                           SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria's armed militia 
of Islamic extremists attacked Israel, giving Israel every right to 
unleash fury on these terrorists.
  Israel is not only fighting to protect themselves, but every other 
reasonable, freedom-loving person sharing this planet.
  A Hezbollah spokesman said they are fully ready to send trained and 
armed volunteers to every corner of the earth to jeopardize Israeli and 
American interests.
  The attacks of September 11, the bombings of London and Madrid, the 
terrorist roundup in Toronto and the present day insurgency in Iraq all 
forecast an unsettling but winnable trend, Mr. Speaker.
  We are in a war against Islamic extremists, and the battle lines do 
not start and stop in the Middle East. They extend to the far reaches 
of the globe, and will do so until democracy replaces theocracy, 
freedom replaces tyranny, and equality replaces injustice.
  Mr. Speaker, our Nation stands beside Israel as they protect their 
homeland and fight our common enemy, Islamic extremists.
