Lebanon Will Be First Victim of Iran Crisis.

[Matilda]

Trust Robert Fisk to put his finger right on the button - from The Independent, London:

"For the West, the crisis in Lebanon - where Hizbollah and its allies are still demanding the resignation of Fouad Siniora's government - is getting more serious by the hour. Up to 20,000 UN troops - including Nato battalions of Spanish, French and Italian forces - are now billeted across the hillsides of southern Lebanon, in the very battleground upon which the Israelis and the Hizbollah are threatening to fight each other again.

If Israel is America's proxy (which the Lebanese don't doubt), then Hizbollah is Iran's proxy. The more the United States and Israel warn Iran of its supposed nuclear ambitions, the more Hizbollah increases the pressure on Lebanon."

When the Iraq invasion was looming, I felt passionate, and marched, talked, and signed petitions with
great energy. Now I just feel so tired and drained - they never finished the job in Afghanistan,
they've stuffed up good and proper in Iraq, and still they haven't learned. Meanwhile the planet
is going ever-faster down the gurgler, and we can't get them to focus on the real problems facing
us all.

The dream of peace never seemed more desirable, or so far away.

I am tired and discouraged as well. The world is on fire and we are grabbing more oil.
