Neo-Cons Tryin to Run the Game

"...For generations, the Lebanese army has been among the world’s most timid. It went through the motions of fighting Israel briefly in 1948 and took no part in subsequent Arab-Israel wars. It has consistently been a non-factor, or rather non-actor, in Lebanon’s civil wars these past 35 years, bringing to mind the old quip about the Soviet satellite states: that they were so neutral they did not even intervene in their own internal affairs.
Why the sudden daring?
Because Hezbollah now largely controls Lebanon, and Iran owns Hezbollah, and both are feeling their oats. Initiating the skirmish with Israel was of a piece with the boast by Ahmadinejad’s chief of staff just three days earlier that Iran could build a nuclear bomb....., the Lebanese deliberately staged the incident to heat up the border in order to deflect the UN investigation of the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, which reportedly is leading directly to the doorsteps of the Syrian government and Hezbollah. .....
Democracies don’t ever go to war with one another, (ambitious: israel and lebanon are thus democracies')but they often have gotten into wars with dictatorial regimes, and often those wars have been provoked by the democracies’ natural tendency toward pacificism, which leads ambitious authoritarians to overreach. Thus, Germany counted on England’s aversion to war in 1914; Hitler dismissed the democracies as soft in the 1930s; Dean Acheson declared South Korea outside of America’s “defense perimeter”; and April Glaspie told Saddam Hussein that America does not intervene in intra-Arab conflicts. In the end, democracies do fight, as they did in those instances, but often they might not have needed to had they not tempted the aggressors by a display of weakness.
Obama’s softness toward Iran has emboldened Ahmadinejad; and his similar stance toward Syria had led to the collapse of Lebanese independence that had nearly been restored in 2005. In the end, the US is likely to fight, and Israel certainly will. The steady growth of the radicals’ self-assuredness, stoked by Obama’s appeasement, will end in a big blow-up."

Considering evidence shows that Israel is the primary suspect behind the assassinations, it would make sense that neo-cons in the USA are trying to divert US attention from Israeli actions and intents and into the dead end of a conspiracy that is being molded on a daily basis. Iran telling Lebanese to defend the tree that was being uprooted.....yeah.....and I had a conversation with Marvin Gaye last night......give me a break
