No, of course Iran wants a bomb. The region is a tinder box. And it's between Afghanistan and Iraq.
More people (soldiers?) have been dying in Iraq than Lebanon. Hizbullah has become the hero of the day among the Islamic world for taking on Israel (win or loose is irrelevant. Everyone knows you don't f*ck with Israel. That's why they did it).
This may have something to do with the Shia/Sunni divide. The conservative Arab regimes are feeling uncomfortable. I wonder if the long term aim of Hizbullah is directed at those regimes, not so much Israel?
A diplomatic solution? What does that mean? It's nice when we can hear how some of the leaders actually think (Yo Blair).
I fear we are in for a lifetime of Middle East peace process.
