POWER LINE:
... not only did Syria and Iran avoid any direct material damage to their countries, there was no serious international criticism or call for sanctions. As a result, one can expect Iran and Syria to arm Hamas on a large scale with rockets, advanced anti-tank weapons and high-quality explosives.THEY LINK TO THIS DAMNING ANALYSIS, BY RUBIN OF THE JOST.
It seems to me that the Bush administration bears some of the responsibility for the triumph by Syria and Iran. Instead of working with the French to limit the damage that Israel could inflict on Hezbollah, perhaps the administration should have pushed for condemnation of, and sanctions against, the powers who supplied Hezbollah.
If Hizballah is merely a proxy of Iran, then they should be cut off from Iran - one way or another: making the Lenanese border air-tight and sanctioning Syria and Iran. And then they should be smashed.
If Hizballah is not a proxy, then they are merely a renegade force in violation of UNSCR#1559 and should be smashed in order to enforce this UNSC resolution and restore Lebanese democracy.
IOW: There is no excuse for NOT smashing Hizballah. The recent "cesase-fire" merely delays the inevitable and will make smashing them tougher.
If the time for diplomacy has not yet passed - in Lebanon and Iran and Syria and North Korea, then the point of no return is rapidly approaching. The only thing that can stop the day of reckoning is a Democract dove victory in Novemeber - that will lead to us surrendering to Iran and Syria and North Korea; (like Chamberlain and the Sudatenland, the Dem Left doves will do to Israel and Iraq and Afghanistan and Japan what they did to China and South Vietnam and the Contras: abandon them).
