Although late to discussion, but US is the one country creating problems for the me. Arm and aid Israelis, takes sides in Iran-Iraq war, establish monopoly in the gulf region to safeguard its oil interest. If it wasn’t for the oil, US would not be no where near the gulf.

Those Lebanese that support and welcome US intervention in Lebanon, be cautious that US did not help Vietnam, Afghanistan and many other countries in the world. Today it is not helping Iraq….

craig,not sure your comment,” the US was *not* in fact a participant in the civil war.”is a correct.They did launch missiles from their New Jersey ships into the mountains killing many druzes after Gemayels request.I actually rememeber those days,rushing down to the basement of the building,actually my relatives might still have shells as ornaments and vases in their homes,anyways the past is the past…but seriously The US did get dragged into the war and did take sides as they have always done…unless you can come up with an example of the US really being neutral peace keepers.And about hizbollah getting smashed by the US?i dont think they could do better then the Isrealis in this aspect,but if they did,theyd probably destroy the whole country too.Maybe even drop a few cluster bombs for revenge of those marines.

Craig, a couple things I would point out to you.
-Saddam hadn’t committed any overt crimes against Americans when US troops invaded Iraq in 03.

-Most probably, it was HA that committed the 83 atrocity against the Marines, but recall that it was the president of the country who actually fooled (stabbed in the back, if you want) Americans into thinking his factional war against one major portion of the population, the Muslims, was neutral and in national interest.

-And why are you so sure that this conflict wouldn’t serve as a good pretext to establish a presence in Leb and confront HA down the line… (even if I despised HA, I wouldnt want Americans to take matters into their own hands.. the reason? simply you guys just dont have a good record, i.e. any successes, in these things.

To all conspiracy theoreticians or dillusional junkies (same same) please come back to reality if you want to take part in reality. Lebanese just like the rest of the arabs love talking and analyzing politics, and specially give lessons about politics to the rest of the world and especially the US. What a joke! Lebanon, a country of barbarians who NEVER EVER got to unite under one flag wants to tell the Americans, the leading democratical system in the world what to do or how to behave, basing their analysis on what that son of a monkey Nasrallah has gargelled last night.
I sometime wish that the US backs up from the middle east and leave all the arabs get crushed and annihilated by their own civil wars or by theese 4 million jews that prooved they can kick the donkey ass of 100 million arabs.
All those who wish the defeat of the US in the Middle East, we know who you are: a bunch of brainless agressives who wants all the arab countries to stay in the barbaric ages so you can reign with fear on uneducated uncivilized masses.
Future will tell who is desperate and for what reason

I believe Nasrallah has a point, though I am no HA supporter. The Bush Administration is so desperate at this point, that if this thing goes on, they might hijack the situation and make it their own cause… losers would do anything to divert attention, and the US is no better than any other country.. they would rather have a new front blow up and widen the conflict than cut their losses and move out with their heads between their legs..
one thing I feel is important, as some others have mentioned as well, this shouldn’t go on for long… I dont know the size and location of this camp well, but an army backed up the most powerful country in the world should be able to besiege and demand they surrender and it seems to me they would… thinking that we should eliminate every man standing is naive… there are plenty soldiers of fortunr out there on both Al-Qaeda and Syria’s payroll… so a political and judicial solution is another word for a symbolic conclusion to the conflict and deportation of the militants.
the problem with leb is not that it hasnt been able to root out terrorists but that for cheap political gain, it has supported and given them entry and safe havens in the country.. maybe thats the lesson 2 b learned.

Whether it was a “10 minutes drive” or a 10 hour flight, and whether it is a sunni war is beside the point.

as 1973 was a Christian war, 2007 may be a Sunni war. So what? Now, the army must win.
