Bush's foreign policy blunders are in large part responsible for the current trouble in Lebanon. The Hezbollah fighters would not have staged that raid without Iran and Syria approving, and both Iran and Syria have been driven further into a corner by Bushie threats and military adventurism in Iraq. The real tragedy here is that after 9-11 Bush could have united the world on our side. They were marching in the Streets of Tehran after 9-11 in support of the US. Arafat got down on his knees and pledged to help us. ALmost the entire world was on our side. Now we have never been so isolated, at least not since the darkest days of Vietnam. I truly believe that only a change of US leadership at the top will bring this part of the world back to a semi-sane condition. There will always be some extremists who blow up things, but Bush acting as though we are Israel's angry big brother was truly counter-productive. Plus, Bush has spent his military capital in Iraq. It's gone. We are in no shape now to wage any large-scale military operations. Lesson being, next time retaliate only against those who attacked us. Bush should have finished the job in Afghanistan then gone the route of tough diplomacy instead of a rush to war in Iraq based on fabricated reasoning, intel and assumptions.

Hizbullah blew up the Jewish community center in Argentina a few years ago. I talked about American targets. Not Jewish targets. They don't. They are solving their OWN problem with Hizbullah. If you read a posts ago you had said that HIzbullah owes allegiance to Iran and implied that since the US has a problem with Iran, it is OK for the US to support the Israelis in the present war. Your posts suggests that there is no country called the US. Instead it has merged with Israel and anything that Israel does is the same as a US act. Is that right?
