s military backing. As for the "hidden Iman", I don't think that the Muslim world wants to instigate Armageddon. Not because of a lack of religious belief on their part, because the "end" would not be at all how they pictured it.
