This is just NOT gonna end well

I know it’s seemed like the Middle East has been spiralling out of control in the past. But the Israelis are now looking to be fighting a multi-front war, and that’s never good. At least they’re going about it methodically and correctly, severing the supply lines and airports to hinder troop movements. And at least Bush isn’t criticizing them (at least not at the moment) for taking action against the cretins of Hezballuh who see land give-backs, not as a sign of a desire for peace, but a show of weakness. Although he *has* stated that the Israelis should show “restraint,” and considering the actions of Bush et al in regards to Iraq, I think we’ve pretty much thrown away the “show restraint” card.

I think this thing is either going to die down very quickly or tip over into full-blown, multi-nation war very quickly. No half-measures here.
