Moderate Arab states denounce Hezbollah for starting conflict.

[Clarkie1]

This is significant:

Lebanon sought support from fellow Arabs at an emergency session of foreign ministers in Cairo on Saturday. But sharp rifts erupted as moderate Arab states denounced Hezbollah for starting the conflict.

Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal called the group’s actions “unexpected, inappropriate and irresponsible,” telling his counterparts: “These acts will pull the whole region back to years ago, and we cannot simply accept them.”

Supporting his stance were representatives of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, delegates said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.

4. what do you mean "you", as though YOU are addressing ME

I have NEVER been for collective punishment, but I am also NOT for the destruction of Israel

15. How does the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers bring down the country?

There has been no proof that I'm aware of that the original soldiers taken have been harmed. Yet over 100 civilians and at last count 8 more Israeli soldiers have been killed.

So where is all this taking people?

5. When even the Saudis side with Israel

then you know Hezbollah really fucked up. Although, Saudi Arabia has had its own troubles with Hezbollah, so perhaps this is a special instance. The Saudis did have that telethon for Hamas. Nevertheless, I'll take any sanity I can get.

14. It's all part of the dance.

Sorry, but I have a hard time believing any of these players mean what they say at face value. Meaning anything these players say, including Israelis, is backed by a motive behind a motive behind another motive. Layers of motives reaching back a thousand years or more. It's difficult to know what they MEAN!

16. Um, Carlyle Group anyone?

What do you expect from a bunch of sheiks in bed with the entire Bush family?
