Israel & Lebanon war-ish

I have a feeling that Syria may be drawn into this sooner or later.

Which could be devastating.

Think about it: Syria is supporting Hezbollah. From time to time Israel even hits targets inside Syria. Let's say that happens, or someone thinks it did, and the Israel/Syria border becomes ugly.

Enter Iran. Iran's President might follow up on his threat and launch missiles (which may or may not be nuclear) at Israel and perhaps Iraq, and invade Iraq intending to 'liberate it' from 'Zionist oppressors'. Boom. Big war, possibly World War Three.

Remember only one side has nuclear weapons at this point. If Syria and Iran come in they risk near annihilation.

The Lebanese PM the whole time has been offering Israel a cease-fire and disarming Hezbollah, and Israel is rejecting every offer of his.

I have not heard that on the news but I seriously doubt the Lebanese could disarm Hezbollah. I am unaware that the Lebanese army has any real power at all. If I am mistaken and the Lebanese COULD disarm the terrorists and have made such an offer, I would agree Israel is very wrong to not accept it.

I read the article and I still have my doubts the Lebanese army can rein in Hezbollah. I guess I would have to ask why would the Lebanese government have to "re-assert" it authority over its own territory. It obviously lost such control to Hezbollah. I am all for the UN helping Lebanon to control its own territory but I still don't believe they can do it alone.
