To Save a Revolution

Not only has Israel jumped the shark, this time, but the U.S. had as well, AGAIN!

What has happened to Lebanon is an outrage and everyone invloved should be hauled up to the Hague for war crimes!

To Save a Revolution:

You could sense the hurt and anger as Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora pleaded this week to the U.S. ambassador and other diplomats in Beirut for a halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanese targets. 'The country has been torn to shreds,' he said. 'I hope you will not let us down.'

The challenge for the Bush administration as the Lebanon war explodes into its second week is just that -- to keep faith with Siniora and his Cedar Revolution, even as it stands by its close ally Israel. This isn't simply a question of appearances and public diplomacy. Unless Siniora's government can be strengthened, there is little hope for achieving the U.S. and Israeli goal of bringing Hezbollah's guerrillas under lasting control.
