(No hyperbole needed)

While writing about rhetorical hyperbole, I discovered that war has broken out:

MARJAYOUN, Lebanon (Reuters) - Hizbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers and killed up to seven Israelis in violence on either side of the Lebanese border on Wednesday, further inflaming Middle East tensions.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert described the Hizbollah attacks as an "act of war" by Lebanon and promised a "very painful and far-reaching" response.

Two Lebanese civilians were killed and five people wounded in retaliatory Israeli air strikes after Hizbollah announced it had captured the Israelis.

Israeli ground forces crossed into Lebanon to search for the captured soldiers, Israeli Army Radio said. Hizbollah and the Lebanese authorities said there was no large-scale incursion.

Maybe it's another war involving Israel, and maybe it should be considered another battle in the ongoing war between the West and radical Islam.

Either way, I'll admit my bias.

I'm on the side of the West.

How very true my friend. This is definately about East v West and has been for some time, even if it has been thinly veiled by governments of all persuasions.

Go the West for our way of life.
