Interesting developments in Lebanon

Again, fairly overwhelming work and family commitments will keep my blogging nonexistent, but there’s interesting stuff in the Middle East as I discovered when I took a break to read up-to-the-minute news and analysis at the Captain’s Quarters.  The Lebanese government is falling, Hezbollah is fighting harder, and Israel may actually have ended up in a situation in which the UN can’t shriek if she presses forwards into Lebanon.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this has a good outcome for Israeli and American interests — the good outcome being that Hezbollah, our mutual enemy, will be destroyed or dramatically disabled with the UN hopeless to assist it.
