I've Been Thinking:

Yesterday Lebanon arrested 11 men, all connected to al Qaeda.

The arrested men were plotting attacks.
Attacks against the Lebanese.
Attacks against Western targets in Lebanon.
Attacks against Israel.

Lebanon also captured a boatload of weapons en route to terrorists.

Al Qaeda is trying to get a foothold in Lebanon. That is not unusual.
What is unusual is that al Qaeda is succeeding in their efforts in Lebanon.
It is a problem that must be addressed.
It is a problem for Lebanon, for Israel, for the West.
It is a problem for all liberal Muslim countries.
It is a problem that will not go away on its own.
