the problem in lebanon and in iraq and in the region as a whole is that everyone forgets the abc of national liberation struggles and that is front formation. it is difficult to fight an anti imperialist war with shiites alone or sunnites alone. the really big war is in iraq and there iran and its subservient mullahs have been pro american. now thsi allowed the us to galvanize the sunnis into anti iranian positions. so later the US can do iran whilst the world watches on tv. iran will be hard pressed to recall that a united anti imperialist front in iraq is better than the bomb for its interests.
