6. If Lieberman really want's a jihad with Iran, he should volunteer for front-line duty...

Better yet, he could challenge Ahmadenajad to "single combat" to settle their dispute. Single combat is a time-honored tradition of avoiding war by having leaders fight a duel and accepting the outcome as final. There is precedent for this in Islam, as it was done with approval of the prophet Muhammad. Therefore, I'm sure any honorable and sincere Muslim leader would agree to it for the sake of his/her people, and no doubt the courageous, patriotic and selfless Lieberman would accept the challenge in a hearbeat. And if for some reason one of these honroable men shocked the world by refusing the challenge, they would expose their true characters: a willingness to have others suffer and die for their wars but an unwillingness to risk their own lives for the causes they say are so noble and right.
