If the European Union follows Israeli recommendations this week and places Hezbollah on a list of official terror organizations, the economic consequences of sanctions would “destroy” the Lebanese terror group, Hezbollah’s leader told Arabic language television.
Isn’t the most interesting implication of this how intrinsic European funding is to Middle Eastern terrorism?

Bradley Smith says that the freewheeling days of political blogging and online punditry are over.
In just a few months, he warns, bloggers and news organizations could risk the wrath of the federal government if they improperly link to a campaign’s Web site. Even forwarding a political candidate’s press release to a mailing list, depending on the details, could be punished by fines.
Smith should know. He’s one of the six commissioners at the Federal Election Commission, which is beginning the perilous process of extending a controversial 2002 campaign finance law to the Internet.
Sadly, this really does follow directly from the law. The interesting question will be “what is a link/post worth in dollars?”
The real issue remains official, Saudi-backed terrorist teaching, financing, recruitment and other support on American soil. Civic organizations examining the materials available in American mosques, as well as the textbooks used in Islamic schools, recognize that an amazingly-extensive network of such indoctrination centers exists right here, three and a half years after the horrors of 9/11.
Freedom House, based in New York, recently issued a shocking report on Muslim extremist religious literature distributed in American mosques.
According to the report, along with other evidence, day after day, Saudi-educated imams in the Saudi-owned, Saudi-constructed and Saudi-controlled mosques in the United States, and teachers in Saudi-built schools using Saudi-produced textbooks, continue to spew hatred of the freedoms that permitted them to find a place in our country to establish their evil dominion over American Muslims, and of their neighbors in our communities.
Story after story appears in our media, and Saudi subjects continue to figure at the center of terrorist conspiracies. Americans have the right to say: Enough.
The U.S. government has the duty to roll up the Saudi-Wahhabi hate conspiracy in this country once and for all, and to demand that the kingdom turn off the flow of cash that keeps it going.
I can understand wanting to put off the direct confrontation with the Saudi Entity in the Middle East (better to flank than charge straight up the middle at the enemy’s strong point) but I can’t understand why we can’t confront pernicious activity like this in the USA. On the other hand, it’s nothing new. We let the Soviets colonize most of our higher academic institutions, so why should I expect it to be different for the Caliphascists?
