CONNECT THE DOTS

Now Hezbollah has decided to get in on the act. They have captured two Israeli soldiers, as well as killing at least three others. The IDF has responded with a limited incursion into Lebanon, where Hezbollah is based and where the kidnapped soldiers are believed to be held. This leaves the Israelis now fighting on two fronts against two of their most implacable enemies, in the North against Hezbollah and in the South against Hamas. Hezbollah is a Shiite organization, believed to be backed by Iran, and Hamas are Sunni Palestinians. Interesting how they now seem to be cooperating. Interesting how an Iranian-backed group can thrive in a country (Lebanon) that is still dominated by Syria in many ways. Gee, could the Sunni Syrian Baathists be cooperating with the Shiite Iranian Mullahs to, through their proxies the Shiite Hezbollah and the Sunni Hamas, destabilize the situation between the Palestinians and the Israelis in order to make life even more difficult for the Americans in Iraq? If you said yes, then great minds think alike.
