The Next Lebanon War Is “A Matter of When, Not If”

June 23, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Lee Smith on the inevitability of a new war between Lebanon and Israel:

Regardless of how Israel’s enemies game it out, sooner rather than later, Jerusalem is going to have to make war on Hezbollah, because the United States is withdrawing from the region, Israel is getting weaker, and its enemies are getting stronger. The only way to ratify or challenge a new balance of forces in the region is through war. Someone will miscalculate or decide that war serves their interests or both.

A perfect time for sending peace flotillas..
