Lebanon In The News

Hezbollah getting attention.

A couple Lebanese civil war pieces in a row from France 24. Hezbollah is under the gun and the sectarian power sharing that calmed things down a generation ago is now long in the tooth.

Those B-2 bombers lined up at Diego Garcia are obviously going to be hauling GBU-57A/B to Iranian nuclear program sites.

And Syria just finally ousted Assad.

I cringe every time I see anything on conflict from this region, everything is connected, every little scrimmage runs the risk of setting off something more serious.

I don’t care for the regime but I have long supported Iran’s post revolution baby boomers making serious changes. Maybe if the nuclear ambitions are ended with some finality they could do that.

But in that part of the world blood is what lubricates change.
