The Sad thing is; at the end of the conflict the American tax payer will end up paying the bill to rebuild Israel and Lebanon. I guess Lebanon will come on top. The country will have to be rebuilt on the other hand Israel has to patch up.


Tehran already offered to pony up funds. But they offered to Hamas too, and we can see they haven't coughed up very much money. Iran needs all its oil money to prop up its disaster of an economy. But the Lebanese are businessmen, they can do fine if they don't have nutcases who answer to Tehran making their foreign policy decisions.

As for Israel, you don't need to worry a bit about Israel. It has a $100 billion dollar GDP, it does just fine.
