Terrorism is rotting the Islamic revolution it craves - Sunday Times - Times Online:
Hezbollah's men of terror are both the strength and the Achilles heel of a movement that seeks to spread Islamic states, says Amir Taheri
The scene is Beirut, some years on, when Hezbollah has driven out the 'Crusader-Zionists' and begun building the model Islamic state it has promised since the 1980s.
The rallying cry of Tony Blair, for western democracies to remain united in the global war against terror and engage in a battle of values, has not been heeded. The western powers, led by the United States, have run away from the Middle East, allowing the Islamic republic and its newly acquired allies in Al-Qaeda to set the agenda.
The former American University of Beirut has been replaced by the Iranian-sponsored Islamic University. As teenage volunteers for martyrdom, chant 'Allah, Koran, Khomeini', the new chancellor of the Islamic University prepares to read a message from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president.
