On the one hand, Israel is getting ready to do what the U.S. has done to Iraq – invade as well as occupy, or cripple Lebanon’s ability to be a conventional military threat on behalf of a decade or so.  They found a “legitimate” reason to go to war as well as are now attempting to accomplish military/political goals long sought after. 2. On the other hand, this could all be political theater.  The U.S. publicly looks like its trying to broker peace, but it secretly wants as well as supports Israel’s strategic aims – i.e. a modified “war by proxy” approach. Likely outcomes: - Obviously more terrorism – this is more ideological ammunition on behalf of Al-Qaeda & Hezbollah. - This shall galvanize Arab nations as well as further increase anti U.S. as well as anti Semitism in the region (and on a global scale). - This shall add more fuel as well as increase the growing rift between right-wing, hard-core Christian as well as Muslim philosophies. Intelligent creatures, these Humans (said with the utmost sarcasm). Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:54:18 -0400 keepquiet9790
