Hezbollah, at the end of the day, is Iran's homegrown export division of the Islamic revolution. There one goal is to establish Sh'ite theocracies across the Middle East and eventually the world. Syria, with no oil of it's own, continues to fund itself by playing henchmen to Iran and allowing them to use their territory as a launching pad and safe haven for Hezbollah. I feel bad for the Lebanese. While there are some Lebanese in Hezbollah, it is much more an organization of Iranians and Syrians. Other then declaring they don't care who's responsible, they're going to end it, I cannot imagine what Israel's rationale is.... Lebanon only recently threw off Syrian shackles and gained some limited form of self-determination. If Israel wants Lebanon's quasi-secular ruling coalition to collapse and have an all out theocracy at the helm to their North, they're playing all the right cards.

Personally, I think the Palestinian incursion for kidnappings, followed so closely by Hezbollah repeating the action means only one thing.... more time for Iran to develop nuclear weapons while international attention is diverted. At the end of the day, Israel is proving to be one of Iran's greatest enablers.

And you'd be hard pressed to find a more staunch defender of Israel in the Backroom then yours truly...
