Israel is hell bent on dragging the US into this conflict (besides the US supplied weapons). Hezzbolah rides the point for the Arab world.
Despite a short term cease fire to evacuate the innocents, this situation has ramifications that will escalate very quickly.
In the current state of affairs, it's very easy to point fingers and accuse each side of being "animals".
Unfortunately, that doesn't bring resolution to the matter.
Blaming continues to incite.
The Arab world is "on fire" now.
In my view, it's time to take a deep breath.

Of course Israel is trying to drag the US into this conflict. Any idiot can see that. If Bush does that though he will lose the House and the Senate in the fall. Let Israel sink or swim on its own. The US should stop giving them aid and then the Arab world won't have supporting Israel to hang around our neck. It is much more important that the Arabs like us than the Israelis. We need support from the average citizen in these arab countries if we are ever going to get rid of the crazies, and we will never get it as long as we support Israel.
