Bush's Hezbollah hangover...
'After Hezbollah's efforts in Lebanon, US attempts at public diplomacy across the Arab world have been rendered stillborn. This does not presage an Islamic revolution, the coming of a new caliphate, or a war of civilizations. But it is creating the kind of upheaval that is unlikely to be in America's favor.

CAIRO - It is now the long morning after for President George W Bush and his merry band of misguided Middle East grand strategists, who gambled big by letting the Israeli army run wild in Lebanon and came up empty.

As in Iraq, circa March 2003, the Arab world was supposed to have been shocked and awed by an almighty display of US-made firepower, with the uppity Islamists rather than the uppity Arab nationalists on the receiving end this time around.' http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HI06Ak02.html
