Track this with what the USA just said.
No appologizing just dealing with reality.
You have a weak arab governements being lead by wacko groups.
No matter what you or I think, this is going to get very very very bloody.
I can't say that I'm terribly thrilled with the moral relativism and the lack of defense of an ally by the Dept. of Surrender, err, State. This is typical for them.

I think you're right. Israel HAS to clean out the Hezbollah rockets from South Lebanon, and Iran-funded Hezbollah isn't going to sit there without firing off a lot of them. Israel may end up finding (and/or be on the receiving end of) some of Saddam's "non-existant" chemical WMDs. I pray that they only find them, but with the savagery already displayed by various Arabs over the years, I'm not terribly optimistic.
BTW, Iran is clearly behind all of this, IMHO to try to distract the rest of the world from its nuke program with a full-blown Mideast War. Syria may also get involved.
