I hate to say it, but the Warren essay coincides with much of my observations. I see quite clearly that the Palestinians are now viewed as the proxy warriors for the Arab battle with Israel, and that with the media attention on Israel/Palestine, the arming actions of Iran/Syria must be directed towards Southern Lebanon and Hezbollah.

I agree, but I would qualify his prediction of "external attack". The Arabs think they have a real winner in the proxy-war-of-attrition school perfected by Hizbollah and picked up by Hamas and the PA. Therefore, the attack will come via those agents; the Arab armies cannot get involved directly. At least, this logic works for everyone but Saddam.

There is more than Spring in the air and I'd like to see a definitive strike by our side take a lot of air out of the lungs of the cowards of the ME.

Amen, brother.
