Haven’t we heard this before? Isn’t the good news “just about to start” in NeoCon land? The fact is that Lebanon is becoming more strongly Shia as their birth rate soars and the Christian Lebanese, the ones who stage those over-publicized cedar-flag demonstrations, give up and leave the country. The strongest force in the country is Hezbollah. The strongest force in Iraq is the Mahdi Army, very similar to Hezbollah. And yet the NeoCons/Likud, who gave Hezbollah and Sadr their opportunities and made them what they are today, continue to promise us that “Spring is just around the corner”! Do they realize how bitterly sarcastic that sounds?
