G'day
I was thinking about this, and often we take it back to our earlest memories. So Hizbullah is really recent for me, came in in the 80s, didn't it?
There was an article reprinted from Ha'rrets(sp??) which claimed it was a trap. Hizbullah is looking long term...this will be going on long after we are both dead, I think. The point for them is to radicalise the islamic world, and have they not been successful in that? But the article was talking geopolitics, with Russia and Iran brokering a ceasefire in return for no contest over Iran's nuclear reactor. Of course it might very well not pan out that way. But the G8 didn't concentrate on Iran, and I wonder if Iran will be able to do it now. Pincer movements all over the place. We shall see what happens. Lebanon is only a small part of it (I think).
