Not to say that I think this is equivelent to what Western societies do to educate/indoctrinate youth, but I'm afraid this statement is full of holes.
First, I am sure those living in the region, specifically Lebanon and Israel, would call their situation 'all out war'.
Second, there is no way you can compare completely different societies by saying, "... in 2008 ..." because this means nothing. You can't tell me that you think that you could go into the wilds of Africa and find tribespeople who live very differently from you and expect their society to be similar to yours because 'it's 2008'.
Society goes on a spectrum, so this is an extreme example, but you can't look at where OUR society is in 2008 and expect someone else's to be there as well.
