Maybe I am missing something but I see the assassination as part of Hezbollahs Coup attempt and I see Hezbollah as just another name for Iran... The one thing that I might add is that we must remember that Syria is ruled by Alawites, not Sunnis. And Alawites more closely align with Shi'a than they do Sunni. In fact, the Maronites, at one point were closely aligned with the Syrians. so ineffect Iran is taking over Lebanon at Syrias expense... It's possible that Nasrallah is playing both sides against one another, telling the Syrians that if they don't give him weapons, he'll rely more heavily upon the Iranians. Syria needs the USA more than it knows,or maybe it does know and is just not yet capable of making the connection. One would think this was the case and that the Syrian power brokers are on a path of self-destruction, but I frankly don't understand the totality of what is shaping thinking in Damascus. I can analyze the broad trends, but not the finer detail that are driving events. Very astute comments, btw... Hawk
