Unfortunately, the airways are inundated in the USA with the news about Israel and Lebanon. Happily, I concluded that at last Greece and Alexander are finally vindicated as this ongoing conflict has really produced some thoughts from my mind that are very Alexander in purpose. So I finally realized that nothing proves that Alexander did right for Greece than this ongoing debacle of Israel versus Lebanon. I see that the Lebanese look like the ancient Greeks and the Israeli's strongly resemble the ancient Persians in their overconfidence and domination of numbers and weapons. At last, I see and understand why it is that Alexander battled and won his victories, and finally is vindicated through my eyes! Viva Alexander!
As for Israel and Lebanon, I believe that the end results of Lebanon's shellacking looks worse than the World Trade Center. We know how America responded to that. You can just imagine what will be the response to Israel's actions taken today. Israel is clearly in the wrong considering it is supposed to be a nation ruled by the Ten Commandments. Clearly, it has transgressed the law! Vengeance is mine saith the Lord! Israel will pay a price for this serious deed of wrongdoing.

The present confilct has little to do with Alexander in my humble opinion and I don't think that comparisons can be made or are useful.
