From my article today on NRO:
“The truth is that there will be no salvation for Lebanon until there is regime change in Iran. One might dicker over whether an end to the regime in Damascus might suffice, especially given the strong ties that inspire Hezbollah to decorate its rallies in Lebanon with posters of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But the epicenter of the problem; the prime boot camp where Hezbollah foot-soldiers go for indoctrination and terrorist training; the oil-rich moneybags and top dog among this transnational pack of thugs, is the regime of Iran. Until it goes, Hezbollah will have the resources, the safe havens, and the incentive to press on with its role as Iran’s proxy force on Israel’s northern border, and sharp stick in the eye of a White House that hailed and tried to support Lebanon’s 2005 Cedar Revolution.”

1. Ron Kean:You would think it would be a good opportunity for Sarkozy to score points in the free world, send the Foreign Legion, and re-assert French influence in Beirut like the old days whenever they were.
The French army gets a bad rap. They were there at Verdun, and the unsuccessful yet almost successful Schleiffen Plan.
Napoleon’s army won a lot.
