Hizbullah's new-found popularity in Sunni-controlled Gulf states poses future security threat
GERTZ...
ABU DHABI — Hizbullah has become the rage in Sunni Gulf states.Take Saudi Arabia, ruled by the sternest of Sunnis. In the Saudi port of Jeddah, the hottest product is a brand of fireworks called "Hizbullah."
Yemeni traders hawk a rocket that measures a meter and sells for about $40. The firework explodes like dynamite and emits a rainbow of colors. A smaller version is called "Bin Laden."
Saudi authorities have banned the Hizbullah fireworks as too dangerous. But that hasn't stopped thousands of Hizbullahs — produced in China — from being ignited throughout Jeddah on Ramadan nights.
In the aftermath of its war with Israel, Hizbullah has become a hit in the Gulf Cooperation Council. To Sunni youngsters, Shi'ite Hizbullah represents the promise of Muslim strength.

Read My Lips... We Are Going to Get What We Deserve From The Midterm Elections!
The votes are in -- and the Democrats are claiming that the results are a referendum on a failed Iraq policy and an evil administration full of nitwits and sluggards. Mark my words -- We, as a nation, are going to reap what we have sown in this election.
The mere fact that Nancy Pelosi will become the Speaker of the House is extremely dangerous for anyone who doesn't consider "conservative" a vulgar word. Pelosi's intent is to radically force the darkest aspects of the gay agenda on America, along with the continued and uninterrupted murder of millions of unborn children (through abortion, partial-birth abortion, the morning after pill and embryonic stem cell research) and open borders where all aliens, criminals and derelicts can easily enter the US. Groups like NARAL, NOW, NAMBLA, HRC, the NEA, Planned Parenthood and Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) must be peeing their pants with excitement over the Democrats win last night.
Pelosi will also likely push for trumped-up impeachment charges against George Bush, as well as criminal prosecution of Donald Rumsfeld. She is secretly, but definitely, trying to work her left-wing liberalism into the White House, where she can openly promote her nazi-esk feminism to Americans.
Barring some scandal that runs her out of office, Nancy Pelosi alone will set into motion events that will hurt this country for generations to come. Add to the mix, the likes of Howard Dean, Charlie Rangel, Hilary Clinton, John Murtha and other far-left extremists. It hurts my heart to know that the mass media accomplished its goal.
Conservatives should be ashamed for not showing up at the polls and voting their beliefs and values. We will indeed reap what we have sown.
