Look people, let’s face it. This conflict may as well be America forces, or British forces for that matter, for all the difference it makes. We, the USA and Israel are all joined at the hip; anything Israel does we support, anything the USA does likewise, we refuse to condemn them, the bloody yanks supply Israel with the weapons with which they beat the Ragheads over the head, we know they’re doing it, we refuse to condemn them, it wouldn’t surprise me to find that the UK is also supplying ordinance to Israel too.

But this is not about Lebanon. It’s ultimately about Iran and Syria. This conflict is not going to stop until either Iran, or Syria, or both, have been dragged into it. Not noticed how everything that happens seems to be somehow Irans fault? Not remember how the bloody Yanks have been camped out on Irans doorstep for the past year, telling lies about their "nuclear weapons" programmes? Just wait and see; the very fact that Hezbollah = Iran in every other breath is obvious enough.

The scariest thing will be how China and Russia react if Iran does come into it. Don’t forget, they have both signed a defence treaty with Iran, and Russia has huge investments in Iran (including suppying anti-missile missile systems). WW3 anyone?

How about the Bush-Blair ‘approval’ of the conflict as a cause?

Neither has been prepared to say "this is wrong and must stop"

Neither has a shred of humanity left in their soul - greed, corruption and power have made them into the root of the very causes of evil that they claim to want to eradicate from the World.
