It's War?

So Hezbollah wants a war, eh? Against Israel? I can't think of any example in world history where a society has been consistently and irresponsibly duped and dragged into the mud by unreasonable pseudo-leaders like the Arabs have in the 20th century. They literally live in a separate dimension from the rest of us.

At this point and juncture in human civilization, it is beyond any normal conceptualization of normalcy how they continue to destroy their own existence. Is there anything left in the Arab soul? How do they survive as a cultural species? Indeed, it is impressive that they do so given the madmen that lurk among them. As I have said, there is no parallel in Western culture to match the suicidal (or self-genocide?) of an entire culture and religion.

I'm 0/2 now. First, I could not come up with anything that came remotely close to what Zidane did in the world of sports (just hypothetical. I have heard good ones such as Roger Clemens hitting a batter on purpose with the base loaded in a World Series match. Or Cal Ripken smashing his bat on a player prior to breaking his consecutive game streak. Or Tom Brady jumping over the center to punch an opponent in the Super Bowl. Or my personal invention, a goalie cross checking a player in the face while his team is on a 5 on 3 power play in a Game 7 situation. They still don't match what he did). Second, I have been stumped by the Middle East. Evidently, even our best and brightest are too. Not a good week.
